Kate's beachfront cottage was a little slice of Irish coast heaven. The location was simply stunning - with gorgeous views of the ocean, a great beach, and located right next to a fantastic pub/restaurant called the "Beach Bar." Make sure to check out the surf lessons from Andy at the Beach Bar (we did them even in March - he has great equipment). Also there are great walks/hikes right out of the door.

Kate was a responsive host, helping us with directions to the cottage (note it's a bit tricky, but well worth it) and helping us with various other questions.

The cottage itself had more than enough room to fit my wife, mother-in-law and two children (3 and 2). It also had most of the necessary provisions (although make sure to hit the grocery store before arriving to save the hassle of restocking your firewood, drinking water and other provisions).

I would only note that the house could use some updating, perhaps a bit more of a cleaning. Probably difficult due to its remote location. Also the wifi is suitable for emails but pretty limited for much else. This can be a drawback since there is no phone or other means of communication (but again, not a big deal).

All in all a great spot! Thanks Kate.
