This cozy "cottage" is in fact quite spacious with an open layout. Pros: detached building with ample parking; combo washer/dryer (detergent provided); plenty of toiletries; pantry stocked with cooking essentials (oil, salt, sugar, honey, etc) and both coffee and tea; strong, steady hot water in the shower; tranquil surroundings. Bonus pantry items provided are breakfast oats and snacks, which was great for us to start the day and take some for the long drive ahead.
Gracious hosting. It's evident how much pride Brenda and Bobby take as hosts. On arrival, Brenda greeted us and gave us a tour of the cabin before asking us about our itinerary and kindly offering suggestions. A crate of sightseeing books and maps in the cabin are also provided for last minute planners. We had a very short stay but could easily see all the thought put into guest comfort. It was very much appreciated.
FYI: From the cabin, it's an easy walking distance to Ashford Castle. Cong village is also easily accessible with free parking right before you enter. If you're getting here from Galway, it's a fairly direct drive.
