Summary: We stayed at Ballyboes Cottage for Christmas and New Year’s 2025 and were delighted by the warm, bright and cosy atmosphere of the house. On top, we were extremely pleased that Mary, the host, had not only decorated the house nice and Christmassy, but also left a gift basket. Arrival was like coming home!During a ten day stay with 4 adults, 1 child and our dogs all of us were enjoying the spaciousness of the house and the cosiness of the living room. The panoramic and wide view of the house permits to observe the ever changing weather conditions with the corresponding beautiful colour games. The beds are very comfortable, so is the availability of three bathrooms . All installations are in perfect condition. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped, the dish washer and washing machine of highest quality. Mary surprised us with her extraordinary kind and supportive way, her great recommendations concerning the area and her immediate and uncomplicated availability in case of questions.We passed 10 unforgettable days at Ballyboes Cottage and could highly recommend it.
