Druid Cottage is a wonderful haven for anyone seeking some peace and quiet from the busy day-to-day life. Stephanie was a wonderful host and she had the fire lit for us when we arrived on a dark and stormy night - it felt a little bit like a fairy tale! Steph's cottage is super-comfy, with the wonderful loft-bedroom (which I totally fell in love with - now I want one, too!) and the surprisingly efficient little stove. It's a great place to practise some music, too, (we had brought our flutes) and the area is abundant with opportunities to go for a stroll, wander or hike. We went for a hike on part of the East Clare Way and got to see wedge-tombs, forrests and little streams and the other day we drove out to Loch Derg and hiked up Moylussa mountain which gave us great views of the area (despite the rainy day). After a really stressful week Druid Cottage and Steph's warm welcome was just what I needed. We'll definitely be back!
