I am cynical of glowing reviews but in this case they are justified. I have stayed in many holiday homes in the UK and Europe and they often are filled with cheap furniture and the owner’s clutter.
This was the opposite, beautifully decorated and comfortable with good quality furniture, linens and fittings. The house is quite minimalist and clear with a few tasteful decorations. It felt very spacious even with 5 adults. The kitchen was well equipped, very comfy beds and the bathrooms had good showers and there was a nice bath.
It was a short drive from the town centre and it is walkable at a push. The street is very quiet despite being in a holiday area.
I showed the photos to several Irish relatives who were impressed - this is a cut above the usual holiday cottage.
