We had a fantastic time at Roisin and Charlie's place! The cottage was right next to theirs so close enough for any questions but separate enough to do our own thing at our own pace. We were a little worried about the temperature in the cottage as I was 6 month pregnant during our stay and it was November after all but our hosts supplied sufficient electric heaters to keep the place warm and cosy when we were in the house. The views from the cottage are beautiful over the lake and I could have stayed at the house all day... but that would have been a waste as the surrounding villages are great and Roisin was more than helpful with tips of what we could do in the area. You'll also find plenty of tourist guides in the cottage to plan your activities. A car is however a must to get around but we simply rented a car at Dublin airport on our arrival which made our stay independent and great. Also plenty of towels are supplied (think luggage restrictions with Ryan Air!) and the bed and linen were soft and comfortable. All in all we had a brilliant stay and would definitely return if we are in the area again and I wouldn't hesitate to stay for a week or more!
