This is going to be a long review, but incredibly worth it. Tessa responded to my inquiry the day I made it. She was kind, helpful and even asked if I was sure I wanted to stay there that long as it is a rural place. But I promise you you won’t regret it. The day we arrived Tessa and Wink were warm and welcoming. We stayed an entire month and everyday when we were headed back to the cottage we said we were headed home, not back to the cottage or to the air b n b, but home. We felt safe and welcomed from day one. We were a party of 3 adults and one 2 year old. The cottage is wonderfully charming and a beautiful place to stay. It is equipped with everything you would need. We love to eat out, but we also like to cook. The kitchen is stocked with everything you would want. There was even a hand blender so I could make frosting and whipped cream! It was spotless when we arrived and they had scones, Irish butter (which we fell in love with!) lemon spread and fresh raspberries from their garden on the table with a carton of milk in the fridge for us. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of. The inline shower had broken a few days into our stay, and they got the plumber over to fix it. That night was a cold one and we were out, but when we came home after the plumber had left they had lit the fire place for us so we weren’t cold. The horses were such a calming and interesting addition. Our son absolutely loved getting to pet them and feed them carrots. They have three little dogs that he couldn’t get enough of as well. They let him run around and play in the garden and the grass. We became more than renters, but friends. We will absolutely be back to stay with them again! When our boy is a little older we will come back and spend another month. We found a wonderful cafe, Blas, in Portumna about a 15 minute drive that is fantastic! The beef lasagna and desserts are delicious. We did have a car so it was easy getting to explore Ireland. I cannot tell you how wonderful our stay was or what amazing hosts Tessa and Wink are. If you ever get the opportunity to stay here do not pass it up!
