Mary's property was perfectly situated off the beaten track and yet a short drive to a SuperValu and a Costcutters petrol station selling petrol a couple of cents cheaper than all the stations I passed returning to Dublin.
The house is a good size for a group of people but as there was only three of us including an infant we never got to appreciate that. It is a comfortable house with WiFi though the phone signal in the area can be patchy.
Mary had set up a cot in our room which was appreciated as we like to know when the infant comes in at night. There was also a high chair proved too. My daughter was fascinated by the calves that grazed in the field behind the house. Every morning she had to go to the fence and watch them.
There is an open fire in the front room with logs provided but we never got to light it. FYI there is a metal bucket in the utility for the ash.
There are plenty of information booklets provided for things to see in the vicinity. I'd recommend Hook Head Lighthouse and Bannon Island Beach. We had some miserable weather so we did a lot of sight seeing from the car. We went in October so it wasn't crazy with tourists.
Mary was very quick answering to questions on WhatsApp.
Overall is a great place.
Thanks Mary
