The upside Down House is a lovely little house with a most picturesque view of Aughris Head.
The house itself is nice and cosy. The Kitchen and living room are lovely and well equiped, so is the bathroom. They were all perfectly clean.
When walking into the bedroom however, there was a fierce smell of damp that came to meet us. There were some brown patches on the wall too, which made it obvious that dampness is clearly an issue.
It was late in the evening when we arrived with our 5 month-old baby. I had mentioned she'd be joining us, and it would have been nice to have found the bed for our daughter set up (literally just unfolded). After all, she was one of three people staying there!
The windows were wide open when we arrived, obviously to air the place. Even with Covid in the back of our minds, we think it would have been possible to have the windows in the bedroom closed and the heating on, knowing such a small baby was going to be sleeping there. She woke up absolutely frozen in the night, even after dressing her a lot warmer than usual.
We also found that the smell of damp got less over the days after having the heating on most of the time.
This makes us think, that the worst of the smell could have been avoided by better preparation. It was not a nice feeling having to sleep there, especially with an infant.
Having said this, Sheila was helpful when we asked for assistance when the Wifi wasnt working. When we asked to postpone our check out because our daughter became unwell just before leaving, she also facilitated us. We were very greatful for that.
