Stayed at Tara overnight for the 19th-20th of August with my fiancé and dog Ajax and it was utter perfection. The location, the layout of the cottage, the views and it being dog friendly? What else could be better? We loved every minute of it and will definitely be back! Thanks Prue!

Tara Cottage: an excellent holiday

The property is well-appointed with appropriate kitchen appliances, w-fi, etc. but for me its superlative point is the garden. An ideal space for my energetic dog to endlessly chase the ball.This is my second stay and I will definitely come back.

Quiet, idyllic getaway

This cute little cottage is perfect for a couple or solo trip, house was cosy and has a decently stocked kitchen with all the basics you’d need. Really comfy bed, it was lovely having a slow morning (due to a generous midday check out) relaxing and watching the birds in the backyard. Will definitely visit again! Pam was an excellent host, great communication and cottage was clean and tidy.
