Michael is a fantastic host and we loved the cottage. Michael was very accommodating and fast to respond. He took time to make sure we were settled and comfortable. I highly recommend this cottage, especially if the goal is to stay outside the touristy downtown area. This place likely works best for people with a rental car like we had. I doubt there is much public transit to this area, although I cannot I don't know for sure. Stay here if you want an authentic Ireland experience.
