13.04 2011
We’re delighted that Croan Cottages has been included in the Belgian and Dutch Guidebook ‘Trotter – Ierland’.
The Trotter guides are very popular in Belgium and The Netherlands and we hope that our inclusion in the guide will attract more visitors from those countries to our cottages.
What they say about us:
“Zie je dat de tarieven zeer voordelig zijn (voor een familie of een groepjevrienden). Uitstekend gelegen om de streek te verkennen.”
“You’ll see that rates very beneficial (for a family or a group of friends). Ideally situated for exploring the region.”
