Beautiful, quaint little cottage! My husband and I made pies in the oven and enjoyed sitting outside. It was very charming and looks EXACTLY like the pictures. You can see the water from where the cottage is situated. Using the fireplace was an interesting experience but it was fun! Be sure to understand exactly how to use it before trying. And The kitchen is just so cute! There are some instant coffee packets and tea packets. No coffee pot or regular coffee but I did see a French press if you wanted to bring your own coffee to press!
My only warning is the heat. They were gracious to let us arrive late (we got in after midnight) by leaving the cottage open for us. When we arrived it was freezing! Felt like the same temperature as outside. So we turned on the heat, wore sweatpants and sweatshirts, and went to sleep. We slept well because the heat kept the cottage warm throughout the night. The problem is every hour you run the heat, there is a charge. If you like a warm place to stay, just be prepared that the 3.50 euro quoted is only for 1 hour usage of heat in the morning and at night. We were only there just over a full day and our charge was going to be 24 euro (for 13 hours of heat used). Phil counts the hours used at the end of your stay which is how the charge is decided on. Be prepared if you expect to use the heat for more than an hour or 2 per day. I would not have used the heat any less because I would have been cold. All other places we stayed in Ireland keep the heat on 24/7 so that's what I expect on vacation - a cosy warm stay.
All in all it's a wonderful home that I highly recommend! It's super cute and it is very secluded to eat breakfast outside on the picnic table. But if you run cold and like to have he heat on, just be sure to budget for it and you'll be fine!!! 13 hours of heat cost 24 euro.
