Patrick's cottage, as others have found, is ideal for a getaway into the country. It's situated in farmlands, near lakes and the Curlew Mountains (in Ireland that's we call these hills.). It offers the possibility of exploration (we visited many spots, including Boyle Abbey, Strokestown Castle, Carrick on Shannon, Glencar waterfall and Strandhill, Sligo.) It also offers the opportunity to just bask peacefully in nature and refresh your being. We found Caroline pleasant and helpful. We would be happy to return in future.
