We have been staying in cottages for many many years and this is definitely at the top our our list. The views are unbelievable, the pictures online do not even start to do it justice. There is every facility you could possibly need. Sinead, the owner, was great. We had a problem with our car and she and her father arranged assistance from a great local garage. She was always available if needed. Wish we had had a month rather than two weeks. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to explore the area. You won't be disappointed.
