Beautiful peaceful location with charming walks through the woodland and around the bog. John was a great host, we had everything we needed and more. Lovely cosy Irish cottage. Our daughters enjoyed making friends with the animals and playing out in the garden. Good base for touring the area. The local town of Tobercurry was great for shopping. Lots to see and do. The only bad part was running out of time! Would stay again.
