An absolutely idyllic getaway in beautiful Western Ireland. Peaceful and quiet, but near everything you could want from a walk up the mountain or in the nearby forest, to a welcoming village and friendly people. I stayed a month, and enjoyed every moment.
The kitchen is well equipped, the furniture comfortable and perfect for the cottage, a good fireplace (Jurgen always made sure I had firewood), and the sauna is an absolute treat. I worked remotely for part of my stay, and the stunning lake view from the cottage even made that part fun.
Helen and Jurgen are spectacular hosts -- communication with Helen was excellent, they shared recommendations for the area and region, and went above and beyond to help make my time here the best holiday I can recall.
The Mountain Cottage is an incredibly special place, and I can't wait to visit again.
