Cosy for certain, and charm to spare.

Excepting the modern amenities and decor, you'd swear you just stepped back 100 years. There's even a ruined house on the property behind, guarded by forbidding gooseberry canes.

Around the bend is a stunning view of the harbour, and drives to the adorable hamlets all around are mere minutes away, all bearing their own particular vestiges of Ireland's history.

We only had use for one of the beds, but this cottage easily accommodates a half-dozen (or more) people. Children and teens would especially love the loft accessible only by a wooden ladder.

This is a fantastic cottage for any traveler who wants to "feel Irish" and experience a portion of what their ancestors might have.
