Perfect place to stay while traveling Ireland! We used the Blacksmith Cottage as our hub for traveling to Kinsale, Cobh, Cork, Killarney & Waterford. There is a lovely hiking trail area nearby where the views are breathtaking! The hosts, Emily & John, were the best! We had everything we needed while there...it was just like being at home. There was coffee, eggs, milk, juice fruit, bread, butter & jam for us to enjoy. There was TV for those lazy evenings or mornings, as well as badmitten racquets to play around. The grounds were gorgeous. There black lab was so excited when anyone would come and play fetch. Would definitely stay there again if returning to Ireland!!
