The Stone Cottage is exactly as advertised. It’s cozy and well-appointed. The weather was usually cold while we were there, but Pat had a fire ready to go for us each evening and the cottage stayed warm enough. The area is full of natural beauty and had the weather cooperated, we’d have loved to spend time walking through the countryside and in and out of the small towns. Unfortunately it was cold and very rainy while we were there and we did struggle a bit to keep our two-year-old entertained for three days. Waterford is a good-sized town and about an hour away. We also liked Lismore.
Pat and Gertie are great hosts. They were there to greet us and give us a walkthrough of the cottage. Pat was happy to show our toddler the chicken coop each morning and gave us some incredible fresh eggs to cook for breakfast. Gertie had a delicious cake waiting for us on arrival.
If the weather had been better, our days at the cottage may have been the highlight of our trip.
