We just loved Orla's cottage. Loads of personality, excellently equipped and a massive (half acre) garden. It is also very private and the garden is excellently maintained by her neighbour, whom we had the pleasure to meet. It is located very near the village of Avoca (Ballykissangel to those who remember the series on BBC TV). Orla gave us a very friendly welcome and great advice on where to go and where to dine. If you get withdrawal symptoms for the city, then the bustling town of Arklow is only 10 minutes drive away. If beaches are your thing then Brittas Bay is only a few miles away. Certainly, most excellent value for money.
