We all like to think of relaxing in front of a cosy log burning stove, or a peaceful walk along the water’s edge.

I’m so excited about going there – it’s such a pretty part of the world.” Owner of the Irish Cottages, John Lowry added, “Mary is has chosen to stay with us in May. We are looking forward to giving her and Colin a very warm welcome and showing them just how much this area has to offer.”
