Amazing Ardrogeena Cottage
Sarah from Edinburgh Edinburgh
Review Submitted: March 30, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
We chose to stay in Ardrogeena Cottage over New Year 2008/9. What an amazing place - I have never stayed in a self catering cottage where every little detail had been considered. It was amazing value for money, beautiful decor and spotlessly clean. Plenty of space so you don't feel cramped and it is exactly as it looks on the website. In fact there's not a single improvement or thing missing from the cottage. It's the sort of place you want to keep quiet as it's such a little gem!

We stayed at Ardogeena Cottage for 8 days and can only say what a wonderful place. The hosts Jane, Jim and their dogs were amazing. They answered all our questions about the area and offered their help whenever they could.
The cottage itself has everthing what a self-catering vacationer needs and is the perfect location to explore the places around such as Barley Cove, MizenHead, SheepsHead, Killarney National Park and The Ring of Beara.
And when the weather wasn´t the best we could perfectly relax in the Cottage.
One of the best self-catering cottages we have experienced over several years visiting the UK and now Ireland. Everything thought of and very comfortable - especially the central heating most welcome for stay 16 to 27 October 2009. Eggs and soda bread (get the recipe from Jane) plus other basics another pleasant touch. Property just as described and Jane and Jim most helpful. Wireless broadband excellent but no mobile coverage! Durrus pubs (Long Boat in particular) all friendly and the supermarket good value. Beara, Mizen Head, Sheep's Head then Ring of Kerry recommended for touring and walking. Sunday lunch at Blair's Cove restaurant very good value. Definitely would recommend again.
