Eileen and Tom's lovely cottage was just what we needed this weekend. We've been crazy busy this last while and were craving a chance to chill out, enjoy the garden, play with our dogs, sleep in, enjoy the peace and quiet and do very little other than wander. This cottage delivered all of that. Cosy, comfy, great views huge gardens and everything you could need to relax 'at home' for a couple of days. We enjoyed the wine and treats left, thank you so much. We very much hope we can exchange again when Eileen and Tom feel like another weekend in Belfast.

Eileen and I connected via a Facebook post when I had mentioned I was going to Belfast, NI and was looking to add another exchange to the trip. Eileen commented, suggesting her cottage in Cootehill and I reached out to her. Eileen was a trial member at this point, but signed up so we could finalize the exchange., which ended up being a non sim swap. Later on, I had some issues with my travel dates, but Eileen was very accomodating and willing to change the dates. Communication with Eileen has been a pleasure from the first message. She’s happy and positive and been giving me many tips and advices before coming to Cootehill. The day we arrived, she and her husband awaited us at the cottage, had a fire in the burner going, which was so lovely. They also gave us a quick intro to the cottage before they left to go back to Dublin. They had left us so many treats, like homemade scones and delicious jam - soooo yummy! They def made us feel welcome in every possible way 💝 I’ve never been to Cootehill before or the area despite this being my fifth visit to Ireland. Cavan def is a hilly area and we got the best of rural bliss. Every morning I’d go check out the view from the living room window as it was so pretty wether it was sunny or grey. The nearest village was a couple of minutes drive away for shopping and other stuff. There is Errigal Country House Hotel about a km away and we walked there one day to enjoy a VERY delicious afternoon tea (booking is a good idea) and they also have a spa departement, which we didnt have time to check out.. From the lovely Annalee Cottage, we explored as much as we could. We drove up to do the Cuilagh Board Walk, which was a great experience. From there we walked to the Marble Arch Cave and did a tour there before walking back to our car park. Heads up, car parks there will charge you 6 euros. The Culiagh area has lot of great hikes if you like the outdoors Stuff.. We also went to Rossmore Forest Park one afternoon and enjoyed very much the trails there and looking for Roddy the giant and other figures along the trails. We only had a couple of days in Cootehill, but could easily have spent more time there. When we got home from a day out, we loved to just hang out in the lounge, to read, watch a movie on the iPad (No wi fi) or just relax. Honestly, even if Cootehill seems rural, it is so worth it and I can highly recommend exchanging with Eileen - we really loved our stay in Annalee Cottage. I’m looking very much forward to welcome Eileen and Tom when they make it to Denmark ☺️
