Our hostess sent us some great directions via the scenic route along "Goats Path" which we found very humorous and then her phone number so we could call when we got close. She met us in town so we could follow her to the property, got us oriented to the place, left us fresh milk in the fridge for our coffee or tea and then left us alone, with her phone number in case we should need anything. She was friendly, funny and thorough. The Black Gate Loft is a bit out of "town" and right on several lovely walking paths in the area. It has a washer and dryer, which was great as we had been almost three weeks in Ireland, and it was nice to be able to wash and dry our clothing. The unit has a small kitchen with everything you might need to prepare meals. It also has a cozy living room with a pellet stove, which is a bit "fritzy" so it should be made workable. But there were heaters in each room so we were very cozy. It was a clean, cozy, quiet place to enjoy Ireland and the bedroom has a magnificent view. As a word of caution, food in the town of Kilcrohane is limited, so bring what you need for breakfast and/or lunch. There is a reasonable cafe in town for dinner, but other wise it is between a 10 and 30m minute drive for groceries and breakfast because nothing close was open in the morning.
