We had the most wonderful stay at Gertie and Pat's. The cottage is so romantic and cosy and has everything you could possibly need.
We arrived really late at night (much in need of a break) and the fire had been lit, a freshly made coffee cake was on the counter and the electric blanket had been turned on. It was such a lovely welcome.
Breakfast was sublime. Gertie is a superb cook and each morning we feasted on home-made preserves, baked goods, whisky porridge, buttermilk pancakes with local bacon and omelettes made with fresh herbs from the garden. It was better than any breakfast we've ever had in a five star hotel.
But the best part was Gertie and Pat's warmth and friendliness - all delivered with a glint of humour and mischief.
This really is Irish hospitality at its best!
