We were arriving later than planned so the key was left for us and a contact person if needed. We never did meet anyone but that was fine. The contact neighbor did come over twice to visit us but we were not there. We loved everything about our stay, even the weather which was raining and cloudy! It was an adventure. The little store/pub in Cross was great. We bought some extra coal and turf for our fire and dried our clothes. We had a wonderful breakfast in front of the fireplace. It is quiet and a real Irish experience. It took me back to what I would assume was typical in Ireland years ago. The Stone Cottage is beautifully decorated and appointed.
