Host claimed house had been deep cleaned by professionals but kitchen wasn't even clean by normal standards, never mind Covid-19 standards. Light switches were black with fingerprints, oven was rusty with a dirty pan stuck to the oven rack with melted plastic. Drawers were so full of dirty implements you couldn't close them. Dirty plates in the cupboards. Etc. We contacted owner who blamed cleaner. The cleaner said she'd told the owner the place wasn't Airbnb standard, and that she was told to leave the dirty chip pan full of smelly oil with floating bits on the countertop hob.
The bedrooms appeared clean enough, and we made the best of our holiday, eating out. We washed plates cups & cutlery for ourselves for breakfast (but even the washing equipment was dirty, with flattened scrub brush and dirt pooled in the holder) and bought toilet paper as there was none.
Schull is a beautiful place, and we had a great time (as we have the other 15+ times we've been there on holiday) but it's the first time we've been disappointed by our accommodation. This was a money grab at around €250/night for 2 bedrooms . The owner was defensive when we told her about the dirty kitchen& rusty oven & just refunded the cleaning fee & €30 for lack of toliet paper etc. and asked US to put on a wash with any teatowels & towels we'd used before we left. (The towels - when we located them- were pretty substandard too. There were just a couple of thin football towels. Luckily we'd brought our own.) We won't be back to this particular rental, and do not feel it should be allowed as a rental in these Covid-19 times when it is important to CLEAN. There was also no welcome note or notes about the house. It was our first time on holiday since Feb and while walking Sheep's Head was glorious, our accommodation & host were not.
