Things that were great: location was awesome, Sinead's responsiveness was great. Quiet neighbourhood.
Things that couldn't be avoided: key to get in was not turning properly, Sinead was there in 5 minutes to get it sorted out. Biggest issue - fire alarm went off every 30 minutes from 645 in the morning until we left that morning. Luckily Sinead answered and got us the code but was annoying nonetheless but unavoidable I think, just one of those things.
Why not a 5 star: some basic things were missing - baking sheets in particular, instructions to run the oven (in general, the oven is not our style, old school and takes forever to heat up and cool down; we cook a lot so would be helpful to know from the outset), instructions for the radiator (we're spoiled and like it warmer and especially with an infant), in general the place was a little 'cottage' which I guess fits with the title, but I think we missed the mark in our booking, and should've gotten something more modern with more modern amenities.
In general, the place was very nice, Sinead's responsiveness was second to none, the place just wasn't our style.
