It had everything we needed, a very comfortable home from home. It was in a good location for us being just outside Dungarvan enjoying some good restaurants and close to family. I do feel that the property has a few issues with the plumbing as the sinks took a while to drain and the toilets took several flushes. Also, we couldn't get the television to work. Apart from this, my family thoroughly enjoyed our week at the cottage.

Floors not swept, bin in downstairs bathroom not emptied, oven filthy. Dust everywhere, rubbish under the beds. Musty smell in downstairs bedroom and bathroom. There is a Christmas tree in the sitting room which is a complete joke in the middle of summer.

We had to clean the place from top to bottom; remove blood-stained bedding; and remove some slugs from the walls. We opened all the windows for a couple of hours to try and diminish the aroma of damp coming from behind the kitchen sink. To connect to the wi-fi we had to (under the owner's directions) climb up on to the kitchen cabinets and switch it on from the router's eccentric placement above the cooker. We were given the wrong wi-fi password by the owners. Their contact information was also incorrect. Further eccentricity was provided by the placement of a dusty, fake Christmas tree in the sitting room (in June). The carpet in the downstairs bedroom is filthy. Neither of the extractor fans in the bathrooms work. The mirror light in the downstairs bathroom doesn't work. The 'pop up' plugs in both bathrooms are broken. In the kitchen, the state of the oven is a disgrace. This property is tired and shabby. It is in urgent need of modernisation and a deep clean.
