Oh wow, where do we start? This was the highlight of our trip to Ireland! The cottage was adorable and so full of magic. It was so warm (heated floors, yes!) cozy & inviting...but still felt spacious. We had planned on spending quite a bit of time in Galway City, but fell so in love with the cottage that we stayed in a lot of the time instead. We had our own little hobbit village ;) We arrived to a gorgeous welcome basket filled with eggs, scones, jam, granola, milk etc...such a special touch, which we thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed (thanks!!). The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. We found ourselves at the local farmers market just 10 mins away and bought the most delicious organic vegetables for a roast. We adored cooking our meals at night and playing the Irish music CD's provided, having a little jig around the kitchen as we chopped veggies! There was zero cell phone, TV or internet connection, which we LOVED. It makes you so much more present, in the moment and connected to the experience...very rejuvenating and romantic (evenings by the fire, divine!) But above all, our experience was made so very special by the hosts Dearbhaill and Charlie. What a gorgeous couple!! They certainly give you your space and live quite a distance away from the cottage....but if you have questions or interest, they are there help! Charlie gave us a wonderful little tour of the property, not only was it fun but also very educational and insightful. We learnt all about the history of the property, the process of making peat, and we even got to sample some of their yummy grapes in their vineyard. There dedication and passion for the environment was incredibly inspiring, they live consciously and with beautiful intention and we feel there is so much more to learn from them....we can't wait to return in the future!! A millions thanks Dearbhaill, Charlie & Conan (woof!) and the brightest of blessings!! xx
