My family of five had a wonderful time at the Back of the Beyond. Of all the places we have been in Ireland, this was the most difficult to leave. This cottage is not luxurious, so if that's what you are looking for, you might want to rethink it. If you are looking for peace, if you are looking for astonishing natural beauty, if you are looking for a place your children can play and explore safely for hours, this is your place.
The cottage is cozy and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen had all we needed to cook daily meals. We are a very active, nature loving family. This place was perfect. We went for walks for hours at a time without seeing other people. I loved waking up hours before my family and taking walks alone in quiet solitude. The beauty of the place was truly restorative for me. My children made friends with the animals they encountered. It felt to me like heaven. My daughter cried when it was time to leave and she is a teenager, so that's saying something.
If you are bothered by a few bugs or want the most modern accommodation, this won't be your place. If you'd like to lose yourself in nature and truly unplug, I don't think you can find a better place.
