On arrival we had a warm welcome by Hannes and his wife, and their wonderful dog Easter, who immediately got our friend! The cottage is simply gorgeous, with great furnishings, good kitchen, tastefully selected pictures on the walls, and of course the fireplace that makes it so extremely cosy! It almost feels like in a hobbit's cave :-) You even have detailed Ordnance Survey maps of the surroundings, as well as a small collection of Irish music CDs which you can listen to via the little stereo. Next to the cottage there's the main house where the hosts live - they are very friendly people and it's up to you if you make much contact with them or prefer to stay in the cottage just for yourself. On the last night, Hannes gave us a hint about an Irish music festival in a village nearby - that was a great recommendation, because we attended a really good under-the-skin performance of a singer in a pub (Anna Mitchell), and Hannes even lent me his violin so that I could spontaneously join a fiddle workshop on that festival!
Overall, we loved this place!
