It was evening time when we started our way to Ardcath & had a bit of trouble finding the place. We contacted Colm last minute (our fault) but he was responsive & gave us easy directions from wherever we were. It's a bit chilly at night which was expected in Ireland during Octoberfest... Colm was nice enough to provide a basket of lumber for the wood oven fireplace. He also left a loaf of cake that went well with the tea we would make in the kitchen daily. It was fun making fires once we came home after a day of exploring:) There was an additional electric heater provided which was nice. The shower/bathroom is a tad awkward (it's split into 2 little rooms in the back of the barn next to the kitchen) but there was running hot water & a flush-toilet which was all that mattered. The bed up on the loft was cozy & once we got the fire going the whole placed warmed up quickly. We got to meet Colm right before we left early morning & gave us a sweet send off. Overall we enjoyed the rustic feel & loved our stay.
