I booked this accommodation based on the glowing reviews about the warm welcome and the breakfast.
However, we saw Marcella only briefly on arrival and she was not around when we checked out after a three night stay.
Due to Covid breakfast was not provided and access to tea and coffee facilities was unavailable. The warm welcome including scones and tea / coffee and local information mentioned in reviews also didn’t happen.
This is understandable, but
if it had been more clearly indicated on the listing at the time of booking we could have come better prepared after a long drive.
The bathroom was clean and everything worked.
The bed was on the soft side and the furniture and decor was a little tired in places but adequate.
If you like a top sheet on the bed you will need to request one. Marcella messaged the wifi password on request but apart from that we didn’t hear from her.
It was very quiet at night and the walk to the local village took about 10 minutes on a sealed road in a nice rural setting.
There is no supermarket nearby so stocking up on bottled water and snacks before arrival is recommended if covid restrictions are still in place.
The Fitzgerald cafe in the village offers a friendly welcome and a lovely breakfast. The Ivy Cottage is recommended for evening meals and friendly service.
