Cottage in the country

The Grooms Cottage was a rustic wonderful stay. It is in the country but really not far from shops. Having only 1 bathroom was a little difficult in the morning with 5 adults but they are working on an upstairs one, it just wasn't ready for our stay. I definitely would come back to the Grooms Cottage!

Quaint, historic, beautiful

We loved this place; historic, quaint, beautiful setting. We enjoyed the feeling of being “in” Ireland, instead of a hotel setting. There were 6 of us and we were very comfortable. The host was very accommodating with our changing plans. Thank you!
