Cute Cottage in the Country

We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It is a remote location, so expect to drive a while to get to bigger towns or cities. The hostess was lovely and very kind.

A great place to stay.

The kitchen has a good range of tools and equipment. A popcorn maker was provided with a complimentary packet of popcorn to try (which we did not). Although not in the description I read, there was an air fryer provided which we did try and found useful (we do not have one at home). There was also a coffee maker and there were coffee pods supplied which my wife made full use of! And there was a proper tea pot supplied and backup tea bags were available. There were just two of us, so it was a very spacious property for us which was useful for the amount of luggage we had due to a wedding attendance. The main room had plenty of seating for 4 individuals and the dining table would also be suitable. The fridge freezer was very useful and the cooker was acceptable. It was in the main very very quiet. The only sound you could hear were cows mooing in the morning and the occasional passing farm vehicles. The property was just a 10 minute drive from Ballyconnell where there was a large (for Ireland) supermarket which was more than adequate for food and drink supplies. It even had a butcher’s counter and fresh fish counter which we used and were very pleased with the products. A very enjoyable place to stay and we would fully recommend it.

Relaxing country break

Lovely cottage with great outdoor area regardless of weather. Very peaceful, close enough to amenities and outdoor activities. Neighbours were hens and geese.
