We were staying in Greyabbey for just 4 days. My two friends had never visited Ireland. They weren't interested in seeing all the tourist attractions. They wanted instead to experience true Irish hospitality. Well, Greyabbey was the town and Lilac Tree Cottage was the place to do just that. In four days we became acquainted with Lindsay, Noel & Pippa, Denice & Mark, most everyone at the Vivo, as well as the coffee shop, antique store and vintage shop owners in the courtyard. When there was a problem with a credit card, Denice from the jewelry shop asked the folks at the coffee shop who know right where we were staying and remembered we were going to the ruins for a bit. She was able to find me and get the sorted. Even gave me a ride down to the shop. The folks at Wild Fowler were amazing. And Bill helped get my friend into our cottage when she took a fall in the street. Many of the locals helped stopped traffic. Later Bill showed up at our door with a card, jam cakes, and a crutch for my friend. Thank you Janet for such a lovely cottage. And thanks to everyone in Greyabbey for such a delightful stay. Love you all!
