Beautiful Cottage Nestling under Benbo Mountain. River, lake and sea fishing

Cozy, attractive and clean in a lovely setting. Charming host with great suggestions for sights and activities in the area. Highly recommend.

Alder Cottage is perfectly situated in beautiful north County Leitrim, peaceful and quiet, but easily accessible to everything you need for a great vacation. Mary is a thoughtful and caring host, attending to every detail to ensure your stay is wonderful.

Marvelous cottage off a peaceful country lane – absolutely charming! Nestled back off the road, surrounded by trees, flowers, and ivy, it was beautiful and serene. Each morning we woke to the song of birds – so peaceful and restorative.After a long, difficult journey from the States, it was such a joy to arrive at the cottage and be greeted by Mary. The cottage itself is lovely – spacious, large windows with stunning views, full of light, and very comfortable accommodations. Everything felt warm and welcoming.Mary’s personal touches meant so much to us – her delicious homemade jam and scones, and even fresh lettuce from her garden! Everything was fresh and thoughtful.Mary and the cottage made our trip complete. We were so grateful to have a place to stay where we could rest, feel at home, and simply enjoy the beauty around us. Truly a special and memorable experience. We would stay here again, if possible, next time we visit. Thank you Mary.

This was our first time to Ireland and what a blessing it was to find this cottage! It was perfect for our family of 4 (although had enough beds for 5). I let Mary know approximately what time we would get to her place and when we arrived, she was there waiting for us. The cottage was very tidy and included everything we needed. She even had homemade biscuits and jam for us which we greatly appreciated after a long flight from the US. There was a washer and dryer and she provided laundry detergent. She has a real fireplace if you want to light and enjoy a nice quiet time in the living room. Outside there is a ping-pong table which my kids (and husband ) enjoyed. She has a fishing pole that we could use and showed us where to go to her lake to fish. Although we didn’t catch anything, my kids really enjoyed it. Throughout our entire stay Mary was very responsive and even came right over within minutes to show us how to use the fireplace when we had a question on it! You are also with 15 mins or so from a grocery store which we were able to buy groceries for our meal and load up on Cadbury candy which is much better than the one you find in the US!It was the perfect stay and Mary was such a lovely host. If we ever had the chance to come back to Ireland, hopefully Mary’s cottage is available to stay here again.Thank you so much Mary!

We really enjoyed our stay at Alder cottage and cannot wait to return. We had everything we needed and check in with the lovely Mary was super easy. The area is very beautiful and the cottage itself felt like we were the only people for miles. The outdoor table tennis table was an absolute bonus!

We arrived after 9.30 pm, this was no trouble to the fantastic host Mary. Due to our late arrival she very kindly got us some supplies in. Mary gave us directions to various towns and activities we could do with two teenagers. The house was well stocked with all you need. And the table tennis table was a big hit. Thank you for a great stay, we will be back.

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely place. It was spacious and well-equipped. It was particularly delightful to be able to light and open fire for the cooler evenings. Mary's welcome was warm, very helpful and prompt in her communications. Thanks Mary for everything.

This is a lovely property, very spacious with nice grounds. Our host, Mary, was very helpful and easy to deal with. The only surprise was the extra charge for some utilities. We were aware that there was a fee for heater usage which is fairly common here, but there were also charges for hot water and electricity. It should be mentioned in the listing too avoid confusion.
