Our family (2 parents, 2 grandparents, a 3.5 year old and an 8 month old) had a lovely 5 day stay. The location on Cruit Island is magical: the beaches are beautiful, the rocks are good for adventures and there are lots of trails to explore. It is great for families looking to spend quality time together in a secluded area. Provisions and restaurants are within a 15 minute drive in either direction off the island (hours limited during the off season). Day trips to the surrounding area are easily done (Glen Veagh National Park for example) but we ended up simply exploring the island and having picnics because the scenery was so beautiful. The cottage itself was perfect: clean, functional and welcoming. The floors are either tile or hardwood so we used a blanket or travel cot for the baby to play on. The turf fire was indeed a novelty! The owners are very helpful and went above and beyond to help with our requests. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and we will be recommending these wonderful cottages to all our friends when they travel to Ireland. ( Northern Ireland )
