Such a beautiful place, both the cottage and the scenery. Mary, the host, was very helpful, kind and friendly. The cottage is well-equipped, very clean and comfortable. I had no trouble finding the place from Dublin airport (half hour drive) and while you are in countryside, with fabulous views of the mountains, nearby places to walk and hike, lots of peace and quiet...you also have shops for groceries just a few miles away and you're less than half hour drive to Dunlaoghaire or Dublin city if you want the urban experience. I enjoyed the welcome basket with eggs and honey from the farm and the extra logs Mary brought up so I had a nice fire going (there is heating that works well too, cozy fire was nice bonus on a rainy day!). I highly recommend O'Rourke's Cottage and hope to get back there again for a visit.
