We had an amazing time relaxing away from it all. The location is beautiful and unspoilt, with a little stream nearby that the children loved. The cottage is really special, with lovely little touches everywhere, from the piano in the bedroom to the photos and mementoes all around. The standout surprise for me was the record player with a vinyl collection of absolute classics! Dempsey’s cottage is an absolute tonic if you’re feeling tired or burnt out and just wanting to slow down & reconnect. You can’t help but relax there. The nearest town is less than 10 minutes drive away if you need anything. Strokestown house and the famine museum were superb, and coming home for an evening in front of the fire was a lovely end to the day. Can’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you Catherine. We’ll be back!
