Truly a magical place! The cottage is an Irish country home, not just a place to rest your head for a few days. We learned that the cottage is listed on the national registry as a historical thatched roof home (one of a limited number in the whole country of Ireland). We took a week's worth of day trips in County Kerry and County Claire from the cottage's central location. Day Trips to: Scattery Island , Cliffs of Moher, The Burren (all easily accessible by taking the Tarbert Ferry which is a short drive from the cottage), Killarney (Ross castle & the Gap of Dunloe), Dingle, Adare, Abbeyfeale, and the Limerick Greenway. We ran out of time to see all the other sights within a 1 - 2 drive from the cottage. If you rather escape the busy world, this place is also perfect. You could spend your days just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful scenery (2 horses in the field, the flowers and the River Shannon in the distance). Liam and Catherine are extremely responsive and gracious hosts. Communications were clear and quick. Totally recommended this place if you like being out in the countryside away from the hustle of city life.
