Staying in Alan and Mary's garden cottage was a wonderful experience! Alan and Mary were responsive to our questions throughout the reservation. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Mary and fresh (and delicious) bread, scones, and jam. The cottage itself was so charming and peaceful and in a beautiful location along the coast. We told Mary we planned on driving down to the Cliffs of Mohr, but she recommended we visit Connemara instead since we were in the area. (We didn't fully realize what Connemara was prior to visiting.) We were so glad we took her recommendation!! Driving through Connemara was experience of a lifetime. We would most certainly stay here again.
