Beautiful cottage in a perfect location
We loved our stay at The Cottage in Downderry, such a lovely period property with lots of character and beautiful sea views from all rooms. only a 2 min stroll to the beach. The garden terrace is such a perfect place to sit and relax looking over the bay. Kerry was a lovely host with great communication, everything was easy and straight forward. The cottage had everything we needed for our family of 6, plenty of room for everyone including our little dog! We had a fabulous time and cannot wait to stay again. Thank you Kerry for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage, highly recommended.
