Allaye and her charming cottage were a delight. Situated in the Irish countryside, her elegant home is surrounded by lush forest, complete with a trickling stream and baaing sheep. We actually stayed in the not-yet-listed cow shed, but don’t let the name fool you (although the story of its rebirth from housing cows to people is worth hearing whether you can stay there or not). Even though the shed was not yet finished, it was already enchanting with a full bathroom and loft with a view of the field and stars. Allaye provides breakfast, which no one should ever skip, but also has the option for a cooked dinner for a small extra fee. Dinner was a steal in our minds, not only in quantity but more important quality, as she is an excellent cook and pastry chef to accompany her conversational skills. My only other recommendation to future bookers is to follow her detailed directions and not a GPS as she is in a more rural than other listings and it seems some get lost but we found it on the first try with no troubles. Although even if you do get lost, once you get there you will find the journey worthwhile.
