Jill's cottage is beyond beautiful, set in an area of Ireland steeped in history (with megaliths, neolithic cairns, old monasteries, castles, forts, chapels and tombs) without the clutter that comes with highly touristy areas (we much preferred this area to the Giants causeway in Northern Ireland!)
The cottage itself is stunning, with locally sourced organic products for breakfast, endless fascinations littered throughout the cottage, and a beautifully maintained garden (courtesy of Jill herself!). The room was spotless, the bed delightful, and the room very authentically countryside Ireland.
But by far the key reason I give 5 stars is for Jill herself. A woman of a million talents (sailing, horticulture, carpentry, too many to name), she is welcoming, self-effacing, warm, and kind. Neither too "in your face" nor shy, Jill is the main reason to come, and to come back.
