If you're looking for a rustic experience in a traditional Irish cottage, then this is the place. We loved the simplicity of the cottage, with all the original decor and facilities, but if you are hoping for traditional with a modern interior than you may be disappointed. The central heating only works off the back boiler when the fire is lit, so you will need to make sure that you keep on top of it - it's worth it when you do. There are portable heaters in every room too which help. There are lots of helpful books and a selection of DVD's to choose from which was a nice touch. A wonderful place to get away from it all. PS: you don't need to travel far for good beaches - there is a fabulous one just down at the end of the hill.
