This is the most beautiful charming cottage one could stay in. Wood heat. Fresh Irish air every morning. The hosts were fabulous. If you want a true Irish experience stay here! It’s minutes from Birr where there is a very good grocery store as well as the Birr Castle and garden. Among other things. You must go see while you are in Ireland!! This is a drive… but I became a natural on the roads pretty quickly. Do not be afraid of the drive! My Apple iPhone maps did just fine. I do have international calling/cell service with AT&T-USA.
