Gentian Cottage is an amazing and immaculate property with everything one could want or need: gorgeous views, thoughtful amenities, and an exceptional host. Communication with Ann was seamless, and check-in was effortless.Our group of five adults especially appreciated the large eat-in kitchen and the two wonderful gathering spaces: a cozy sitting room with a turf-burning fireplace and a beautiful sunroom overlooking the ocean.One of the things we loved most—beyond the stunning views, peaceful rural setting, and Ann’s hospitality—was the thoughtful layout of the house. The kitchen and living areas can be separated from the foyer and bedrooms by a door, which worked perfectly for both the night owls and the early risers in our group.Ann is a treasure: warm, responsive, and always available if needed, while never being intrusive. The nearby castle access was an added bonus that delighted everyone. We look forward to staying with Ann again.

We loved Ireland and we loved this home. It was exceptional - comfortable, super cute, well appointed, gorgeous views, great location and Ann was awesome. She met us with a fire lit, fresh irish bread on the counter and a few necessities in the frig. The kitchen was well stocked and she was always available. The castle tour was the icing on the cake. You must stay here.
