Catherine and Ian’s place is what I would call a quintessential Irish cottage. Lovely yard with lots of green grass. Some cows grazing in the pasture adjacent. Picture perfect rural setting. At the same time, it was only 10 minutes into Ballina, so quite convenient for us, and the amenities inside the cottage were fully modern, including very convenient washer and dryer, dishwasher, and some extra accessories for our toddler, which was fantastic. We attended a wedding in Belleek castle, which I would recommend visiting if you don’t already have a reason to go. Would recommend Catherine and Ian’s place to anyone looking for a nice fully equipped house for a couple or small family.
