Anglo-Saxon Atmosphere
We could not find accommodation in the village of Cahir. Finally, we found a B&B that was full, but the staff pointed us to another place a little outside the village, on a residential street. We found a very dressed-up house, right to the last detail (plug fresheners, for example, were shaped like English teapots), perfectly Anglo. It was really funny. The owner's daughter was very happy to showed us the room and told us the price, 60€ per night for double occupancy, including a full breakfast. Compared to the other places we had seen in the village, we decided to stay. The room was very nice, a tad small, but well equipped.
The bathroom was very clean and new, and there was even a TV. It's a good choice to try out Irish middle class households, that were perhaps wealthy in the Celtic Tiger years, but are now hosts, gaining an extra but of money. I don't know, but it was definitely an experience. By the way, the friendliness and warmth of the village, of just a few houses, is proverbial in most occasions.
