Step into History

Once abandoned and left to the unforgiving Atlantic storms, this 17th-century drystone cottage has been lovingly restored by our family, stone by stone. Now this characterful retreat welcomes couples, families, and friends seeking to slow down and connect with Ireland's history.

Stories in Stone

For centuries, its walls have borne witness to the generations who called it home, including Canon James Goodman, the renowned Uilleann piper, Irish composer, and collector of traditional music. Named in his honor, the cottage still echoes with the rhythms of history.

Past Meets Present

Step through the yellow door into a cosy sanctuary, where lime-washed stone, and timber beams invite you to connect with its rich past. Yet every modern comfort awaits, from the fully-equipped kitchen to underfloor heating that warms the ancient stones. With space for up to six guests, the cottage's layout balances togetherness and privacy perfectly.
