The TV itself has sustained some damage and although usable the hole in the screen is noticeable. However more concerning was the label on the boiler stating that the due date for service was 16/7/21; there was a strong smell of oil always present in the utility room. These issues aside we loved staying in the mountains and enjoyed having our meals looking at the mountains. What a beautiful area!

Very welcoming hosts. Unfortunately the distance into the village was too far to easily walk. The whirlpool bath didn't work - it was only after booking that I noticed a previous review also noted this but it had not been fixed and was still advertised as part of the house.

However there are certainly things that we all felt needed improvement . There is no comfortable outside sitting. A bench for older people isnât appropriate. The TV is old and has a pixel showing In the middle of the tv. It was distracting. A new tv is desperately needed. The downstairs bedroom was very comfortable but we where constantly awoken by the other guests moving upstairs. Even when they crept around it was disturbing. The upstairs bedrooms need better beds and and proper wardrobes. My family where very uncomfortable on one of the beds and had to use another. This isnât acceptable for a holiday rental. In general the place was showing signs of where and tear in places and needs an upgrade on certain items. Having said all of this the cottage is placed in the most beautiful part of Ireland and the parents of the owners visited to ask if all was well.
