I stayed at the Druid Cottage for six nights and I really liked it. Unfortunately, Steph wasn't there during the stay and I was really looking forward to meeting her!! Still, her friend Sioban came over to welcome me at the cottage and help me with 'Betty' (the stove) and she also came by to see me off at my last day. We talked a lot during those visits and she also checked on me every now and then via SMS and asked if I needed anything. Since the communication with Steph was just as pleasant, I am guessing she would have done the same thing!! Hopefully, I am going to meet her next time... ;-) A fact that I also liked very much were that Steph's cats kept me company in the evenings. They are so cute!! Although, I would have appreciated it if they were better at hunting spiders. ;-D All in all I can say that I had an amazing time at the cottage all by myself and I also really liked the location since you can reach so many beautiful places in a really short time (Ennis, Galway, Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands, Lough Derg, etc.). I can only recommend this cottage to everyone who loves nature and the simple life!
