Rosie and Mike's cottage is gorgeous. We were looking for a quiet vacation and a base location to explore this bit of Ireland, and this cottage was better than we could have imagined. Cozy and warm, we spent time in the sunroom reading, watching horses trot by and looking out over the fields towards the ocean.
Rosie had freshly baked Irish soda bread ready for us, and as soon as we arrived we were given a tour of the property where all the ins-and-outs of the house were explained.
I'm an inexperienced traveler, and Rosie's guidance during our trip was invaluable. She even saw us walking by her house on the way to the pub on a dark night and she ran out to give us safety jackets. We couldn't have lucked into sweeter people.
If you opt to stay with this lovely couple, definitely listen to their advice on where to catch local music sessions. It's nothing like a night of music in a bar in the States, and was easily a highlight of our trip.
We hope to visit with Rosie and Mike again in the coming years. If you luck into a visit in Ardfield with this couple you won't be sorry. It's perfect!
