There is a reason why I love Ireland so much. It isn't just because the countryside is as beautiful as anywhere I have been on earth. It isn't just because of the incredibly rich heritage and historical sites that stimulate contemplation of our place in history. It isn't just because they have the best tasting beer on the planet. It is simply because in such a beautiful place we continue to be amazed by the friendly and inviting nature of the people we come in contact with there. The Irish are incredibly welcoming. And it is in that context that I get to say I have met no one more welcoming than Myra and her husband (sorry forgot his name!). They are incredibly accommodating and gracious hosts! Want to feel like you matter and are a favored long lost cousin.....stay at the Courtyard Cottages. Myra paid particular attention to make sure my 85 year old mother-in-law was comfortable and cared for. Thank you so much for such attention Myra!

The cottage was quaint, sizable, with a great fireplace, easy access (a little hard to find at first), comfortable beds, great hot water, and lots of light.

Our hosts were lots of help with suggesting restaurants and touring routes, as well.

It was a great pleasure to stay at the Courtyard Cottages!
