I needed peace and quiet after some tough years and much-awaited time off from work, and this place allowed me to have the best sleep I've had in a long time! Even on days when I wasn't out and about, the house was wonderful in which to simply sit and relax, watch TV or use WiFi on a laptop. Internet speeds were also mostly very good considering the rural location; I had no problems with disconnections, other than some slowdown at the odd hour.
Microwave, kettle and oven worked perfectly for all sorts. A friend who popped over, who is usually very particular about pizza, remarked how well the oven made it! I was extremely happy to have my usual warm breakfast every day, which was never possible in hotels. I also found the tap water to taste good, especially for fridge bottling overnight. The opportunity to recycle plastics afterwards and paper was another welcome sight.
Very important for me was the shower, which worked really well and had strong water pressure. Advice for anyone unfamiliar with an electric shower unit: for an instant warm/hot shower, turn the first knob to the RIGHT (two red lines), and the second knob (which controls temperature) almost all the way to the LEFT (cold arrow), then make small adjustments to suit.
Lastly, my sincerest thanks to Robert and Susan for providing such a well-kept, organised, clean, tidy and – above all – quiet home for me to spend my fourth visit in Ireland. I am already looking forward to coming back for another stay!
