My family of four stayed for one month at Bluebell mid November to mid December. Firstly, the cottage is so comfortable and warm. There are many small touches throughout the cottage that really make it feel like home. Coming from California, we were afraid it would be cold and drafty in our Irish rentals. But Bluebell was always so warm and cozy! The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook at home and the pantry had what we needed from day one. It is probably the best stocked pantry we have ever come across in all our travels. Lots of small but much appreciated touches throughout such as a large smart tv, warm flooring, master bedroom with its own bathroom, and fast hot water. Lots of books, games, and puzzles.Mary and Gordon were kind enough to bring a big beautiful Christmas tree to us and decorate for Christmas. I admit to absolutely loving Christmas and they had so many beautiful lights and decorations throughout the house that it felt like a winter wonderland. They even had decorations outside. It was dreamy.
The warmth and generosity of Mary and Gordon really stood out to me and my family. They were so kind and were keeping us updated on all the ongoings for the holidays around the cottage. We took many of their suggestions and were not disappointed! The cottage is very comfortable and perfect for a getaway with beautiful green rolling hills, warmth, and nature surrounding you. We would absolutely not hesitate to book this cottage again when in Ireland. It's a true gem.
