A nice house a short walk from the centre of the lovely town of Portumna, Portumna Forest Park and the Shannon, located in a quiet housing development. It is clean, well furnished and nicely decorated and contained all essentials for a short break and was warm and cosy. However, the window blind cords hang loose, rather than being looped through a safety catch. The dangers of loose-hanging blind cords are well known and it is easy to alter them so that choking hazards are removed. Also the upstairs windows could be fully opened so that a child could climb out. There were a number of items around the house that could do with tightening up, such as towel rails and taps, particularly the kitchen tap, which rotated completely whenever the spout was moved, while a bathroom tap continued to flow when closed. These are simple repairs to make. Could do with more saucepans; we had to use what looked like oven dishes as we couldn't see any saucepans with non-heat-conducting handles. However the handles on these got extremely hot.
