Patrick was an incredible host offering assistance above and beyond any expectations.
We were entirely charmed by Gortrusheen Cottage. The remote location provides a wonderful respite from city life. The cottage was well appointed. Beds were the best, all the utensils you could ever need for full cooking.
This is a perfect, off the beaten path, place to stay with many sites to visit within minutes. Buy groceries before you get there. It is a bit of a trek to the nearest grocery.
I will emphasize, if you are traveling from out of the country, do not attempt the drive until you have sufficiently acclimated/rested. Daytime driving is recommended if you are not used to the roads in Ireland. This was a first for us and we learned a lot!
I hope to return someday. It was so lovely.
