As the restrictions lifted ever so slightly, my husband and I desperately needed some getaway time! Carmel’s place was so perfect! Quaint, cosy, and beautifully decorated, it had everything we needed and we felt right at home.
I do have one serious con though. There was no central heating. Yes, there in an indoor wood stove, but in a matter of minutes the whole house was filled with smoke! It wasn’t venting properly, so we weren’t able to fully enjoy it. Also, there is a black wall heater, and that didn’t work either! We spent an hour trying to work it, as we were freezing cold, and to no avail. I let Carmel know and she had her son come out and give us another small heater. But with not enough plugs in the house, we weren’t able to use it! The bedroom was lovely and warm, with an electric blanket! So we were freezing each day until we went to bed. With the cold, stormy weather, being able the stay warm is a must!
However, that was just one downside. Everything else was lovely, and we enjoyed ourselves.
