    “Very comfortable house and beds and very clean.”

    Few maintenance issues with the hot water but that was out of their control and they fixed it as soon as they could get a plumber in. We couldnt connect to the wifi but the connection up there is strong so we were able to use our phones so that wasnt a problem for us. As other reviews said theres no microwave so if you have baby food etc that might be an issue and theres no airer, although there is a drier which we had to use daily because of the weather, an airer could have been a more ...

    Few maintenance issues with the hot water but that was out of their control and they fixed it as soon as they could get a plumber in. We couldnt connect to the wifi but the connection up there is strong so we were able to use our phones so that wasnt a problem for us. As other reviews said theres no microwave so if you have baby food etc that might be an issue and theres no airer, although there is a drier which we had to use daily because of the weather, an airer could have been a more economic option and we could have left to dry naturally while we were out for the day instead of having to use the drier in the evenings when we got back. Great base for Waterville and the stunning Derrynane beaches (20mins) if you get the weather. All in all a pleasant stay and would come back.
