        Home away from home”

        I'd like to say thank you Mc Allisters. Traveling long distance, with 3 small kids is difficult and scary. We felt safe and confident away from home at mc Allisters. The host (Sharon) was amazing. The staff were so kind. The location was literally 5 minutes from everything we needed to visit. The area was very upper class and secure. We didn't not need to worry about anything. We enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay another night. Definitely will be back again. We never knew a holiday so far from home could be so easy.
