My husband and I decided to bring our daughter to Ireland to celebrate her 18th birthday. We began our trip in Dublin, and then travelled to Waterville to explore the more rural part of Ireland. Sinead's cottage seemed perfect for us (and it exceeded our expectations!). The roads to the cottage were very rural and scenic (so be prepared for this drive) and well worth the time. Sinead was a wonderful host, and communicating with her was super easy. As a side note, I purchased a SIM card for my unlocked phone, which was one of the best decisions I made for this trip. We met Sinead at a local hotel, and we set out to her cottage, a short distance from the village. The cottage was very clean, spacious, and provided all the amenities necessary for travelers. We certainly appreciated all the extras Sinead provided as well (food items, a warming fire, and informative pamphlets), and we felt safe and secure. In the morning, Sinead's father checked in with us which was also appreciated. Venturing to the local area (loved the ocean and the Skellig Islands) was easy and stress-free, and returning to the cottage was wonderful after a long day. The cottage provided everything we needed for this part of our trip, and we only wish we had more time to just relax (and maybe visit the lake again at the end of the road). We highly recommend this cottage to others, and we hope to visit again next year. Thanks, Sinead!
