Exactly as described. This was a beautiful cottage situated in rolling North Mayo countryside down to the estuary. You could do a three-mile looped walk down along the estuary and round to the beach from the front door, and were in easy striking distance of a number of heritage sites: the Ceilde fields, as well as the Franciscan abbeys of Rosserk and Moyne. There's a wood-burning stove in the lounge and plenty of peat. Though there were only two of us, the cottage would comfortably have slept six.

Mary was a charming host, who welcomed us with homemade scones and jam (highly recommend the red gooseberry). She was easy to get in touch with and very flexible about arrival times. We wholeheartedly recommend Fuschia Cottage!
