We eventually found a more direct route which could have been mentioned but spent over 2hrs searching. The upstairs floors creaked badly. We had to mend the bathroom toilet lid which we found broken. The bathroom shower was poor. The most disrespectful part was the owners unexpectantly charging for electric use at the end of stay which was not mentioned on or before arrival. We were there only 5days never had the heat on and charged â¬45 . Having holidayed in Ireland both north and south for several years I have never been asked for extra utility payments.

The house is very well equipped, very comfortable and offers tranquility and fantatstic views, while in close proximity to lots of activities and fantastic places. It is very spacious. The only downsides we could find were the squeaky floorboards (which cannot be changed) and the beds in the downstairs twin room, which were really uncomfortable. But the (very nice!) owners said they were thinking about replacing them. I would definitely recommend Fern View!
