"Arrived to a warm cottage with the heating on timer."

Very clean condition. Welcome goodies much appreciated. Cows in fields at back added to the rural feel. Property is described as ' serene escape amidst picturesque surroundings.' So was surprised to find the cottage is situated along a local road. While traffic is fairly light, this only makes the sudden explosion of noise from speeding cars all the more noticeable. At night, lights from cars turning left onto the road from the T-junction light up the property. As all the accommodation is at the front there is no escape from the noise and lights. All the walls and doors are painted white which gives the cottage a bleak feel. There is a TV on the wall in one room and a nice clock on the wall in another. Clock would be nicer if it had a battery in it. The settee and airchairs are the small, low and uncomfortable type. Having stayed in several Sykes holiday homes I found several things I took as basic missing. Placemats and coasters, radio, ironing board to go with the iron, side table for each seating area not just for one, full length mirror. The biggest item missing is a wardrobe. There's enough room in the family room for one. Hangers on wallpegs and on the back of the two bedrooms doors make the place feel untidy. The rear lawn is described as 'enclosed'. It isn't. There is nothing to stop children going from the back to the front parking and onto the road. Information pack could be improved with details of cooker and smart TV controls.

"We had a lovely stay at the cottage, which is very cosy and equipped with everything that we needed."

The fresh milk in the fridge and biscuits provided were very much appreciated (though we didn’t use the milk as we are vegan—hopefully you can still use it!). Though fairly remote, the surrounding area is beautiful and we found plenty to do in County Sligo and beyond, with Sligo itself only a 15-minute drive away. In fact, we could happily have stayed for another week. Ideal for a peaceful break in the countryside.
