The space is bright, really clean and stylishly decorated. There is a log stove that keeps the place warm. The room is a large mezzanine with a double and single bed - the stairs to the mezzanine are a bit steep so it wouldn't be suitable for people with mobility issues.
The house is located in a rural area about 3 mins drive from Cong. It is possible to walk to Ashford Castle and Cong from the house in about 30 mins by using a steep path from the lake that joins a long straight path through the forest.
The facilities were perfect. Our hosts were welcoming and easy to contact and deal with. Their house is next door so they were able to help us with anything we needed. A nice touch is that you can text the hosts to light the fire before you come home in the evenings so that the house is warm. All in all we had a great trip and felt that the house was good value for money.
