My family and I had a great stay at the delightful Eden Cottage.

The purpose of my trip was business, but my husband and I were also traveling with 5 senior citizens -- my parents, 2 aunts and a family friend. While I was guest-lecturing at a nearby university, my husband went surfing at Lahinch and the rest of my family went touring around to see the sights.

I'm picky about where I stay when I travel. Eden Cottage was the perfect home base. The beds and bedrooms were comfortable. There was plenty of space in the common living areas. It had a well stocked kitchen. The views from the front and back doors took my breath away. The hot tub was divine to sink into after a long day, with views of the setting sun out the window. Cows strolled by on the hill behind the house. The most adorable puppy who lived next door came by to visit (we're dog-lovers). It was quiet and peaceful.

Communication with Mark was great. He was responsive to anything we needed. We lost our key near the end of our trip, but this was solved easily and quickly.

All 7 of us were very happy with our stay at Eden Cottage.
