A group of six of us, 2 mums and 4 teenagers, stayed in Louise's Childwall Cottage from Monday - Friday. We got perfect directions and were met by Louise's husband, Jim, and the welcoming party of dogs! Jim showed us around and gave us information about heating, hot water, wifi, the games room, etc. He was also available every day at the end of the phone if we needed anything or had any questions. We did have a small issue with a trip switch, and he sorted it out straightaway.
The cottage was perfect for our needs and we all had plenty of space. The shower in the main bathroom was fab with hot water on demand, so everyone got a perfect shower. There was a downstairs loo also. We had Sky TV and a selection of games in the living room area, not that we spent a lot of time there. The cottage is ideally located for touring the South East, and we got to see a lot of places while we were there. Our hosts provided local information and Jim was on hand for recommendations on places to see or eat.
The garden is also lovely, great for kids and teenagers, and a real sun-trap. I really enjoyed heading out to the picnic table for a quiet morning cuppa before anyone else was up - joined usually by a dog or two! Smaller children will enjoy visiting the hens and ducks. We all enjoyed the fresh eggs provided as part of the welcome pack!
I really think that Childwall Cottage is my favourite of the Irish airbnb's that I have stayed in, and the rest of the party agreed with me. As I said to Jim before we left, it's usually the case that when you arrive at a place, it's a let-down from the pictures. It was definitely the opposite for Childwall Cottage! We would all love to go back and I'm recommending it to all my friends.
