We stayed at Ash Cottage for 2 nights on a recent family trip to Ireland. Ash Cottage is beautiful in the photos and even lovelier in real life. It's about a 10 min drive to Newcastle West which had shops and restaurants. The kitchen is fully equipped so we were able to buy some groceries and do a bit of cooking as well as eat out in local spots. When we arrived there were some snacks, milk, tea and coffee. The beds and linens were lovely and the shower had hot water and great water pressure. Check in was simple and communication with Tom and Aoife was easy. Tom stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend Ash Cottage if you are travelling in the area!
