Sean is helping you out, if there is anything you need. E.g.: we asked for firewood although the heating was sufficient and he provided us with some to have a nice atmosphere. Thanks again.

The local pub is was wonderfully welcoming and fun. As is the Cafe in Moone. Sean is a very friendly and accommodating host. We used the cottage as a base to explore Ireland- it worked perfectly. We would recommend this stay to anyone.
