What a truly glorious place! Curraghmore Cottage is everything you could wish for in a quiet country stay.
The cottage itself is a beautifully renovated original farmhouse and it’s clear that a great deal of care has been taken to lovingly restore the original features, whilst mixing in all the modern facilities for comfort and convenience. The decor is tasteful, light and calming, with super comfortable furnishings! I don’t think I’ve ever had such a cosy nights sleep in a holiday home! The living room has a huge fireplace with a log burner - I almost wish we hadn’t had such good weather so we could’ve lit it! Some of the items in the cottage are original and it’s lovely to see them still being used today.
The kitchen is well stocked with everything you’ll need, and it’s clear that it was designed with guests’ convenience in mind (I especially love the Smeg appliances!). The sink overlooks the surrounding countryside so it’s (almost) a joy to do the washing up!
The property has a huge private garden with beautifully kept lawns and pretty flowerpots - more space than you’d ever need or expect from a holiday rental. It was a pleasure to sit and watch the wildlife, such as baby wrens hopping in and out of the hedgerows. Surrounded by farmland, you’ll see plenty of cows wandering the fields. Just an all round gorgeous, peaceful and picturesque environment. And once you’ve finished taking in the surroundings, there’s a games room with a pool table, ping pong and fussball! Massive bonus!
Last, but by no means least, onto the hosts. Michael and Stephanie were by far the best, most friendly and accommodating hosts we’ve encountered on our many stays in holiday cottages! Michael took the time to tell us about the history of the house and surrounding farm. They brought a lovely goody bag of treats, things we needed for our stay, and checked in to see if there was anything else we needed. We were also welcome to walk the farm - which we did - it’s well worth exploring!
All in all, we had an excellent stay! If you’re thinking of booking, don’t hesitate. Hopefully we’ll be back!
Thank you Michael and Stephanie :)
