Review 1988 :

From: Donald and Barbara Tomaskovic-Devey

Rating: 5 out of 5

Review Submitted: 7/29/2010

The Derry Cottage, on the banks of the River Blackwater, is perfect for anyone who wants a quiet place, with comfortable bed and chairs, a warm solarium, wi-fi, room to spread out, gorgeous views, easy access to the whole of southern Ireland, the ability to save money by cooking for yourself (but really nice places to eat out if you wish), the best bakery in Ireland nearby, friendly hosts, and at a great price. Tony, our host, said that if you look in either direction on the river, what you see is exactly what you would have seen in 1850. Practically nothing has changed. All you see are the castle, the tower, the river, a forest, and farm fields. Maybe one car per day goes by, and we take an hour long walk every day without being passed by a car. When I was online looking for a place to stay in Ireland, what was attractive about this place was its price (one of the absolute best in Ireland), its location, and the comfortableness of the place. It’s absolutely great for one person or for two. So if you are looking for a place to relax, to write, to read, to hike or to meditate, PLUS to see lots of Ireland within a couple of hours’ drive, you should consider Derry Cottage. We will be back!

Well worth all the tarvelling from Birmingham to come to this beautiful, peaceful part of Ireland. We arrived in the dark so the view in the morning took our breath away.

If you get the chance on a dark clear night, stare up at the stars like a million lanterns lighting up the sky...truly magical!

A truly beautiful spot in a wonderful area. We will take so many memories back home - especially Friday nights in Flemmings Bar.

A lovely peaceful week amongst glorious scenery - extremes of weather from very hot and sunny to cold and rain! Much enjoyed an Irish music group, songs and dancing in Youghal. Many thanks to you both! Chris and Carol
