Rachel's cottage is a gem! It is chic, stylish, comfortable and felt like home. We could not believe how dog friendly it is - Chewy absolutely loved the garden and we loved that it was secure for him. The garden is so lovely for morning coffee and evening sundowners. The location is just great - Newport is a lovely place for a stroll and has a couple of great food shops for self catering. It is a short easy drive to Westport for great shopping and Mullranny for sea swimming. And don't miss the Ballycroy National Park and visitors centre with it's lovely cafe. Clare Island is also easy to do in a day trip. Rachel is a great host and was always there when needed.
We could not recommend The Stone House highly enough - if you get the chance to visit, don't miss it!
