The house has a great view of Sheephaven Bay. However, if you are staying over a weekend, it will be affected by the constant traffic on the road directly in front of the house. We stayed from a Friday to a Thursday. The traffic Friday to Sunday was constant from early morning until the late evening, but was much better from Monday to Thursday, but still traffic. There are no posted speed limit signs, so if you are out walking the half mile road, you are dodging cars frequently. The listing said it was walkable to Dunfanaghy, the nearby town about a 2 miles from the house. You have to walk on the N11 and again it's heavy traffic and we only tried it once, before turning back. The owner mentioned a path to town, but with no directions until we spoke with her and then we found the path. However it's Ireland and the path had several large portions covered in water. If you have a car, then the location will for going into town. There wasn't a microwave, and coming from the USA, we made the assumption there would be one. That is our fault for not noticing it missing from the listing. While there was a guide for the house, it was missing directions for using the laundry, stove, oven, dishwasher, and closing up the house. It took some time to figure things out, but we managed. When we entered the house 2 smoke alarms were dangling from the house, but were connected, until one completely fell off. I did speak to the host, and she offered to have someone come and fix it. But one was still up, and we just didn't want to deal with a handyman and wait around. There were other issues, and we did contact the host and discussed them with her. Overall, the house is fine, if you go during the week to avoid the traffic and have a car to get into town. The house was clean, lots of room and a nice view.
