Many thanks to Thomas and Rita for their excellent hospitality this month - we were lucky to get a last-minute cancellation and they couldn't have been more helpful and the cottage was a lovely place of rest and relaxation. Do strike up a chat with the neighbour (a very talented woods/craftsperson!) and do also enjoy the place (which has clearly been a labour of refurbishment love) as a great base for travelling up into the Wicklow Mountains (little beach and swim and picnic in Glendalough), east towards the beach/sea or south towards Enniscorthy or Kilkenny or west towards Blessington Lakes for boat hire - lots to do every day (try the Greenan Maze and coffee shop) but also great to get back to the Cottage/fire/and cosiness at the end of each day!
