This was our first visit to Ireland and both my husband and I had such a lovely time at the Red Stonecutters Cottage! We cannot recommend it enough! Our goal was to get away from our busy lives, spend time in nature and have a piece and quiet for several days; the Red Stonecutters Cottage provided just that. However, there is plenty to do and see nearby, if that is what you are looking to get out of your visit to Ireland's west coast/country side. We didn't get the chance to meet Phil and Valerie in person, but their friend Emily was so warm, welcoming and an absolute pleasure to talk to. The cottage is equipped with everything you might need for several days stay, and more. We enjoyed the evenings by the fire, going on walks around the neighborhood (Cliffs of Moher are ~8 min drive) and seeing the sun set over the Atlantic ocean right from the kitchen window. And the people - some of the nicest we've ever been around! Thank you, Phil and Valerie! What a lovely memory staying at your cottage. We will cherish these memories forever.
