And each evening took a stroll down to the lake to watch the sunset. The owners are lovely lovely people so friendly and helpful and the scones and biscuits in the welcome basket were the best we had ever tasted and were very much needed after a 12 hour journey.

Sadly that is no longer the case. However this property was maintained to an excellent standard the owner was a local farmer and a real gentleman. The property is a traditional Irish cottage that has been beautifully restored. Itâs a wonderful opportunity to stay in an old cottage but with modern comforts added.
