A taste of Rural Ireland,

James was the consummate host. While the unit could be called country cottage simple, the welcome was all one might expect in the form of warm Irish hospitality. Situated on the outskirts of Mountshannon, you do need transport, but with car in hand you will be able to visit the highlights of the region. just bare in mind local 'R' roads can be narrow with high hedges, and meeting commercial traffic might test your nerves. However, think cautiously, drive slowly and all will be well. The nearby Lough is very picturesque, and you can walk to a small port where the view is across to Holy Island. We had one mishap, while enjoying the the best of Irish hospitality, but we all caught Covid.... However, James and the neighbors could not have been kinder, supplying us with books, games and veggies from their garden to sustain and aid our recovery. Thank you. Rod Sandra & Miss Flora

A little slice of heaven

Our stay in James's cottage was pure bliss. Its located in the most idyllic spot with a 4 minute walk to the lake and a view to the mountains. The cottage itself was lovely and private but James and Anne were always on hand with a friendly hello or to answer a question. Myself and my family had a wonderful week there and would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything.

Erholsamer Aufenthalt

James war ein toller Gastgeber. Wir kamen recht spät an und im Kamin brannte ein Torffeuer für uns. Das Häuschen ist gemütlich eingerichtet und wir haben nichts vermisst. Die Dusche ist für irische Verhältnisse riesig und der Wasserdruck hervorragend (beides schon häufig anders erlebt). Es sind tatsächlich nur wenige Meter bis zum Ufer des Lough Derg und die Umgebung ist wunderschön.
