The property was well furnished and had all the conveniences, but its biggest draw was the location, absolutely perfect if you want to get away from it all, with your very own beach a short stroll down the road. We mainly dined out but had breakfast in the property every day, when we cooked an evening meal the kitchen was easy to use with all the things you need. Peaceful and relaxing and not very far away, a little slice of heaven. As it says on the way in to Louisburgh, welcome to God's pocket.

The property was easy to find, on a very quiet lane, with the only traffic being surfers or the local farmers. The cottage is fairly basic, but offers excellent value for such a picturesque location. The beds are very comfortable, which was a big plus, with warm duvets. The view from the garden was amazing, watching the sun set on a clear evening. The whole family enjoyed our week there, and would happily return. Evelyn was on hand if we required anything.
