Cecilia's cottage was everything we needed for our last couple of nights in Ireland - cozy, quiet, easy to find, and with the most comfortable bed (by far) of our whole trip! She was quick to respond to all my messages and had excellent recommendations for the area.
We enjoyed waking up and walking outside to incredible mountain views (we had no idea what awaited us, since we arrived in the dark the night before!). Cecilia had baked homemade scones and left us with tea, coffee, butter, jam, and milk. We absolutely loved the fireplace, the cozy blankets, and the shelf of books. It was nice to not have a tv, and read books and talk by the fire instead.
There were lots of lovely, thoughtful touches, like fresh flowers, cute dishes, and a fire all set to go (with instructions on where to find more wood to keep it going). We very much appreciated the washing machine and the chance to clean our clothes after a long week traveling. We are used to our own setup at home just like Cecilia's, with a washing machine, but no dryer, so we had no problem cleaning our clothes and using her drying rack.
It was easy to feel at home in the Thatched Cottage. We loved the ability to turn switches off and on to help save energy, and all the needed instructions for how to do everything was written out for us.
Thanks so much, Cecilia. We hope to return!
P.S. We spent our time exploring the Dingle Peninsula and Slea Head Drive. It was absolutely breathtaking and exceeded all our expectations! A lovely last dinner at the Benner's Hotel in Dingle (highly recommend, especially since it was one of the only places open for dinner on a Tuesday night late November, and the food was REALLY good) was the perfect way to end our trip.
