The house is very well located, near a huge beach- Streedagh- that will impress everyone. The remains of a Spanish Armada are stuck in the sand there. It's also very close to the village with a nice playground and an equally nice pub. Careful when walking though as this is part of the Wild Atlantic Way, which means you're walking on the highway. If you're into sheepdogging, you can see a demonstration (which isn't that exciting) nearby. Horses can be ridden and there's that ominous Benbulben lurking on the horizon at all times.
Mary is a very sweet woman who looked after us like family. She took great care to come get us when I had trouble finding her house and stocked some essentials in the kitchen like milk and fruit and bread. My daughters had their choice of some of Mary's grandkids toys too. The place itself is cozy and comfortable with all the creature comforts and a grassy lawn to roll around. I highly recommend this little yellow cottage and will definitely return for a longer stint.
