We had a wonderful stay in this cosy cottage. It was a great home to experience life in a thatched cottage...the uneven floors, thick walls/windowsills, lower door frames, small common areas/bedrooms, etc. Small does not mean uncomfortable or amenity-free...to the contrary, everything you need is there. Music? CD player. Wet hair? Hair dryer. Beds? Very comfortable. Workspace in the kitchen is limited, so I was not ambitious re meal prep, but everything you need is there. Charlie was there when we arrived to show us around the house. The home was very comfy, and the floor radiant heat served to warm the house effectively, and all was in good working order. One unusual need for us was the need to turn on a water heater in advance of using the shower, but it was not a big deal...Charlie explained how to do this. Delicious treats were left for us, and we were well provisioned for a yummy breakfast. Charlie left us a thoughtful lengthy note re logistics after conferring with us about our interests and the things we wanted to do while in the area. Very helpful. One of our needs while at the home was to do some accumulated laundry. The home is in a small complex of like homes, and the laundry was in a separate common area up the road from the home we were in. This at first confused me, but a quick call to Dearbhaill cleared up my confusion. Thanks, Charlie and Dearbhaill, for making our stay so nice!
