I would echo what others have said about this being a nice getaway place, offering plenty of quiet and solitude, a feeling that you've gone back in time somewhat, and beautiful views from the backyard -- less of the river than expected, but lovely mountains and farmland, and the sound of the river is very soothing. I would also echo that guests should be prepared for a stay that has no bells and whistles, and less of the amenities we're accustomed to at most lodging sites. It's a rustic getaway. If that's what you're craving, you will be very content here.
Allaye, who handles check-in and other logistics, is very friendly and helpful, and gracious in sharing her local knowledge. She gave us great tips about local places to visit -- including a secluded spot called Port that had stunning views of the ocean and surrounding hills and cliffs. The cottage is also a very short drive (about 7 minutes) from the wonderful town of Ardara, where we heard a tremendous music session at the Beehive bar, found great food and atmosphere at Nancy's, and great woolens at Eddie Doherty Tweed. If you're lucky, you might get a demonstration on the loom from Eddie himself.
