Had a great stay in Pat's holiday cottage for New Years. We were greeted warmly by Catherine - the lady who manages the property and she was nothing but amazing. Even when one of the party had to work, she offered up her own kitchen for use of the wifi! Greeted with a warm house, coffee, biscuits and briquettes for the fire - we loved her added touches which made our stay incredibly comfortable. Saying that, the place will benefit from having more guests through airbnb - generally who will leave things such as washing detergent, excess dishwasher tablets and shower toiletries behind. This wasn't a big deal, but we did end up buying a few bits and bobs such as extra toilet paper and shampoo which are often available in Airbnb rentals.
We loved the location of the cottage. Walkable to Keel town in 5-10 minutes, you are close to the shop and a few pubs. Also only 5 minutes to the beach - we were able to run back to the house rapidly after our New Years Atlantic swim! Check in and out was easy and we were allowed to stay beyond the 10am check out time which was lovely. All in all I would highly recommend this cottage and cannot commend Catherine highly enough. Thanks for a wonderful entry to 2018!
