Our stay at Ryan’s Cottage was one of the highlights of our trip. It’s a beautiful, one-of-a-kind location that feels rustic, modern and homey in all the best ways possible. Jude is a kind and wonderful host who fully embraces the philosophy of mi casa es su casa. And her dog, Nellie, is adorable beyond belief. If our travels ever take us back to Ireland, we will want to spend more time exploring the rugged beauty of County Clare, and I can think of no better place than to stay with Jude and Nellie.
