Genuine small traditional Cottage, with view of sea and port with large private garden in quiet, sheep farming area near small port. The area in general is stunning, with hills, mountains, cliffs, bog and beaches but very untouristy. Fantastic sight seeing, walking and swimming opportunity. Plenty of sheep on roads nearby. We'd highly recommend the coastal paths nearby and the ferry tour to Iniskea islands from Blacksod pier.
The cottage is warm and comfortable with quality bedlinens towels and beds. We loved the open turf fire.
Good equipment in kitchen made meal prep easy- we didn't mind there being no dish washer for just 2 of us. We used the bbq a few times and there is nice outside furniture to enjoy the view from. The shed is a bonus with a covered line, storage and shelter. Plenty of kitchen basics eg bin liners, kitchen foil and laundry detergent are available.
Mary is warm helpful and easy to deal with. Highly recommend
