Birgit says: "Wonderful traditional cottage in a very peaceful setting. We loved the beautiful surrounding, especially Slieve League and Glencolmcille, which is truley a a magic place. We recommend everybody to spend some time on the Slieve League peninsula. It is especially a great place for hiking tours. We will always remember sitting in front of the turf fire in Meenan's cottage enjoying a Guiness. "
