We spent a blissful 7 days at Cooga Cottage. From the moment we arrived, we knew this was a special place. Thomas, our host and owner of the cottage, was gracious and welcoming. The cottage is spacious, very well appointed and immaculate, and has virtually everything anyone might need. Travel books and novels line the walls of the den, all three bedrooms are beautifully decorated and comfortable, even the bathroom is stocked with an amazing array of toiletries. Satellite TV and Wi-Fi worked very well and without any glitches. All the credit goes to Thomas, who obviously has made it a top priority that his guests have an outstanding experience during their stay at his cottage.
Doon is a small, quiet town filled with and surrounded by farms and pastures. Yet it is only a 30 minute drive to downtown Limerick, with its shops, restaurants and bustling streets. We had no difficulty using the cottage as our base for day trips to Kilkenney, KIllarney, Lough Gur (very close), Limerick, the Cliffs and much more. Even Galway was an easy drive under 2 hours.
This was our first trip to Ireland and we had an absolutely wonderful time. Thank you, Thomas, for allowing us to spend a week in your family's cottage - we enjoyed it immensely and hope to be back again in the future.
