Our weekend at the cottage was exactly what we needed after being stuck in the city for months, the views are spectacular and you can see that John and Sinead have put a lot of time and thought into the layout of their cottage and its surrounds. The proximity to the lake for swimming was brilliant but would recommend bringing some waterproof shoes as the walk in can be slippy and rocky. The Shebeen and converted barn space with fire pit were both brilliant for relaxing by the fire after a BBQ with a view and a few drinks in the evening. The quirky decor and well-planned spots for relaxing alone and also gathering as a group made for a really successful group trip. The pet pig Paddy was an absolute legend and total highlight! Local attractions include the Knights & Conquests Heritage Centre in Granard - well worth a visit.
