Magic!
Scored 10/10
This place is just magical. The host really made us feel most welcome in her space. The whole area is just gorgeous, like stepping into a fairy tale, waking up to those views, and the sound of nature was out of this world. The host left us fresh scones, jam, coffee, milk and tea. Everything was sparkling clean. It's really close to the city, but you still get all the advantages of being out in nature. The hosts were really understanding as well, when my little brother accidentally knocked over one of their lamps. If you are looking for an amazing place to relax and unwind, this is it!

Beautiful property. Wonderful owners.

Dee & Billy are wonderful people. They leave you alone unless you ask them to join you, which I suggest you do. We've gained some new friends. The property is very picturesque, with old world charm. Where we stayed was decorated as you'd expect an Irish cottage to be, except for the bathroom which was very modern. It's quiet, peaceful and very comfortable. Dee was great with correspondence and very flexible with our check in time. We only stayed one night and I wish it was longer.
