Thomas and Rita's place was very spacious and cozy. The cottage had everything we needed (a full kitchen, washing machine, iron/ironing board, hair dryer, TV, etc) and was comfortable. We loved the history behind the cottage and the surrounding are was gorgeous (but to be honest, what part of Ireland isn't gorgeous? ;) ). All that being said, the #1 best part of staying at Thomas and Rita's place is that they were so helpful and hospitable! They turned the heater and lights on prior to us arriving and had fire wood ready in case we wanted to build a fire. They gave us great tips of things to do in the area as well as gave us a little insight on the history of the area. Throughout our time in Ireland, my husband and I were so impressed with how friendly and helpful all the locals were and Thomas and Rita were definitely no exception!
