No hot water for (nice big) bathtub or shaving was annoying & disappointing. Never before in 40 years of travel have we been without hot water. The host did say he would turn on the water heater in the morning (for shaving), but there was no hot water when I shaved at 7am. Otherwise, everything else was OK. Host (Albert) was pleasant, the location is about 20 minute walk from 'downtown' Malahide.
