The property's warmth, cleanliness, and surrounding natural beauty contribute to a relaxing and romantic atmosphere.

The cottage is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, with guests noting its spotless condition upon arrival. The attention to cleanliness contributes significantly to the positive experiences reported.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity and natural setting, offering a peaceful retreat. Proximity to local attractions and towns like Mohill and Carrick on Shannon adds to its appeal.
While many find the cottage cosy and comfortable, there are several mentions of furniture that may not suit older guests, and suggestions for larger or higher beds. These comments indicate room for improvement in comfort for some visitors.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a fully equipped kitchen and warm underfloor heating. However, feedback on TV reception, the absence of Wi-Fi, and the need for certain amenities like a DVD player and a metal bucket for stove ashes suggest that there is scope for enhancement in this category.
While some guests mention the lack of a welcome pack and suggest that the inclusion of items such as tea, coffee, and wine would be appreciated, there is not enough consistent information across reviews to accurately score thoughtfulness. It should be noted that while such gifts are mentioned, they are not guaranteed and may vary.

Luckily my brother in-law was able to find the number and we gained entry. The cottage is amazing, comfortable, private has everything we needed. Short walk to the shops and pub, Mohill has a good Chinese and other takeaways. There is also Lough Rynne Castle for food etc and carrick on shannon is 11km away. The only issue I had with the cottage was when we arrived the previous tenants bed linen and towels were all washed but waiting to be dried and put away. Which I did, but was not impressed. Otherwise amazing stay, people of Mohill are very friendly and the Guinness at OâBriens pub is the best served by the wonderful lady Phil and amazing Becky. We will be back
