  • "The property was very clean and tidy and had everything that we needed for our mini-break."

    It is in a rural location and was very quiet and peaceful. The instructions to find the cottage were very clear which was extremely useful and the small queries we had were dealt with very quickly by Stuart and Sally. A very enjoyable holiday in a lovely area of Ireland. Would definitely recommend.

  • "Lovely cottage, really enjoyed our stay."

    Could do with a small shelf in shower to hold shampoo bottles, etc, as what is there is too small and not much room to bend down in shower to get shampoo bottles from the floor. Thanks

  • "Everything was excellent."

    House is really well set up. Grounds are beautiful, and the house is a short drive to loads of local activities. Caves were incredibe. Mattresses were not good though, ended up with quite a sore back. New mattressand a couple of fans for the bedrooms in the warmer weather would be perfect.

    Found the road atlas very useful as the map we brought was quite difficult to read. Could future guests use a kitchen waste bin or put veg peelings in the composter? (Just keen to help) . Also it was Really helpful to have email contact with the owner when we needed to. Overall we had a fabulous time.

    On hindsight it was just to far out . A lot of brochures in house but think a book where all visitors could recommend and give tips where is good to eat etc. We had trouble with the alarm for a few days blipping every few minutes tryed to sort it out with the help of the owners but had to get a professional in to sort it. There was a few goodies left for us which was lovely .
