The Accommodation:
Wonderfully old school cottage that has been renovated to a high standard and contains everything you would need for a trip away. The small space is utilised perfectly and offers an oasis of calm from the world outside. You're about a 5 minute drive from either Cong or Clonbur, both old school Irish villages with their own charm.
The Hosts:
So friendly and helpful. They gave us all the tips and recommendations we needed for a great weekend away. We didn't have to think about much as Patricia had a really helpful tourist pack ready for us and Philip gave us plenty of ideas of things to do in the area. Special kudos to the wonderful two dogs too who were a joy to be around.
The Highlight:
The walk from the cottage to Cong Village along the shores of Lough Corrib is worth staying here alone. About 1 hour will get you to the village but put aside 3 to take in all the nature, the beautiful estate of Ashford Castle not including the majestic Ashford Castle itself and exploring Cong Abbey and the famous Monk's Fishing Hut and a welcome break in the pub at the end. Boat trips leave from Ashford Castle of the lake at 11am each day which looked good. If you want some added luxury book in for Afternoon Tea in Ashford Castle itself.
