We absolutely loved our two-night stay at the Old Schoolhouse Cottage. Wish we could have stayed longer. Lorraine had so many special touches...eggs, bacon, snacks, fresh flowers. We had two children with us and worried somewhat about the steps going upstairs but the kids did fantastic. The deck up behind the cottage was a wonderful place to have our morning coffee and take in the glorious countryside.
Being from the US, we were unfamiliar with the water heating system for the upstairs shower. However, Lorraine had fantastic instructions. Just take the time to read them. Her notes here and there were most helpful. She also provided places in the area to visit which was helpful.
We are use to having a top sheet on the beds but this is not the custom in Ireland. Although Lorraine provided wash cloths for bathing, most Ireland hosts did not.
