After a couple of hours here, my husband commented "We could spend a lot of time here" ... and we wished we could have.
Darina's place was actually our second choice since we'd originally planned to stay on Valentia island so this was a last minute selection. At first glance, we thought the photos made it look a little too modern and impersonal but once we arrived we discovered it to be way beyond our expectations.
On arrival, our GPS took us to the wrong street but Darina walked us through the directions while we were driving and we were met at the door by a friendly white cat who continued to visit throughout our stay.
We were thrilled to discover a washer/dryer as well as a really well equipped kitchen with all we needed for a night in.
The upstairs bedroom is extremely spacious, bright and airy, with a skylight that looks across to the water and an incredible sunset (followed by a sky filled with twinkling stars). The bed is very comfy and there's a great deal of space in the cottage for lounging, relaxing and enjoying the solitude of this beautiful location.
The company of the wonderful dog and two friendly cats made the entire picture complete.
