This cottage has so much character & warmth about it from start to finish.
Catherine has left out a picture book that shows all the renovations that took place to bring it to its current condition. It has had an extension added on which creates so much more space for people to stay while still maintaining that 'old world' feel which so many of us love. Lots of items such as old torches are carefully displayed on window ledges to add further character to this home.
The open plan kitchen, dining areas & sitting room give a feeling of openness, with all mod cons needed, while not losing the cosy cottage feel.
Catherine's thoughtful touches of leaving out some essentials such as brown bread & milk, along with the bed socks & hot water bottles also did not go unnoticed!
This cottage is a total gem in the heart of Roscommon. I had a lovely relaxing time with my mother & explored Strokestown House & its famine museum as well as take some really pleasant strolls up the country lanes.
I'd highly recommend this haven, which promotes a real sense of 'Irishness' with Catherine's pieces of art & music, combined with some quirky & arty twists in terms of decoration.
