The rental of this property is through a company called Sykes Cottages. I would have liked to have contacted the owner by email prior to departure, but Sykes only provides a telephone number. Telephoning from the states, with the time difference and the often poor quality of the connection, makes it a less desirable means of communication. The directions to the cottage would have been difficult to follow if I did not have a navigation system.
The cottage is great! The advertisement says "working farm" but that means 20 acres where the owner keeps her horse and raises a few heads of cattle to pay for her occasional extravagances. The farm aspect detracted in no way from the attractiveness of the cottage. All facilities worked well. Enough hot water for a good shower. Our cooking was limited, so kitchen features were more than adequate. We could have asked for a bit more sunshine, but I expect this was more than our hostess could have arranged. The location had good access to the southern part of Ireland.
We enjoyed our week here thoroughly.
