Feels really safe which is wonderful. Beds and mattresses very comfortable- which is everything!! Had beautiful carrot cake left for us on arrival by host Orla- such a kind and thought full touch and gesture. If there was to be one thing I'd " in a critically nice way say" - the power in the shower is weak, hard to wash long hair! Would however recommend this property -, overall excellent - have stayed in properties over the past 10 years throughout Ireland and this is up at the Top- enjoyed our stay!
