Once we arrived we could explore the most beautiful parts of Hook Head directly on foot from the cottage. This made our weekend a complete getaway. Meandering back to the cottage through the woods in the evening sunlight has made a lifelong memory for us.
Clare Meade Thank you for such a magical stay! Your cottage is truly magnificent and so cozy — we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Being surrounded by such peaceful nature made our time here incredibly beautiful and restorative.
Alessia & Marco Fantastic place to stay. Most relaxing environment since we arrived in Ireland some weeks ago, and so pleased we booked here. Amazing attention to detail and really a home away from home.

Amy & Gus It was the place of my tour of Ireland that I loved the most. I felt completely at home. In my experience a home is a reflection of its owners, so today I leave this beautiful place also knowing I was the guest of lovely, kind and thoughtful people.

Peter & Kyunshil Tom & Rebecca were very classy hosts, leaving cakes, wine, eggs and fresh bread and a warm fire to greet us. The beds were absolutely amazing and a struggle to get up from in the morning. The heated floors were such a divine change from the norm.
Ian & Kelly The cottage in Saltmills exceeded all expectations. Beautifully decorated, immaculate and cozy. Fantastic showers and beds. Four of us stayed here for two nights, and we all loved it. Tom and Becci are welcoming and thoughtful hosts.
