The cottage is exactly as you would expect from the description and the pictures. The only disadvantage is its distance from nearby pubs and restaurants, which was a bit too far to walk. Now, I like a beer with my food but Irish regulations will not allow me to drink a few beers more if I need to drive back. So that was a problem in terms of going out for dinner.
However, this is our mistake (and not the hsotess) as it is only after experiencing this problem of distance, that we will take it into account when we book our next airbnb.
