This cottage was lovely! It was right in the middle of Ireland, so we were able to go on adventures in a different direction every day! Our favourites were Roscrea, Galway, Kilkenny, Birr and Tullamore. The kitchen made it convenient to have meals at home, saving a bit of money and also when we were too tired to go out again after a busy day. Not being from Ireland, there were a few things we needed help figuring out at the cottage, but Chris was super helpful and helped us quickly.
