Alan and Mary are great hosts, all feels so familiar with them from the first moment. So nice to get to know people like them! Mary baked amongst other things the first scones we ever tried, and after hers which were delicious, the rest we tried during our stay in Ireland were always under comparison jajaja
The cottage (as all other reviews also say) is like taken from a fairy tale, from outside and inside. And apart from its beauty all the comfort you expect is there. We cooked often and was a delight to have all the utensils we needed. Even if we stayed super short term (only 2 nights) we have a great memory about it and we don't stop saying how we wish to come back there and stay minimum a week! If we would have known how nice they were, how amazing the area was and the amount of possibilities of routes and activities to do and how lovely the cottage was we would have stayed much much longer! We will come back for sure to discover more on the area which is one of the nicest we visited in our trip to Ireland and we felt bad not to be able to go to Conemara following the recomendations of Mary as the moment she explained we realized all the possible great options.. we dont get sad as now we have an excuse to come back. We specialy liked to take the path to the beach as the walk was very nice and quiet, we saw some cows horses and even a dog that wanted to play hide and seek with us, we liked the views from the coast a lot! A fact that we discovered the last 5 minutes is that amongst the information they provide there is a tide timetable, which I found very interesting to check at! I could be writing for hours, is such a lovely place, we highly recomend the stay!
