We absolutely loved our getaway at Dhuallow. It was remote, but close to everything we wanted to do. Such a gem tucked away. The remote country feel was phenomenal. Beautiful scenery! Our girls were in heaven the entire trip and we all were so sad to leave. They spent hours out on the tire swing and playing in the wooded area on the property. We loved the older feel of the cottage with the decor and the rooms were all cute. Everything was perfect for us, and we would love to go back. We appreciated a place that was accommodating for our larger family.

Property, had no hot water, although host provided an alternative solution and compensated us with the electricity costs. Fantastic outdoor space. Could use a little modernisation although this wasn't an issue to us. The property has an Aga which heats the property around the kitchen area, which was fantastic, however, having not used an Aga before, cooking a meal for 8 people was a challenge. Insufficient storage space in the kitchen was an issue, as was the two slice toaster that only one side worked on. Would benefit from an air fryer. Wi-Fi was hit and miss but mainly miss. The worse thing for me, we filtered our search to pub within 1 mile - this pub must have closed years ago but the listing hasn't been updated - I am glad we stayed here, but if the listing was up to date we would never have seen the property. Area around is great, a good base to tour around from, lovely hosts who did their best to rectify the water but were continually let down. None of the above ruined our stay, but could be so much better with minimal investment and an updated listing.
