Guestbook for Doire Farm Cottages
Thanks for a wonderful week - great welcome and your acts of kindness. Best self catering house we have had in Ireland and would recommend it without reservation. Scruffy and the hens made it extra magical. Thank you both and we will return soon. Peter, Pat, Elizabeth, Kathy & Ryan, Essex, U.K.
Doire Farm Cottages are one of the very best self catering cottages in Ireland. I give you 5 stars. Very warm and comfortably and meticulously CLEAN. They just sparkle with the pride and care only family-owened cottages have, and the hospitality is second to none. Highly recommended! The Best, THANKS. Barry & Michele Erdvig Atlanta GA
