We loved our stay at Helen's place. I can't speak to the exact cottage because we were moved to the adjoining one but we were happy with our stay. If you're looking for a luxury stay, this is not the place for you. If you're looking for the feel of staying in the Irish countryside with an open fire every night in an old stone fireplace, stone floors and some of the original stone walls, this is the place for you. Helen greated us when we arrived, had a fire burning for us and showed us around the place. There was more than enough breakfast items to feed us for our 3 mornings, plenty of towels, a washing machine and dryer, fresh cut daffodils (that smelled wonderful) and she kept us well stocked in firewood for our entire stay. Our only regrets are that we didn't notice the fresh baked bread that she'd left for us until we were leaving so we didn't get to try it, and that our stay wasn't longer. The Hook Lighthouse and Tinturn Abbey are must sees!
