VIDEO: Glandore’s Swallow Cottage a perfect holiday nest in the west

Glandore’s Swallow Cottage is an ‘oasis of quality and privacy’, well worth the migration, says Tommy Barker.

YOU can almost imagine the puzzlement of the returning swallows when they made their migratory way back to nest at Glandore’s Swallow Cottage four or five years ago — the place had been turned upside down in their absence, quite literlly.

While the swallows over-wintered perhaps as much as 10,000 miles away in Southern Africa, the Dublin buyers of this two-storey house, named in their honour high above Glandore village, were busy refashioning their own holiday nest on three elevated acres with views.
