Michele was a fantastic hostess. Check-in was so convenient. Michele went out of her way to show us the local town and a “behind the scenes” look at Ashford Castle. The cottage is lovely with all the amenities you need. Very convenient to Cong, Cross and Ashford Castle. We also took a drive to Connemara and visited Kylemore Abbey which was beautiful and worth the 50 minute drive. It was great to come “home” each night to the cottage. We even got to feed the donkey and pony in the yard. Michele made our check out simple and convenient for us. Would highly recommend staying here to experience western Ireland.
