点评:I've been visiting Ireland for over twenty years, and this is the best experience I have had in the country. From the moment my nine-year-old son and I arrived, we were blown away. The cottage is beautifully renovated (it's incredible) and spotlessly clean. Everywhere you turn, you'll find a thoughtful touch designed to make your stay more comfortable or teach you about Ireland years ago. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook a meal, and Anne supplies far more than the basics that are promised. Eddie is the kindest host, happy to tell you about the area, the land, and Irish folklore. There's the sweetest donkey who lives right outside the kitchen window (and is happy to take apples and carrots from visitors), and Bonnie the sheepdog visits every day with her deflated soccer ball, ready to play. My son has not asked for a screen the entire time we've been here. Eddie taught him how to build a stone wall, and it's like a (much better) Lego extravaganza. He asks to go out there all day. Eddie also taught him about the bog and how to cut turf; again, there was never a breath of boredom from the child. The cottage is also conveniently located near Sligo (town) and many other small towns if you wish to go to restaurants, shops, etc. Many visitors miss this view of Ireland - trust me, get out of the cities and tourist sites and book a few nights here. You will be SO GLAD you did. If it's not available (and it might not be - it's catching on), it's worth changing your dates!
P.S. - Be sure to reserve some time with Pat the Blacksmith while you're here! I will post a separate 5* review for Nine Irons Craft.
翻译:我来爱尔兰已经二十多年了,这是我在这个国家最棒的体验。从我和九岁的儿子抵达的那一刻起,我们就被深深地震撼了。小屋装修精美(简直令人难以置信),一尘不染。无论走到哪里,都能感受到贴心的关怀,它们旨在让你的住宿更加舒适,或者让你了解爱尔兰的悠久历史。厨房里配备了烹饪所需的一切,安妮提供的远不止承诺的基本用品。埃迪是最友善的主人,他很乐意向你介绍这个地区、这片土地以及爱尔兰的民间传说。厨房窗外就住着一头可爱的驴子(它很乐意从客人那里叼走苹果和胡萝卜),牧羊犬邦妮每天都会带着她瘪了气的足球来玩。我们住在这里的时候,我儿子从来没要求过要屏幕。埃迪教他如何砌石墙,这就像一场(比这好得多的)乐高盛宴。他要求在那里待一整天。埃迪还教他如何观察沼泽以及如何修剪草皮;同样,孩子从来没感到过一丝无聊。小屋位置便利,靠近斯莱戈(镇)和其他许多小镇,方便前往餐厅、商店等场所。许多游客都错过了爱尔兰的这番美景——相信我,离开城市和旅游景点,在这里预订几晚住宿吧。你一定会非常庆幸自己这么做了。如果这里没有空房(而且可能没有——这种情况正在流行起来),不妨改期!
附言:来这里的时候,一定要预约铁匠帕特(Pat the Blacksmith)!我会为Nine Irons Craft单独发布一篇五星好评。
