“Lovely, spacious and comfortable cottage.”
Well situated; very close to small town with supermarkets and restaurants.
To be fair, the cottage is not advertised as providing broadband. In all the cottages we have previously stayed in, broadband comes as a standard. This is not provided at Cappacurry and if you are coming from England, this needs to be borne in mind.
The cottage is advertised as having an oil fired stove, which can be enjoyed by visitors. However, in the info at the cottage, it asked visitors not to use the stove unless familiar with its workings; it then went on to give detailed instructions on how to operate it. Following that were underlined instructions not to use the stove. This needs to be clarified.
We didn't watch the TV, however, it's a very small screen for the size room.
On arrival, we were unable to use the kettle as the lid was firmly stuck down with limescale and the kettle was quite full of large pieces of limescale. Fortunately, we were able to prise the lid off, found some limescale remover in the cupboard and descaled the kettle.
The cottage was let down by general lack of cleanliness.
Overall, however, we had a lovely week. Beautiful views, horses , cattle and sheep around the cottage. Enjoyed the walk along the canal in Balinrobe and wonderful countryside further afield.
Thankyou.
On the evening before these guests left, we had a very amicable discussion about their holiday, no issue of complaint was raised with me. I explained that I had someone else prepare the cottage for their stay as I was indisposed. It is regrettable that the guests feel it necessary to put all up on line when there was opportunity to raise issues with me personally.
Access to broadband comes through the dongle and this was explained early in the visit.
When renting we made a considered decision about the TV, to keep it small all in an effort to get people away from screens.
Lime in the water is a constant for all residents of the area.
