A beautiful house which we stayed in over the Christmas period. Everything anyone could ask for including two local pubs, a beautiful church which hosted a cherrie Xmas Eve Mass and a local store all within walking distance. The owner was very warm and welcoming and gave us lots of useful information for our stay and trips out around the area. We have stayed in many holiday cottages in the past, but this was by far my favourite.

A lovely old comfortable clean cottage which was well equipped. Sat in the evenings by the wood burner playing board games, very cosy. Welcome pack was great, as was Theresa the host who was very helpful and informative.
