What a find! This beautiful cottage is obviously cherished by the family and it was lovely to hear just a few of the stories when we were given the check in tour by Gordon. Whilst steeped in history, the cottage also has all the mod cons that you are used to. The facilities are exactly as described and all COVID regulations are strictly adhered to. Because of the weather we unfortunately didn’t get using the terraced and bbq area however we did use the fire and that was so cosy.
We found the location to be just perfect for us. It was central to Killarney, Limerick and Cork city and there are so many attractions to visit within 1 hr drive. We also travelled to Bantry Bay and if you wanted to get up and leave earlier than us then you could have gone even further afield. But beware - the cottage is so welcoming that you will want to maximise the time you spend in it. We definitely found this to be the case so we didn’t leave until around 11am each day and returned no later than 7pm. In these uncertain times we found it easy to shop in the town. We also ate out every day - many restaurants do drop ins but we tried to book ahead just to be sure. I really hope that we can visit again and get to have a proper chat with Desmond and Melanie at ‘the big house’.
