We enjoyed our stay at Tigh Mhamo. The house has all the equipment one would need and the views from the house are outstanding. The house had a homely, comfortable feel to it and it worked very well with our extended family, who were also staying locally, who came to visit us throughout the week.
Unfortunately, we had one big issue which was about the central heating. A stove and a log fire are in the the house if you want to use them. There is also central heating but no controls are in the house. You will have to contact the owner every time you want the heat on. We were asked what regular settings we would like. We knew that each day of our week could work out differently i.e.not sure whether we'd be in or out. However, we asked for 2 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the evening and hoped that this would cover us, as we did not want the inconvenience of contacting the owner every time. This request was refused and we were told we would only need 3 hours in the evening. This discouraged us from asking again, so we only requested the heating on one other occasion throughout the week, for an extra 2 hours as it was a particularly miserable day.
I would rather have paid extra than have the feeling that our movements were being watched.
At the upper end of rental charges, paying over €1300 for a week for 4 of us, (it would have been a lot more costly if 7 of us had stayed), I felt the heating system should have been a bit more convenient to use.
