Colin’s property was a great find. The cottage itself is very quiet, with a lovely spacious open plan kitchen which is great if you plan on cooking during your stay. There’s a big fridge and freezer - and we ordered a few Tesco deliveries whilst isolating from the UK. The garden is wide enough to get the sun throughout the day (there is a kind gardener who came most days to work on the area). The area surrounding the accommodation is very nice - approx 1 mile to the Clontarf promenade which is a lovely place for a walk. It’s also very close to Killester station, so it’s very easy to get into town via the Dart (train - 3 stops to Pearse). It has to be noted how quickly Colin and co. reply to issues. It feels like he is around most the time to help out if anything goes awry. The YouTube videos to help one check-in was a god send. We arrived at midnight and because I watched the videos prior to arrival, check in was seamless.
The beds are very comfortable, and each room has enough cupboard space.
Small/minor areas of improvement.. more wine glasses or pots/pans to cook, as I’m sure those who book this accommodation are looking to stay in most nights (it sleeps 6, so one wine glass seems a bit minimal). Also, there is no terrestrial or sky TV as listed. The host tried to sort this out very quickly, to their credit, but only provided a NowTV dongle which didn’t solve the issue.
