Unfortunately the mattress in the master bedroom upstairs is terrible, springs sticking out of it etc. The pillows are all a bit flat and useless too. However we had an enjoyable stay, the rest of house is great and being so close to the beach was lovely. We enjoyed the open fire and had lots of space to rest and recharge

The shower in the upstairs top floor needs attention it is quite grotty where areas have been filled with sealant obviously to stop leaks which can be seen on ceiling below, the toilet seat in this en-suite is unsafe as it moves when sat on. The ceiling on the bottom floor small bedroom with the bunk beds has paint peeling off and we had to make sure our child didnât have its head at that end as had the paint had been touched it would have flaked off. The kitchen is a great size but needs a deep clean, a handle on a drawer fixed as itâs hanging off, some of the trays in the oven were covered in grease so had to be washed by us and even then the grease was still evident The worst thing about our stay was the mattress in the top floor bedroom, the springs are visible!!! I have a bad back and had to sleep with a rug on top of mattress plus then sleep on top of the quilt, it spoilt our stay The bedclothes were clean and plenty of towels , which was great. Also there was no vacuum cleaner or mop and bucket which is essential to have with dogs and children We use holiday rentals twice a year, and have done for nearly 10yrs, we acknowledge that prices at peak times are higher but we were disappointed with this property, and it did not live up to the pictures on line. Amenities for groceries are quite a drive away in Kerrykeel also eating out in Kerrykeel comprises of 2 take aways. The restaurant advertised as a walk away no longer serves food only drink so eating out is limited. Being near the beach is great in good weather but I would advise those with children stay nearer Letterkenny for wet days, as this house location is isolated.

Less than 5 mins walk you are on a beautiful large beach. Didn't see more than a handful of others on it during our stay. Cottage really well equipped and there's a welcome basket which is a nice touch. Loads of space inside. Conservatory an excellent eating spot to gaze out and watch the world go by. Night sky, if clear, is tremendous for star watchers.
