Pat's cottage is very picturesque and quaint. We did not meet Maura, but Pat was very friendly and accommodating. Being nearby, he was quickly able to address the issue we had with the water heater. There was also tea and homemade treats when we arrived! The shower is very small and the ladder to the loft is steep - not for the handicapped or oversized traveler. There is no store or food to be reached on foot, but very close by car! This was a perfect base for seeing Limerick & multiple day trips - simply lovely to come home to. We recommend this lodging wholeheartedly.
