The cottage stay was an amazing first time experience for us in Ireland! My husband & I had just eloped and we were looking for a more adventurous getaway to celebrate. We fell in love with the cottage pictures online and booked it right away. We were flying from Seattle to Dublin and arriving in the early evening.
Best parts of the Cottage:
1. The View!: Incredible view of the hills, the lake, grass, sunshine and so many sheep! It was unlike anything I've ever seen before. I spent a great amount of time staring out the windows & taking pictures.
2. Coziness: With the fireplace with huge basket of peat logs & wood, & deep bathroom tub we felt extremely comfortable the whole time. Very cozy!
3. Easy going check in/out: Triona was awesome! We had a change of plans on the last two days and she communicated with us quickly & easily. We never felt stressed.
A couple tips about the area:
1. Arrive in the day, not at night: The location is beautiful & private, but the roads can be stressful to get there (Bumpy, dark, lots of curved roads). It was our first time driving in another country (Opposite side too!) and I regret arriving in the evening as it was very hard to see on the unlit roads.
2. Choose the closest airport: Dublin airport is a far drive (Especially if driving at dark). I would recommend Shannon Airport instead.
3. Bring boots! You will want to wander the hills around the cottage (Amazing views!). It was pretty damp & muddy though.
