The cottage is very nice, comfortable, and nestled in a wonderfully peaceful and quiet area. Better yet, you'll receive a warm welcome from a great host who genuinely wants you to enjoy your stay. If you like to cook, you'll benefit from a full range of appliances and kitchen ware all in great condition. Plenty of cafes, restaurants, pubs, food stores, and history in the nearby charming towns. You're also an easy drive from the southern peninsulas and other "must visit" parts of Ireland, including the Cliffs of Moher (and do visit the donkey sanctuary just south in Liscarroll!). This listing gets a "much better than expected" rating mainly because of the wonderful hosts. Dermot and his wife, Kate, are simply delightful and if you're lucky enough to get to know them a bit, it will make your stay all the more memorable. Highly recommended.
