Short Break

We were greeted by Marian upon our arrival who the showed my wife around the cottage. Although we hardly saw the hosts we were made to feel extremely welcome and that nothing would of been to much trouble for them. The home made scones were delicious.

Relaxing and quaint cottage

We rented for 33 days. It was centrally located in the middle of Ireland so we could do day excursions and some overnights as well. The rate was more than reasonable. It was located in a very remote location, but that aided us in our relaxation. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful since they lived right next door. I highly recommend this rental.

Emerald Isle Introduction

We chose this property primarily because it was centrally located to serve as a "hub" for our stay which involved day trips to different regions of Ireland with our rental vehicle and it worked out perfectly. It is a quaint, typical irish, cottage in a country rural setting.
