This is a lovely cottage that was ideal for us, to explore some of the west of the Republic of Ireland. A very tidy cottage, that had all that we needed for our stay. We would certainly use again.

We got lucky our first two nights in Ireland

The countryside was amazing, and so different from most of Ireland. The cottage was so well-cared for, and clean, and had everything we needed, including cooking utensils and equipment. It was very quiet there, and close to places we wanted to see. The scenery was amazing. The hostess was wonderful.
