Great rise in likes in recent weeks and in enquiries! The New Year is well underway, the cottage is cozy and comforting in the face of winter tiredness and bad weather so start planning a visit. Whether you want to come as a family, with a lover, a group of friends, walkers, musicians, and whether you need to party, rest up and mind yourself (think long baths, a good book by the fire and a long glass of wine in hand), or to write/create/make music, explore the outdoors or take is as it comes, the cottage awaits you.

Time flew!

A while since I've posted anything on here. We had a busy summer at Tigh na Ri Rua...several new guests, a few returns and a few new regulars! Mark Geary was down in June doing some recording for his forthcoming (5th) studio album with Karl Odlum & Dave Hingerty. Here's an older track. Do give Mark's FB page "mark geary" a little liking. X
