Very dirty and most certainly not Covid compliant.
Sadly our experience was ruined due to the filth of the house. The house has most certainly seen better days and is very rundown but the big concern was how dirty so many surfaces were (and I mean dirt that has built up over time) which made us extremely uneasy about staying there.
There was thick hand grease and other stains around all of the door handles, there were balled up used tissues left under one of the single beds, a pair of used under pants behind one of the dressers, a wad of dirty toilet paper behind one of the bedroom doors, the bottom of the fridge hadn't been cleaned, nor had the oven in many, many months and the cutlery was all lying in filth in the cutlery drawer. The pots and pans all have a layer of grease on them and there was no tin foil provided to cover them.
In fact there were very few provisions.
The curtains in the main bedroom are flimsy and offer very little privacy, all the bed linen has seen better days and to top it all off both my partner and I ended up being bitten multiple times in the bed.
There are spiders and spider webs EVERYWHERE!
We were only there for a few days with our children and I didn't want to use that time complaining to the host. I contacted him asap as per Airbnb guidelines and the oven did get cleaned but tbh they would have had to clean the whole place from top to bottom for us to feel comfortable there so I cleaned what I needed to myself and asked for the cleaning fee to be returned to me - all of which the host did without complaint. I should have asked for part of the fee to be refunded to but I didn't want to upset anyone.
I honestly don't understand the positive reviews this listing gets. Yes, the view is lovely but this is Ireland - we have fab views everywhere.
I've stayed in many types of accommodation both in Ireland and abroad but this is by far one of the dirtiest.
There are plenty of nicer (and cleaner) homes on offer in Ireland for less money.
Sadly this was a very negative experience for me and my family.
