This cottage sits perched on a craggy hillside surrounded by terraced green fields (complete with sheep, lambs, and a local sheepdog, who put on a show of rounding up the flock for us as we passed by). You fall to sleep to the sound of crashing Atlantic waves. Rocky vistas and beaches abound a short walk away. The cottage is fully modernized without losing its charm. Catahal, our host, showed outstanding communication before, during, and after the stay. In short: the absolutely perfect Irish country experience.
