House not quiet as listed.Comfortable & homely but level of cleanliness very disappointing.Also not suitable for a person with a disability. Suggestions : Down stairs toilet would be very beneficial. Chair & mirror in all bedrooms needed. Wardrobes need replacing & one bedroom had no wardrobe. Light in bathroom flickering & taps loose. Generally,property needs some maintenance. All said I did enjoy my stay at this property & nice neighbours.

Two wine glasses and 5 dessert spoons for 6 guests. The bathrooms weren't cleaned or clean and plugs didn't fit,shower trim dirty and broken. We had to bleach and clean before we could use them. Nightlight didn't work. No safety mat in the bath for showering. Third bedroom had no wardrobe or hanging space. There was no folder with the usual helpful information on locality and house equipment. It would have helped us locate the switches for hot water and use of internet, which took time. I hope that Sykes takes on these comments so that another holiday isn't spoilt. I expect a reply from the company as this is a big issue and with careful inspection should never happen. We had come to expect a good service but have been badly let down. This could not have been inspected by Sykes and should not be available for a holiday let, It was not the standard we expect from the company.

We found the house to be cozy and communication with the owner was quite easy. No issues checking in or out. The home was within walking distance of the downtown shops and pubs. We especially enjoyed our time at Buggleâs Pub. The owner, Carmel, was on site and extremely friendly and the traditional music was an added bonus. We would recommend the Killimer Road House to others.
