Pros:
Great location, short drive to the village of Doolin, cliffs of moher, lehinch, the burren.
The place was clean and the hosts followed covid cleaning guidelines, making us feel safe.
Pictures match description, cute Irish cottage with charm and beautiful views.
Hosts went above and beyond to provide local information - taxis, local food and drink etc.
Facilities to cook, big shower with clean towels.
Cons:
Bed was extremely uncomfortable. The bed was broken so it constantly creaked with every movement. The mattress was old and worn down, I could feel the springs. I ended up sleeping on the floor.
The cottage was very cold, and the hosts required guests to pay extra to use the heating if it went over their fair usage estimations. This deterred us from using the heating. As the cottage is old the heating was essential to heat the place. We felt that a warm place to stay is a basic requirement and guests should not have to choose between paying extra costs or staying in a cold house. The heating is also required to heat the water which is needed to use the shower and clean the dishes.
There were a lot of common sense rules posted around the property which took away from the home feel of the cottage.
Overall we had a nice stay but we were left feeling tired due to little sleep from the cold home and uncomfortable bed.
