This place is just stunning. We arrived when night had already fallen, so we had a wonderful surprise when we pulled back the curtains in the morning--the view was breathtaking. The cottage itself is very tastefully decorated--Hanna obviously has a real eye for interior decoration. Small touches, like plants and ornaments, but also spare toothbrushes and floss, pens and notepaper, maps, postcards, muesli, coffee...I could go on... all add up to make this lovely little house a total joy to stay in. Around the cottage, sheep graze and bunnies leap (really).
We travelled with our toddler (under 2), and Hanna had made sure that stair gates were fitted before we arrived, a cot placed in the children's room, and a highchair was at the table. There were plenty of toys for our little one to play with, too.
The cottage is located very near Castletownbere and close to several other towns and places of interest. There is so much to do--the walks are especially worthwhile.
It's a stunning part of the country, and this is a gorgeous place from which to begin to explore it. You will need a car.
