    “This cottage has great potential but sadly is in a poor state of repair and needs a deep clean.”

    The location is perfect for exploring Achill island and Co Mayo. I can attach photos to backup my comments. The 3 toilets have a poor flush and take an age to fill. The toilet roll holder in each toilet is broken. The en-suite bathroom was dirty on our arrival and has a particularly mouldy shower curtain. Both the en-suite and main bedroom windows are broken, once opened fall off one of the hinges and are very difficult to close. We only opened them once in case they totally broke. Most of ...

    The location is perfect for exploring Achill island and Co Mayo. I can attach photos to backup my comments. The 3 toilets have a poor flush and take an age to fill. The toilet roll holder in each toilet is broken. The en-suite bathroom was dirty on our arrival and has a particularly mouldy shower curtain. Both the en-suite and main bedroom windows are broken, once opened fall off one of the hinges and are very difficult to close. We only opened them once in case they totally broke. Most of the windows must have seals in poor condition as the inside of the double glazed units are very dirty. Most of the curtains are missing hooks so do not close and hang well. One window is even missing a curtain. There are large cobwebs and dead insects around the property. The vertical blinds in the living room are broken and cannot be fully opened. The hearth and fireplace had not been emptied. There was no lid for the bin in the kitchen which meant smelly waste. The chopping board is dirty/mouldy. The grill pan and oven are very dirty so I had no desire to use them. Outside there are 2 broken chairs and I found broken glasses which I did lift as we had our dog with us. In the information folder in the cottage there is a section regarding rubbish explaining about what to put in the blue and green wheely bins outside. Beside our cottage no. 5 we had a large yellow bin marked no. 6, it was nearly full on our arrival. There where no instructions on which day to put the bins out by the roadside for collection and no one else came to do it so it is now

About the location

KEEL, COUNTY MAYO

Achill Sound 8.7 miles, Mallaranny 17.6 miles, Newport 27.9 miles

The County Durham village of Coundon is situated in one of the most beautiful counties of England, with a mining history which dates back to 1350. A short drive to the east brings you to bustling town of Bishop Auckland, elevated above the River Wear and known as the Gateway to Weardale. The town centre hosts an arts complex should you be in search of a bit of culture, whilst there’s a range of independent shops to peruse, where you’re certain to find the perfect holiday keepsake. On the outskirts of the town you can wander the ancient stones of the Binchester Roman Fort, the largest in the county or perhaps experience a magnificent evening of North East storytelling at Kynren, a seven acre stage with pyrotechnics, stunning lighting and water effects all part of the mix. A little further afield there are the delights of Barnard Castle with its cobbled streets and medieval castle towering over the River Tees, head north to Durham City home to the magnificent Cathedral, with its breath-taking vaulted ceiling and splendid architecture. The cathedral, the final resting place of the Venerable Bede, is one of the finest examples of Norman architecture in the whole of Europe. Durham Castle stands side by side with the cathedral, on a prominent hilltop site, encircled by the wooded slopes of the River Wear below. The city itself offers elegant buildings and fascinating narrow streets with excellent shopping, eating and drinking to suit all tastes. Beautiful walking country is within easy reach of this village, with the North Pennines just a few miles away, whilst an array of interesting towns and a wealth of historic attractions can all be found within an easy drive.
