We adored the Seaside Cottage. It is even nicer than the descriptions. Loved the peat stoves, which kept everything warm and cozy. Loved the location, with cows next door and very short walk to stunning ocean-side walks and sunset views. Olive's brown bread was the best we had in Ireland. Getting to know Olive was a real treat. She shared a lot about growing up in Ireland, and gave us a window into life in the area. She also gave us great advice about slowing down and doing fewer things in more depth, rather than being always on the go and skimming over the surface by trying to take on too much. As a result we stayed more local, and really enjoyed exploring the local area.
Olive provided a warm welcome and a warm fire. She even offered to come in and set a fire for us should we be gone all day and back late. The kitchen was well equipped for our purposes, and we ate in every night. The loft was easily accessed by the sturdy ladder, and high enough in the middle to stand up straight. The shower was great, with ample hot water and good pressure.
There were many books about the local area in the cottage, and many more books in the next door library, where we had good WIFI access.
