The setting on the farm provided a peaceful and unique location for our stay. You can easily see anywhere on the coastline within an hour of the accommodation. The lounge is comfortable and provides ample space for larger groups. However, some fittings were a little dated (especially upstairs) and the availability of hot water was erratic (although this seemed an issue in the wider area). We would return if we found ourselves on this coastline again.

We felt very comfortable here and our dog settled in well too. It is quite a bit away from the main road so we could easily walk on the 'bothrÃns' without worrying about traffic. Very quiet and peaceful. Well equipped with all modern conveniences, books, baby equipment, dvds and magazines. Would highly recommend.

The country style kitchen was well equipped. We found travelling to nearby towns very easy and enjoyed the many lovely beaches. We would certainly go back again in the future.
