The cottage is amazingly roomy, especially the kitchen. We loved the turf fire and it is warm enough to heat the cottage, though there are radiators if you need them (after the first night, we only used them to break the morning chill). Sean had a roaring fire going for us when we arrived home after a day of touring and visiting relatives. He dried a load of laundry the first night and even mailed my forgotten iPad home to the US. We can't wait to go back! Pick up a few things at the shop in Claremorris on your way in, for dinner the first night, as the local pub doesn't serve food.
