La maison, au bout d'un chemin, est toujours très bien située et environnée : des lapins, des vaches, un renard et l'océan avec la baie de Galway. L'intérieur confortable aurait besoin de quelques améliorations ( robinetterie de la cuisine en particulier). Merci à Josie qui a pu remplacer le lecteur de DVD que nous avons trouvé cassé à notre arrivée.

I chose the cottage as it was pet friendly and my 2 great Danes had the BEST holiday...loved seeing the cows, lamas, sheep and hundreds of bunnies in the fields. There were some issues with the cottage but Josie responded immediately. If you like a firm mattress, then you'll be grand. The bathroom needs some attention and the cottage needs some tlc but despite this, I plan to return. Great value and certainly livable.

So there was a lingering smell throughout the house of sewage. The house boasts three bedrooms, but only one had a functioning radiator. Only when we raised the issue with the owner did a neighbor come to turn them on, with difficulty. As the knobs were gripped shut, having not been opened in a long time. Even one of the radiators had to be bled, to release the built up air! Items in the kitchen were not clean (i.e., hot water kettle), and the fridge freezer was packed with ice. The microwave did not work, and the dishwasher was full of washed dishes. This property turned out to be a big disappointment and certainly not worth the money paid.
