“Ein tolles Häuschen mit guter Atmosphäre”

Wir waren für eine Woche dort. Es hat uns außerordentlich gut gefallen. Die Einrichtung ist sehr gemütlich, in der Küche findet man alles, was man braucht. Der Kamin und der Torf-Vorrat zum Feuermachen sind das absolute Highlight! Wir sind schweren Herzens wieder weiter gefahren. Wer nett essen möchte, geht in Castlebar ins Cafe Rua. Ein Ausflug zur Keem Bay war auch sehr sehr schön.

“Stunning idyllic traditional irish cottage. A little slice of heaven”

We were welcomed by the owners who showed us all the essentials and left us such a sweet welcome basket with tasty foods. The cottage is so well seT out with a fantastically stocked kitchen, lots of board games and books for rainy days maps and lots of stuff about the area. The scene is set with a turf fire and loft space to hang out in. Hands down one of the nicest places I've stayed in IIreland.

“holiday for the soul”

beautyful, quiet situated, very warm welcome and excellent equiped. The cottage is good for a couple or small family with older childrens which want to have a calm staying. Your neighbar is a butcher with a small shop, having best lambchops we ever had for barbeque. Some of the facility is made by old traditional irish style. You may able to use all amenities on the site as open barbeque site, camping chairs and tables, a big open barn and herb garden. The only thing which need to renovate is the shower cabin.Inside the cottage is attached to a groundfloor-bedroom a open loft with 2 beds, reachable by a very steep ladder. (not good for young childrens or older people)
