If you are an early riser or you have young kids, this is the place for you. The cottage is cute, the wifi works, it's a 10 minute walk to a beautiful beach, and has a small kitchen that you can use to make yourself coffee and toast. The hosts were nice enough to place a bag of coffee and a french press in the cottage, which was a nice touch. Although I kept to myself, the hosts were both super friendly and very responsive when I did interact with them.

This is not the place if you want to sleep past 8AM though. During three of the four mornings of my stay, I was woken up with the sounds of children crying and adults singing to/with them. Mavourneen was organizing some kind of playgroup for her kids, their friends and parents/carers, which went on for about 90 minutes each morning. As the walls to the cottage are paper thin, you hear everything going on outside, particularly when the kids are playing in the garden in front of the cottage. Mavourneen is clearly an awesome, motivated mother, and the playgroup is probably loads of fun for the toddlers who attend, but had I known it would be taking place on the other side of my bedroom door, I would have booked a room somewhere else.
