Maria is very personable and was quick to respond to all of our communications. We enjoyed meeting her and appreciated her suggestions on things to do in the area. The adjacent cafe has very good food and treats. Kate Kearney's cottage across the way is a fun place to spend an evening with good food and live entertainment. The cottage is an excellent location for visiting the Gap of Dunloe by jaunting car or by foot. One of the bedrooms has a bed that wasn't the most comfortable and a skylight without a shade that brought light in with the early sunrise but the two other bedrooms were great. We enjoyed our stay and feel comfortable recommending Maria's cottage.
