The lady who cares for the b and b was lovely and very helpful. The rooms are very b and b style (old and beautiful). We had a nice and cozy stay. It is also a beautiful rock on the outside of the b and b.

My family and had the pleasure of traveling Ireland last May one of our stops was rose cottage what a charming place to stay the owner was wonderful even when I locked us out of our assigned room :-) even the local handyman was pleasant we are going back to Ireland and hope to pay her another visit :-)
