We booked last minute and Elspeth was away but did everything in her power to make us feel welcome and at ease even before our departure. She gave us directions, had the heat on, left firelogs and fresh home-baked bread too!
Inistiogue is the most picturesque village (setting for Circle of Friends) with a great pub and café -I was almost sorry we'd brought down so much food of our own so we didn't eat there, it looked so tasty. We went out to Kilkenny City for the day, walked around the castle grounds, shopped in super-cool Folkster and had a great giggle there in a pub there too!
The cottage is very cute, the interior photos don't do it justice imo. We felt right at home the second we stepped inside the door, so cosy with the real fire :)
