This is a lovely cottage, and is just as pictured! We traveled with our two sons (in their early 20’s), and the place had ample sleeping room for us all. I think it’d work best as a couple’s getaway, though, as it’s small and romantic, and everyone ended up using the en suite bathroom. It is indeed a quick walk down two roads to the beach, and an easy walk into town for the pharmacy, grocer’s, and a few pubs. We had a car, and so most of our time was spent out of the cottage, driving up to Skerries and the surrounding (stunningly beautiful) area. Jennie was super responsive (we never actually met her in person but we texted back and forth frequently), and even had a couple of the bikes repaired for us in time for our arrival. Check in and check out were a breeze. One note, if traveling with children, the door opens RIGHT onto the road, so be mindful of that! I love that we had the chance to stay in a thatched roof cottage by the Irish Sea!
