John and Irene were kind hosts and gave many wonderful recommendations when it came to exploring around Ireland!
+ pros:
kind hosts with great knowledge of the area
great location - you will need a car to get around, but lots of different sites nearby to explore
adequate breakfast - Irene's homemade bread is tasty!
more affordable lodging option for travelers
- cons:
shared bathroom with hosts AND many other guests... I was aware of the shared bathroom sitaution (hosts were very clear about that in their listing), however I hadn't realized quite how many people we'd be sharing with. They have three airbnb rooms for rent! There were times I needed to use the bathroom and it was occupied.
bathroom lacked cleanliness
bedding and linens didn't seem to be very clean and honestly, unsure if they're laundered between guests! Lots of fuzzes and long hairs in the bedding when I had a look the first time
very cold room! I had requested that the heater in our room be turned on and the hosts did accomodate, however I think only for the first night. must've been in the 50s!
we opted to pay for dinner at the house... irish stew, bread, ect. I felt that it was overpriced at 10 euros per plate.
Overall, I'd give this place 3.5 stars. Very kind hosts, and I appreciated their hospitality, but truly didn't feel their home was set up for guests to have a comfortable stay. The lack of cleanliness, number of other guests, and cold room would rule this property out for me for next time.
