The view was breathtaking and I we loved sitting on the bench with a cup of tea watching the light change the landscape. The house was so clean, had everything you could possibly need and only a minute walk from a well stocked shop. The local beach are some of the most beautiful sand and azure water I have seen. Letterfrack is a short drive away with a bigger shop and deli, a bookshop and a few cafes and restaurants and pubs. Really good food in all. The fact that the bathtub is separate to the toilet is genius as I was able to have a bath in peace. Geraldine had a lovely welcome for us and some treats left in the kitchen for us. Canât wait to go back some day

Geraldine, the owner was very friendly and welcoming and we found everyone we met in the area friendly and helpful. Would recommend this to anyone. One small issue was the description stated 2 bathrooms where as it is actually a bathroom and separate toilet.
