The accommodation is somewhat isolated, some 25 minutes walk from the shops or restaurants in Kilronan. The airport will arrange transport to and from the accommodation, l ikewise the ferry. Given the isolation and that there is no welcome pack (no milk, bread, tea, sugar etc) visitors should be advised to bring all their food with them when they first arrive.
The accommodation is described as ‘self-catering’ with a ‘kitchen’ but as there is no oven, no microwave, no toaster etc, just a kettle and a single ring plug-in induction hob – it’s really only sufficient for warming food rather than any basic cooking . I found it impossible to get the hob to work and since there were no instructions for it, I gave up trying and had to eat cold soup. There is an electric meter which takes 2 Euro pieces which had enough for my short visit.
The entire loft in reality is a small room with en-suite shower/toilet, no curtains so I suspect in summer it might be difficult to sleep. The glass panel in the front door would allow anyone opposite to see right into the room, a net curtain might help with privacy. The bed is small with no space for a bedside table or light, you have to get up and switch off the main light to go to sleep.
There is a small TV. The Wi-Fi reception is poor, though there is better Wi-Fi elsewhere on the island if needed.
There are no maps, guides or other visitor information. The outside steel fire escape is the main access to the room and is over three stories high so those who have problems with mobility will need to take it steady going up the (30) steps.
