Reviews of Fitzpatricks Cottage
"I stayed here for a week in Feb with my elderly mother and my two children (under 10) while we were in Ireland visiting rellies. The cottage was easy to find and absolutely spotless. Margaret, the owner couldn't have been more helpful during our stay, with a very thoughtful welcome pack waiting for us, and a mini-tutorial for me on how to light a fire! The weather wasn't great, but that didn't matter because the cottage is a real home-from-home. The children wanted me to buy it!! Excellent access to major roads too. Will hopefully be staying again."
