It was a beautiful little cottage. Just what we needed. The heating system was a little new to us, but we figured it out and Barbara was very responsive to our questions. It is a wood or coal burning stove that heats the water and the radiators so it takes a few hours to really get it going on a cold day. But she has electric radiators in each room as a backup. These stoves are common in Ireland as we found out.
The Skerries are beautiful, even on a cold wet day in March. And the little town is quaint and perfect. The cottage has a large green pasture behind with a view of the neighbor's horses. Lovely milk butter and fresh baked bread available for us upon arrival. It was a lovely touch. We would stay there again.
