I read every single review on this place, and since I didn’t see a single negative thing, I booked it for our week-long trip to Ireland. I don’t have a single negative thing to say, either! The cottage is so well designed and Colm has done a wonderful job making sure it is comfortable and has everything you need. He provided fresh cream and fruitcake, and the kitchen was stocked with all the necessities to make a few meals while we were there (pans, utensils, spices, oils, coffee). We loved the tiny town of Ardcath and visiting the pub across the street every night. All the locals were welcoming and kind. The cottage is in the perfect place for taking yourself on day tours around eastern Ireland, or for driving down to Dublin to link up with any of the longer day tours by bus or rail. Colm also provides lots of resources, guides, and maps, and he was available if we had questions. We tend to not visit the same place twice, but we are already talking about how we can make a second trip to this place happen. It was amazing!
