Rambler's Rest is a well-received cottage, praised for its peaceful and scenic rural setting, cosy atmosphere, and traditional charm. Guests appreciate the attentive host and the cottage's suitability as a base for exploring the surrounding counties. The presence of wildlife and the comfort provided by features like an open fire add to the property's appeal, although some guests noted issues with cleanliness and maintenance.
Cleanliness scores are mixed, with some guests finding the cottage not cleaned to their expectations, while others made no mention of cleanliness issues. The presence of trash and questions about cleaning between bookings have affected the score.
The location is highly praised for its quiet, rural setting with beautiful scenery and proximity to local attractions. It serves as a great base for exploring nearby counties, although the distance from the town was a concern for one guest.
Most guests found the cottage comfortable, with cosy fires and a tranquil environment. However, a few mentioned that some rooms were cold and the beds were not up to standard, which slightly lowers the score.
Facilities are generally regarded as good, with the cottage being well-equipped and maintaining a rustic charm. However, some guests noted the lack of Wi-Fi and issues with mobile reception, as well as the need for clearer instructions on heating.
While some guests mentioned thoughtful touches like seasonal decorations and a loaf of bread, there is not enough consistent information about gifts or additional thoughtful gestures to accurately score this category.

On comparing the listing photos with the actual experience, the modern (and comfortable) looking furniture in the photo of the main living room seems to have been replaced with some old stuff, there was a shabby curtain permanently attached across the staircase (that presumably led nowhere as this is listed as a single storey dwelling) that was presumably cropped from the photos and which created a rather spooky and disturbing 'scene', especially when taken in conjunction with the prominent headshot on the wall in that room of an old woman in what appeared to be a funeral guise. Notwithstanding the premium price we paid, not for us, I'm afraid.

The cottage was cosy warm and had everything we needed. There is nothing more you could want â¦. A lovely remote location . Definitely recommend Ramblers rest as a perfect place to stay . Our dog â Mollyâ was very happy there too. Only a 5 minute drive to Manorhamilton and we also found a lovely dog friendly Forest walk called â Milltown woodsâ 10 minute drive. Also well worth the 30 minute drive to the stunning beach at Bundoran. Margaret the owner is very lovely to deal with. Thank you so much.
