Yes close to town, but of 7 lovely Irish AirBNB’s we stayed in, we can not recommend this one. And that is a first for me.
When you walk in the front door you are hit with a smell of mold. There are water stains on be bedroom ceiling. And even opening windows doesn’t help get rid of the musty smell likely from the carpets. Three of the four in our party had allergic reactions to the mold and we had to cancel our stay for health reasons as a result of the mold.
But then there was also the exterior light on the building across from the bedrooms. The light was on some motion sensor that meant our bedrooms were lit up like runways every time some animal like a cat or bat passed by. The blinds didn’t help. Felt like we were awoken a dozen times before 3am each time the light went on or off.
There were other minor issues like the stove in the primary photo for the place is broken. With a sign stating “ please do not open stove door, it will cause damage and be reimbursed by the guest”. Fortunately we did not need the stove for heat. But why advertise a unusable wood stove if the guest can’t even touch it?
Finding the place was a little tricky. The Eircode got us closest. But the place is hidden from the road by a hedge. You will see the place the second you pull into the driveway. Unfortunately we drove up 3 different neighbor’s drives before pulling into the correct drive.
It was a shame because the place has the potential to be a great place to stay. The kitchen was clean and well supplied. The bathroom is modernized and also well supplied.
