The cottage is breathtakingly beautiful. Colm was very thoughtful and accommodating during our entire stay. Upon our arrival there was a fire burning in the wood stove, fresh bread and butter on the table and serene music playing softly. We were tired and jet lagged after a day of travel and were pleasantly surprised to find a hot water bottle under the blankets making the bed warm and cozy when we got in. The grounds of the cottage are exquisite, with the ruins of a 12th century church just steps from the front door. We were very happy that we chose to stay a bit outside of the city so we could experience the countryside during our stay and travel to various cities as well. My boyfriend proposed during our stay so Crow's Hermitage will always hold a special place in our hearts.
