Lots of noise transmitted from other first floor occupants of the building. The noise being transmitted through the ceiling. The underfloor heating made our accommodation warm and comfortable.

) The owner, and his son, were friendly and welcoming and the apartment was clean and comfortable. The living room and bedrooms are light and spacious but the dining area is very cramped. It was fine for two of us - we just moved two of the chairs out of the way - but it would be a tight, claustrophobic squeeze for four adults!! The weather was hot so we enjoyed the shady outside seating, which can be used even when raining due to being sheltered by upstairs' balcony. One annoying issue was that both smoke alarms were set off EVERY time the oven door was opened even though nothing was burning. This wasn't too much of a problem, as it stopped reasonably quickly with all the windows and the door open, but I expect would be worse in colder weather: a good excuse not to cook but to visit the many pubs, takeaways and cafés within easy walking distance?! There are a butchers and two well stocked small supermarkets at the bottom of the town: a CoOp and a large Spar at the garage.They provided all we needed for the week (but it was quite a hike back up the steep hill!) Around the town there are some lovely walks of varying lengths and difficulty; maps and leaflets are helpfully provided. We had another relaxing holiday at The Schoolhouse Bakehouse and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Sofas in living rooms need to be cleaned and repairedâ¦.rip in the rear of large sofa and very soiled. Kitchen equipment sadly lacking â¦.no oven proof ovenware available, we had to buy some while there. Small plates and saucers missing. We should have been warned of tight corner and very low wall to enter the parking area, damaged front bumper of our carâ¦.. owner, who saw it happen said ⦠a lot of people do thatâ¦.he then removed a large rock from the low wall. We have stayed in a number of your properties and this has been the most disappointing. Will in future be looking at other letting companies in the future. The town of Bishops Castle was very pretty with some excellent pubs and restaurants.
