  My stay at Drumbarron cottage was a delightful experience. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in a friendly, centrally located vacation rental. The owner, Sonya, was professional and very responsive to all of my questions and requests. We found Drumbarron cottage a perfect stay for touring the south west of Ireland. It was a perfect combination of driving the countryside and walking to town. The Cottage was spacious and clean with many amenities. We will definitely stay there again on a return trip. Dare I say… a home from home.
