I just returned from a 9 day trip to Ireland and spent 3 nights at Elizabeth's cottage. The cottage is lovely, warm and cosy as we hoped it would be. We arrived in the early evening to a fire that Elizabeth started for us and she provided us with homemade scones and jam for breakfast the next morning. She had a wealth of information on restaurants and things to do in the area. We couldn't have asked for a better host.

While in Co Clare we took a 3 hour on the Cliffs of Moher Costal walking trail and bypassed the main visitor center - too touristy and lots of people. Access to the trail isn't far from the cottage. We also drove through the Burren and visited the perfumery and chocolate factory; not to be missed! There are so many things to do in the area and we would have loved just relaxing at the cottage watching the cows in the pasture in front of the house. Next time we'll have to stay longer.

We enjoyed dinners at Vaughan's Pub in Liscannor, Roadford Restaurant in Doolin, and Linnanes Bar in New Quay. We had a great lunch at the Stonecutter's Kitchen. There's great traditional Irish music in Doolin. We went to McDermott's Pub in Doolin after dinner at the Roadford Restaurant. Enjoy your trip!
