We loved the fact there was no TV, and the internet was very good. Easy access to Ennis and local garage shop in easy access, you do need transport, but that applies to any cottage in Eire. A very clean and comfortable place to stay, great value for money and everything we wanted. Very quiet and relaxing.

The cottage was comfortable and homely and had a good range of facilities. It was a relaxing stay and we didn't miss having a TV or a dishwasher. The open fire was idyllic. The owners could not have been any more helpful and we would thoroughly recommend this cottage to others.

And the house was just lovely. The only thing missing is a diswasher. But I have to admit, I didn't mind doing the dishes by hand :-)
