The cottage was better in-person then what it showed on VRBO. The views were spectacular and the location was amazing. We did so much exploring and adventures in the five days that we were there but never felt like we had to drive all day to get to places. Every evening we would come back to our cottage and just enjoy sitting in the backyard watching the sheep, cattle, streams going down the mountains, and the clouds floating by. If we get the chance to come back to Ireland we will definitely stay here again!

What a gorgeous little cottage in the most wonderful scenery! I had a great stay here, it is so peaceful and yet only a 20 minute drive to Letterfrack. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay and Dolores was so helpful and great to communicate with.
