So- starting with a positive - the hist kindly rearranged this holiday for us when it had to be cancelled due to a change in covid rules but having been to 50?+ air B and Bs this was clearly our worst experience to the extent I rearranged our ferry home and left on Thursday- 2 days early.
The weather was poor- it is the west coast of ireland- but the high winds meant very cold drafts throughout the house and scattered rubbish across the property.
The main issues we had (there were too many to mention) are:
A) it was Cold- the heating was set on a timer- boxed, locked and not changeable and even with the fire (fuel we had to provide) the house was uncomfortable to exist and sleep in
B) Hot Water- there was not enough for a bath at any point despite a new jacuzzi bath. Enough for 2 short 3-5 minute showers before it went cold- then a wait until more water- this is a house designed for 6-8 people….?
C) Internet - there was very limited connectivity despite advertising otherwise. I mean refreshing a webpage, accessing social media was very challenging / not possible- used my own data for the full trip
D) TV/ Media- not accessible through the tv setup- as someone with the full setup at home and capability to use and setup the tv system didn’t have even local tv never mind Netflix. Loads of dvds which we did. Use.
My wife became Ill with a cold during the stay and my communication asking how to gain more heat/ hot water was met with ‘don’t touch our system/ you can’t / use the fire / you are lucky JB have you our home after you cancelled’
The location was challenging to find and is isolated and walking retracted to roads due to barbed wire fencing but at least it was reasonably quiet.
If you are looking for an isolated, media/ internet free place - go in the summer months for warmth and have short occasion showers this is your place - if you can find it ….
