The perfect place to stay

I spent a week in this wonderful cottage near Dunfanaghy with my wife and another couple. The house is furnished excellently and creates an atmosphere which makes you feel at home immediately. When we arrived we found a fridge full of everything we needed for our breakfast and two bottles of very good wine and everything was complimentary.The view from the house is breathtaking and I caught myself several times standing at one of the windows and looking at the scenery. The nearest pub, the village and supermarket are only two km away. In addition to this realy comfortable cottage the area around Dunfanaghy is one of the nicest places on earth for me but I have to admit that Ireland is one of my favourite holiday destinations. I can really recommend this place to everybody who looks for an extraordinary accomodation in an absolutely unique area. Apart from all that Annemarie is so helpful with anything you need.
Thank you for the wonderful time we could spend in your cottage.
