My sister and I had a four night stay on this lovely property and would highly recommend it! The surroundings were peaceful and beautiful. The amenities in the cabin were exactly as advertised and we wanted for nothing. It was a perfect area as a base to wander around the western part of Ireland. The highlight of the stay were Katie, Richard and the four legged companions who call Birch Cottage home. Whether it was Daisy and Toby greeting us in the morning, Chewie wondering around the back deck or Frank and Bob's quiet presence, they definitely added ambience to the environment. As for Katie and Richard, I cannot say enough about their hospitality! They immediately made us feel like friends not strangers. Katie spoiled us a bit with her wonderful treats and when it was time to leave neither of us wanted to go! Thank you both so much for a wonderful time in Mayo Co.
