Upon arrival, there were dead flies all over the house that we had to sweep up, but other than that the home was very clean. The beds could definitely use replacing, they were not the most comfortable, but we survived for the short trip. The scenery and location of the home were refreshing and peaceful. I would suggest the sellers get a book together for guests (especially Americans) on how to adjust the shower temperature and radiators. We either took a shower that was freezing cold or it felt like we were showering in a tea kettle. I have never been so warm in Ireland. Very cute home, just needs a few tweeks.

The nik-naks everywhere must make cleaning difficult - hence the dust. Sofas and beds were uncomfortable, other people's left behind food still in the cupboards. Outdoor furniture was also broken. Just generally not a nice place to spend any time.

generally unhappy with this cottage It was very dirty/ sofa extremely uncomfortable beds were very uncomfortable Towels were like sandpaper There was endless tat everywhere/ every cupboard in the kitchen filled with other peoples leftovers much out of date Bin in kitchen smelly and full of mould Damp and mould throughout property Blinds do meet child safety requirements No opening window in downstairs bedroom/condesation running down inside of windows But most importantly and we are very unhappy about this the owner was spying on us as she told us in a text on the outside cctv and i am sure this is illegal and at the very least there should be signs to say that you are being watched Very unpleasurable experience
