The Purtill Cottage was a fantastic stay for our family of five. Everything has been thought of, whether small touches like a few food items upon our arrival to an international power converter (thanks ;). The location is remote but only a few Km outside Adare and it's a quick drive there, to Shannon, Bunratty, etc. Most of all we felt the warmth of Victoria as a gracious Irish host! Tidy, warm and well appointed, the cottage was entirely charming and win our hearts the moment we walked in the door. Our boys loved the boardgames on-hand, the wood burning stove and the area around the house for lots of outdoor games (plenty of DVDs in case you have a rainy day). To that end, it was perfect for a family and we had no problem sending the boys out to explore and play (they loved playing hide and seek around the hedge rows). If you get the urge for a little getaway closed to Ireland's most picturesque village, look no further. We will definitely be back!
