stayed at the cottage for a girls trip on a cold January weekend. We arrived on Friday evening to be greeted by Simon with fuel for the fire which he kindly lit for us before giving us a run down on the cottage and the area.
The cottage is 200 years old and it retains it's historical rustic charm with many original features. It stayed warm and cosy on those cold January nights. Late Saturday afternoon, Simon returned to the house to take us on a dusk lit boat tour of some of the surrounding Islands on Lough Key. This was a bonus that we didn't expect and it was the highlight of our weekend. Simon has a laid back nature and made us feel welcome and comfortable. I read a review that said "if you're expecting The Ritz, this isn't for you", i agree, but if you're looking for laid back, cosy with beautiful scenery and surroundings and a host that is more than willing to go above and beyond for his guests, then myself and my friends highly recommend a visit.
One area for improvement we felt, would be an upgrade to the shower, perhaps an electric shower would better suit as the house can sleep up to 8 people. Apart from that, we enjoyed every minute of our weekend.
