This is a very large property but in need of new interior paint with structural cracks on many internal walls which caused a little anxiety.
This property has NO WASHING MACHINE which is a massive issue when you are staying for 3 weeks with children with no clean towels and the hosts response was that there was a public wash facility in the local town.
The host wanted to do maintenance while I was there which wasn’t great due to the amount of money paid on the rental these kind of things should be done when the property isn’t rented out.
The utensils are in disrepair and there aren’t enough pans to cook a full dinner.
The drive way in very uneven which caused me to fall quite badly and I have some considerable damage to my knee.
There are a range of dvds which appear to be pirate copies.
The TV signal is really bad so most programms flicker on and off
The mobile reception is terrible
NO 3g or 4g connection so if you like internet access this isn’t the place for you (not the hosts fault but is an issue)
In a good location not far from Castlerea or Ballyhaunis which have the amenities which you need self catering
Gary is good at communicating but we found out that Gary isn’t the actual owner of the property so it would probably be for the best if the actual owner was the host.
No one was at the property to greet us on the day of arrival but I did get email at 11am on the day of departure to say that Gary’s Dad would be over at 12 to check us out but we had already left at around half 10 leaving the keys in the place we found them
Sorting a few issues would make this a great place to stay
