Tessa's cottage was charming and actually much larger than I expected.... the bathroom is enormous and quite chic! Everything was well-appointed, the cottage cozy, and though I didn't have the pleasure or meeting Tessa in person (only a small phone chat), I was warmly welcomed by her husband, and they were very accommodating with my fairly late arrival (I'd been having issues with my rental car tires). They have two extremely well-behaved dogs (I didn't hear a single peep out of them in my whole stay) and a cute kitty whom I only spotted on the morning of my departure. Kenmare is a very cute town with oodles of dining and pub options, and it was lovely to be able to walk 'home' after a few pints (bring a torch/flashlight for guidance on the dark country road!)
