While extremely cute and sweet it was not made clear in the description specific to heat and effort which the customer must put in to maintain it. Be prepared to maintain a wood/coal fire, have space electric heaters on, and figure out electrical stove operation in order to stay at this location. It was 7 degrees Celsius the evening of our stay and the home owners directions were that any form of heat when leaving the cottage must be secured. All listed options for heat take hours to increase the air temperature to an acceptable level. We were informed of the electrical blankets after trying to contact the owner several times. Wood provided was extremely “green” and space heaters lacked the needed output to heat any space in the cottage while also being a fire hazard. The setting and location to visit Boyne Valley is nice. If visiting during heating season it is extremely uncomfortable and time consuming trying to use three different sources of heat which take time to be effective.
