    Donegal. Enough parking for 3 cars and a rear enclosed garden for pets. Owner responsive to any queries/issues however not always resolved. Nice fire. Good ceramic kitchen wear I.e plates, mugs etc. Cons: very unclean, even after a second clean by the cleaner. Thankful owner offered second clean, however didn't resolve issue (admittedly we were too shy to say it still wasn't clean when owner checked with us) therefore we had to clean it ourselves. Cobwebs and dead spiders on ceilings and doorways. Window sills thick with dirt. Floors dirty. Can appreciate it is an old cottage with rough walls & stone floor therefore difficult to clean however needs deep clean asap. Hoover very weak suction- wouldn't help cleaning efforts. Cutlery needs refreshed- a lot stained & tarnished- not nice to use. Poor fittings, skirting boards broken & bulging in places. Grass very over grown and neglected, would have expected grass to have been cut. Fence & gates rotten and protective wiring to enclose garden torn, small dogs could escape, therefore not fully safe/enclosed. If you need to check emails or work during your stay the WiFi is poor & intermittent. Owner advised WiFi down due to service provider servicing in the area, although it was poor for the full week stay and seemed to reset at 3am every night. Overall: 2/5 Would be 4/5 if it had a tidy up/refurb, and better looked after and WiFi more reliable as it is advertised as an amenity/service on the booking site.

    There were 9 of us staying. Fridge is inadequate size for two families. If you use water elsewhere in the house and are having a shower it effects pressure and water temp in downstairs shower falls dramatically. Basically you can’t use both showers at once. I feel the meter for heating etc is a bit much during summer months esp as you have to put it on to use downstairs shower... it doesn’t cost much to have extra hot water. Whenever you pay for rental accommodation you expect the heating to be included. The seating area downstairs could use another comfortable sofa.

    Everything you hope to find in a holiday cottage including a turf fire. Second year we have booked this cottage and we will be booking again for next year.
