We loved staying at the cottage! Elaine is super nice and communicative. We drove from Dublin, and she gave us some tips of where to stop along the way, and she also came to meet us once we arrived and showed us some of the tricks of the house (even with that, we couldn’t get the temperature right of one of the showers—always too hot or too cold—but I’m sure if we had asked, Elaine would have responded promptly with what we were doing wrong! Only two of us stayed here, so we didn’t need two showers). The house is very picturesque (I got a “cottages of Ireland” postcard that has a nearly identical house on it), and we enjoyed eating breakfast outside and seeing the sheep in the distance (there weren’t any sheep when we were there in the field right next to the house). We didn’t feel comfortable walking to the local Beaufort bars along the narrow roads with cars, but it was a 3 minute drive to them, a 15 minute drive into Killarney, and a 5-8 minute drive to Kate Kearney’s cottage and the Gap of Dunloe.
