I had a wonderful stay at Wendy’s place. It’s a secluded cottage in the mountains, a good way from civilisation. You need transport to get there. I was cycling, and it was about 2-3 hours cycle with a fully loaded bike from either carrick on Shannon or Sligo train stations.
The cottage has everything you need for a stay, a kitchen full of all the necessary equipment and plenty of condiments and spices etc.
In mid winter the house was chilly enough, but there is central heating as needed, stoves and an electric blanket on the bed.
The house is close to the miners way, which is a multi day hike. Over 2 days I did 2 sections of the hike in different directions and looping back, which was great. Forests, and hiking right under the wind turbines, which was interesting. Highly recommended.
Be aware that I couldn’t get the internet to work in the house at all, not even a little, and there is also no phone signal in the house either. It made it a bit difficult speaking to my family over Xmas and researching info on hiking trails etc, so best to do research in advance. However for emergencies you can walk up the hill to get signal.
I also couldn’t get the satellite TV to work. The local host was very kind to bring some dvds though, which was great.
There are jigsaws and plenty of books.
Loved staying at Wendy’s. I’ll go back.
