We stayed in the cottage for three nights. The cottage is 15 minutes walk from the sea and 3 minutes from the village, where you can find a couple of cafes and restaurants. The interior is authentic and cosy. The log burner creates a warm atmosphere for family evenings.
Liam showed us around and gave some advice on the area. He was fairly quick to respond to our messages when we had issues with the internet.
As for our experience in the house, we didn't feel very welcome. It was communicated to us through a series of things:
- there was only a couple of sheets left in the only toilet roll in the house
- there was very little soap on the very bottom of the soap dispenser
- for three sinks there was just 2 soap dispensers
- we had to ask for towels!
- and for 4 of us we were given only 3 towels
- the fridge was leaking and there was no mop in the property, we had to ask for a mop!
Of course, we could have asked for all these things, but we were not there to be on the phone to the owner asking for things after we paid 480 for three nights. Also, we already spent more time liaising with him when the internet wouldn't work than we would prefer.
I am not sure why these basic things were not available in adequate amounts however, taking into consideration that we also had to pay for the electricity, we were under impression that the owner intended to squeeze as much as possible from letting these cottages, without providing much. Therefore, we felt taken advantage of.
We're definitely not coming back and would not recommend staying there unless this changes.
