Liked: Friendly welcome, owner happy to share local knowledge of places to go and things to see - which gave us the opportunity to see a Hurling match which was great fun. Hearty fire in the cottage for all campers to enjoy - very welcome given very wet and windy conditions. Great camp kitchen as well.
