Arrived late and Michael had the cottage all warm for us.Cottage is clean, well maintained and had everything you could need. People are so friendly and so many beatiful spots to see from what is an ideal location. Loved the view of the swans on the lake from the kitchen window especially in the mornings.

From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how impeccably clean and well-maintained everything was. The attention to detail made it feel like a true home away from home. We were greeted with a lovely welcome package of local treats, which put us at ease after our journey. The cottage had everything we needed. The house itself was beautiful, with breathtaking views of the Irish countryside, and every room was bright, spacious, and spotless. The hosts clearly took great care in maintaining the property, and their love for it was evident in every detail. Their hospitality was exceptional â they were always available to answer questions but gave us plenty of space to relax. Every aspect of our stay was completely stress-free, thanks to how thoughtfully everything was organized. We canât wait to return and highly recommend this cottage to anyone seeking a truly special Irish getaway!

It is also a short walk from the ferry to the Aran Islands. We enjoyed our trip there on the best weather day of the week. The cottage proved warm and comfortable on other unseasonably cold and wet days. There was everything we needed, and a well-stocked shop was just up the road. We would definitely recommend.
