James made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The cottage was very well fitted-out, with a powerful shower and new furniture and TV since the photos were taken. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need. The cottage was very warm and dry, even in the wettest winter on record! We particularly enjoyed the fire. The internet was very fast and the table was nice and big for anyone looking to work/write in lovely surrounds. The views of the lough from the hill on which the cottage sits are beautiful front and back, and the jetty to Holy Island is a very short (4 minute) stroll down a hill.
Mountshannon village has a lot to offer, even out of season, and James's recommendations were very helpful.
