Have traveled to many places, including Ireland before & this was the most relaxing & superb place ever! Miles of clean quiet beach a few steps from your magical "cottage". Not truly a cottage but warm, modern home away from home. Best of the best in owners & staff. Will plan to come again!! Would like to keep it a secret garden! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in May 2024
