Super Special Place to Stay! Our words won’t even convey enough about how special it is. It is an authentic Irish cottage, rebuilt by hand in a traditional method using mud and straw, by the fair hands of Michael, it’s owner, your host.
The interior design adds a warm, welcoming invitation to feel at home. The big brass bed is incredibly comfortable, with quality bedding and a proper down duvet to snuggle into. You just won’t want to leave the cottage! Michael will have left a big basket of logs and the stove will crackle & pop to keep you company as you relax into one of the comfy seats. There’s shelves full of books to peruse, even a book or two about how to build your own earth cottage, should you feel the urge once you’ve discovered for yourself how special it is.
The building itself is cosy and silent due to it’s thick walls and heavy insulation, unlike many old Irish cottages which can often be a bit damp unfortunately. The floors are practical & unfussy so you don’t have to panic about bringing a little inclement weather in on your feet. There’s so many great local areas to walk that you might just encounter a small bit of Irish mud!
I haven’t even got to Michael, your host yet! He is an exemplary host, generous in every way and full of stories and information about the area. He is a wealth of information on the heritage of Ireland... little does he know though, he’s one of Ireland’s treasures himself!
I sincerely hope that we’ll get back there again soon. It’s a very easy drive from Dublin!
