Longford Cottage is an absolutely beautiful, peaceful place to stay. We chose the cottage because it’s centrally located. The farthest you’ll have to travel to the north or south of Ireland is roughly 4 hours. Dublin is only 1 1/2 hours away as is Galway. The cottage itself is very comfortable with plenty of room. It did have a few quirks—the oven was a challenge to figure out (Maeve patiently talked us through) and there were some plumbing issues to be fixed (awaiting the plumber) but nothing that detracted from our enjoyment of the cottage. Maeve is a wonderful hostess who is very responsive to texts/calls. She gave us some spot-on recommendations for dining and places to see. I would definitely love to stay here again !
