A perfect cottage nestled in the side of a hill. Dearbhaille welcomed us with a peat fire and we were instantly smitten. The cottage is warm and cozy creating a sense of belonging and security. Dearbhaille had fresh eggs and scones for us - so welcomed after a lovely night's sleep in a comfortable bed. The surrounding is stunning - so many beautiful vistas and a short 5 minute drive to the village of Spiddal. A highlight on our last day was the tour from Charlie and friendly dog Conan. We learned how peat is made. Charlie and Dearbhaille share a vision for a science and cultural center and together they have made that vision a reality. Our only regret is that we were not able to stay longer. Make sure you have at least 5 days!
