We wanted to relax and this cottage was perfect. The beach is 30 seconds walk, the view is breathtaking. We relaxed, played games, read, talked around the open fire, swam, walked and just chilled. No tv, no screens (although there is Wi-Fi), we detached from the phones and iPads and let our brains breathe. Will be booking again for next year or maybe even during winter. Tony and John were so helpful yet respectful of our privacy. Can not fault the cottage or the area. Loved every minute.

We had a wonderful week of walking and exploring the very scenic Irish countryside and coast. Dolores's house was exactly what we were looking for, clean, spacious, fantastic location, with the added bonus of a hot tub to relax in after a strenuous walk. Dolores herself was the perfect host. She was waiting to greet us when we arrived with a wealth of information to about the accommodation and surrounding area which proved to be most useful. I would happily recommend anyone wishing to visit this part of Ireland to stay at this property.
