We stayed in Emily and John's cottage for only one night and wish we had scheduled more time here.
We were not sure how late our arrival time would be, but John told us that it would be no problem. We got in very, very late - around midnight, and John was kind enough to stay up until that time to let us check in.
After driving for many hours (Dublin to Galway and then to the cottage near Cork - all in one day), we were exhausted when we arrived. We appreciated the food Emily and John provided for us in the cottage; fresh fruit, bread, butter, several types of jam, eggs, cereal, coffee, tea, and much more. It was lovely to be able to have a midnight snack and have enough food left over for breakfast the next day. It was such a thoughtful touch.
We found this blacksmith's cottage from the 1800s to be comfortable, warm, and cozy. My husband said that the bed was the most comfortable that he has ever slept in. We felt very welcomed and well cared for.
Thank you, Emily and John, for your lovely hospitality. We hope to come back and stay with you again.
