This cottage is situated close to Kildaire village but it feels like it's miles away, as it backs up to the stables and overlooks sheep dotted plains. The cottage is furnished in very thoughtful ways. There are several places to sit and relax and to set out a meal (kitchen, solarium, dining table). Eight of us walked right in and found everything we needed for a comfortable stay. There was particularly good hot water upstairs in the master bedroom, as it has its own dedicated water heater for its large tub and hand shower. The children enjoyed the large rear garden for croquet and other activities. When the cottage gate controller needed a new battery, Charlie was there quickly with a new replacement unit. We all agreed that we would stay here again in a heartbeat.
