We had such a great time at Carmels cottage. The surrounding countryside is just beautiful and so is her house. Louisburgh is just a few minutes away as is the beach - or more precisely - the numerous great beaches. But maybe the best thing about our stay was Carmel herself. She was the perfect host friendly, welcoming, warm, giving useful advise on how to explore the county... it's hard to find words for the comfortable atmosphere she created. We strongly recommend staying at Carmels Charming Country Cottage! (also... the breakfast... a dream!!!).
