My daughter and I had such a lovely stay at Kilrateera Cottage, and we highly recommend it to anyone wanting a peaceful, secluded retreat to rest and relax. Greg was the consummate host and concierge, and the amenities were five star! We were able to do cross-country horseback riding, the Cliffs of Moher and the Aran Islands--all easy daytrips from there, and we loved returning to our cozy little hidden cottage to enjoy tea by the fire burning stove. There are cute little towns closeby, and we especially enjoyed pizza and tapas at "The Snug" which Greg had recommended. Because the days were long this time of year, we were able to sightsee and still have time to hang out with the chickens, stroll the vegetable gardens (Annie's virtual farm), and play fetch with Willow, the sweetest dog ever! I have to thank Greg and Annie for greeting us upon our arrival (even though it was late) and for sharing their delicious homemade falafels and current cordials with us since we missed dinner, all made from their homegrown beans and berries-YUM. The cottage came stocked with a loaf of fresh brown bread, the best homemade raspberry/current jam, Irish butter, coffee, tea and milk. We also had fresh eggs daily, and were able to make wonderful omelettes with the delicious cheese Greg gave us from France. It was just dreamy, not to mention the modern comforts and cozy comforters we slept in. Everything was sparkling clean and for us, it was just a perfect little getaway. One note: Be sure to plug in and store "Greg+Annie, Kilrateera, Mountshannon,Co. Clare, Ireland" in Google Maps for the easiest way to get to/from there as this hideaway is certainly off the beaten path. Thank you Greg and Annie! It was such a pleasure meeting you both (such a cute couple) and Willow during our short time spent at Kilrateera cottage. We have wonderful memories to share, and we hope to return again someday soon...
