Aunt Bridgie's Cottage was perfect! Everything we needed was there, including even incense sticks! The accommodation was spotlessly clean with very comfortable beds and lovely fresh bed linen. The kitchen area was compact but everything you could possibly need was there. We loved the sitting room which was so cosy and the owners kept us stocked up on wood for the fire. There was a small outdoor area which was ideal for barbecuing.
Amy made us feel so welcome when we arrived - as did Hamish her trusty assistant! Our boys loved playing with Hamish. Amy had lovely scones and jam ready for us and had put milk, butter, tea and coffee out for us. During the week we had some lovely chats with her dad, Tom, who very kindly gave us some delicious salad and rhubarb from his wonderful garden. We also had the pleasure of meeting Kathy and we couldn't have wished for friendlier or more obliging hosts.
In terms of location it was ideal for exploring Mayo and one big plus is that it is directly across from the greenway. We had a wonderful week in Mayo and would love to go back again and ideally stay in Auntie Bridgie's cottage. We can't rate the whole experience highly enough. Thanks again to the Ryder family - who by the way are related to none other than Grace Kelly!! We wish them all the best in the future.
