We were greeted with a warm welcome from Ita, who told us the history of the cottage. She also left a delicious apple pie in the kitchen which went down well with everyone.
The Cozy cottage is just that and is a perfect place to stay while exploring the Loophead and The Wild Atlantic Way.
Everything we needed to make our stay amazing was already in place in this beautiful traditional cottage. Including, toys for the children, a washing machine and dryer and excellent wifi offering most channels. Plenty of pillows, cosy blankets and lots of towels were also available.
Most importantly, the beds were also extremely comfortable.
We had views of the estuary from both back and front doors. The outdoor area was a great place for the children to play out and for us to relax in the warm autumnal sun.
A two minute walk to the shore was a great way start to everyday and an evening stroll across the bridge along to the beach was a nice way to end our day. We were lucky enough to be able to watch the sunset most nights.
The living room was a perfect oasis to relax at night in front of the warm stove/ log burner, with plenty of turf provided by the owner. The street where the cottage is situated has two pubs, where we found a warm welcome, there is also a popular restaurant called the Long Dock. One of the pubs actually doubles up as a local shop where you can get most items.
My husband quickly became a local in one of the pubs as well as learning how to fish of the pier and catching his very first fish, which he was immensely pleased with!
We will definitely be returning to the Cozy Cottage soon. Thanks Ita and Pat! Super Hosts.
