Pat &Maura’s cottage is great. If you want to feel like you are living in the Irish country side then this is a good way to do it. You need a car if you are staying here.
The cottage is great and cozy, there is hot water, fully functioning kitchen, and cozy beds. The dining table is right next to a window and a great spot to have breakfast.
I was greeted by Pat who should the ins and outs of the place. He was nice enough to bring me some muffins and jam as well.
There is a gas station about a quarter of a mile away that has essentially a supermarket in it. You can find all the essentials there. I bought breakfast items and fruit there.
The cottage is just outside of Kildimo which is a tiny village. There is one pub (Slattery’s) which serves a great pint of Guinness for about 4 euros. You can meet and talk to a lot of the friendly locals. If you are like Ke and need the after pub food fix there is a great Kabob place across the street to fulfill a midnight craving.
The town of Adare is about 15 minutes away, the Cliffs of Moher are about an 1:20 away from here, Foynes is about 25 minutes, and the Ferry at Tarbert where the ferry crossing is about 50 minutes. Get use to narrow roads. Great experience and great place to stay.
