Mary Rose was a lovely host and the cottage was beautifully decorated, with extra bonus points for the wonderful Christmas decorations. The showers were powerful and hot, the beds super comfy and the sitting room with the open fire was the perfect place to relax in the evening. I'm a big fan of cooking when on holiday and the kitchen had all the basic utensils and pots you need if you want to cook whilst you are away although the electric hob takes a bit of getting used to if you haven't used one for a while. There were some basics like tea, coffee (including a Nespresso machine and a cafetiere), oil and vinegar, salt and pepper and a few herbs. Mary Rose also left a welcome bottle of wine which was much appreciated. Further afield we went for some amazing walks in the hills and forests around the lough and would totally recommend it to anyone who wants a beautiful cottage to relax in for a few days.

The Humble Daisy is a lovely house to live in an Mary Rose is an attentive host. We were welcomed with soft music, candlelight and a botle of red wine. We felt at home from the very beginning. The pubs in Woodford and espacially Terryglass spoiled us with good, fresh beer and a typical atmosphere. We were glad to be there.

Five star very comfortable accommodation located in a quiet, scenic area which is driving distance to all amenities. Lovely walks, access to the lake, peaceful surroundings and friendly hosts made our holiday one to remember... highly recommended! Thank you, Mary Rose & Oliver.
