Could do with a small shelf in shower to hold shampoo bottles, etc, as what is there is too small and not much room to bend down in shower to get shampoo bottles from the floor. Thanks

It is in a rural location and was very quiet and peaceful. The instructions to find the cottage were very clear which was extremely useful and the small queries we had were dealt with very quickly by Stuart and Sally. A very enjoyable holiday in a lovely area of Ireland. Would definitely recommend.

House is really well set up. Grounds are beautiful, and the house is a short drive to loads of local activities. Caves were incredibe. Mattresses were not good though, ended up with quite a sore back. New mattressand a couple of fans for the bedrooms in the warmer weather would be perfect.
