We found a garage that has been converted into a holiday home. The interior is functionally furnished as in the pictures. However I was very disappointed because the entrance I was always smelling a bit of oil because behind the Garage an oil tank was installed. There is no possibility to enjoy the great landscape from the living room. Because the windows were corrugated. Apart from the fact that right in front of the garage is the back entrance of the single family house. When you turned on the water a loud pump started which you can also hear throughout the garage. In other words if I made myself a coffee early I woke everyone in the house. Hoping that the water is drinking water. I have slept on many beds in the world. The beds of this garage are lower standard only. From the picnic area you have no view of the wonderful landscape. You just look at the gray roof of the single family house. The waste water from the kitchen shower and hand basin in the bathroom is not discharged into the sewage system. It is mixed with the rainwater. Thats not okay. The oil tank behind the house does not have a catchment basin. In the event of an accident the oil will pollute the environment. I am convinced that this is not OK in Ireland either. Dear provider if you were to rent such a holiday home I am convinced that you will also be very disappointed. In my opinion the rip off is what you are doing. I will definitely travel to Ireland again but certainly not book here again.
