This place is amazing. It's a little cottage that makes for a wonderful romantic retreat for couples, a cozy visit for a group of really close friends who don't mind being in each other's pockets, and a phenom locale for someone who just wants to get away.
The amenities are everything we could ask for. A full service kitchen nook, with a French press coffee pot, electric kettle, and sugar, coffee, and I think tea provided. (we brought out own but nice, right?) Having the washer and dryer in the same cottage was really helpful, no one really wants to have to unlock another building or go somewhere else to wash their stuff. Plenty of soap and towels, and everything was really, really clean. The owner was very kind and helpful, quick to respond and didn't make us feel burdened with a list of rules and regulations. There was also a folder of suggestions for things to do and how to work things intrinsic to the house. You can tell they actually know the property.
It wasn't particularly hard to get to, though we used GPS because we were new to the roads and it was getting dark by the time we drove in. The roads are Irish country roads, which means one lane for traffic going both ways, but that's unavoidable pretty much anywhere if you want the rural country community experience. We did. There's a local pub Mary Ann's that is actually a Michelin restaurant with really good food, and it's only maybe 5 minutes away. A bit pricey but expected.
When I remember visiting Ireland, I'm going to want to curl up again on the couch in front of this cottage's little stove in October, happily drinking tea and enjoying the early morning hours. I'll remember sitting at the kitchen table to write, then forgetting to as I'm watching the sun rise over the ocean and watching the crows and seagulls fight the wind.
I can't recommend this place enough.
