Private cottage loaded with historical flavor. Hosts helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay here again if we are ever back in the area .

The writers cottage was very comfortable and quaint. Hannah and Paddy were wonderful hosts with lots of good suggestions on things to see during our stay. If you’re looking for a quiet place to get away, but central on the island to be able to do day trips from, I highly suggest this beautiful place!

We couldn't have picked a better spot for home base during our stay in Ireland. We adventured in all directions by day and snuggled into the cottage each night.

Stayed here for my last night in Ireland after a week long trip. It was honestly the perfect way to end my vacation. Had the writers cottage all to myself and the fire was already going when I arrived. It was exactly the cozy quiet night I was looking for!

It was such a delight to drive up to the idyllic manor house, be greeted by some very friendly puppies and farm animals, and wind our way back to the cottage. We loved that a fire was already burning in the stove when we arrived, and were pleasantly surprised by the excellent wifi connection. We would definitely recommend this lovely property!

I arrived at the quaint little cottage and the fire was burning. The fire created a cosy ambiance and I felt welcome coming in from the rain. It’s such a beautiful space.

I have to preface this with an *. I had booked the gardener's cottage but there was some sort of booking mishap and the cottage was double booked. To their credit they gave me a room in the main house which was very nice. It was technically an up-grade and there was no charge. I would have like the solitude of the cottage, but I am not upset as I had a lovely time.
You should most definitely get dinner. The food was exceptional. I enjoyed interacting with the other guests and the host over conversation in the drawing room. I was also able to find a bit of the solitude I was looking for with a walk around the grounds and a few hours spent in the very nicely appointed library. I think the library was my favorite space on the property.
I would definitely come back again and perhaps stay an extra day or ten.

The little cottage is so quaint and cosy. I arrived to the fireplace burning which added to the atmosphere of the beautiful little cottage.

A magical walk past the estate and thru the forest leads you to a quiet, peaceful adode. A safehouse against the modern world. Combined with an over the top breakfast - produces an amazing start to a day.
