Before I am critical, I should say the location is stunning and Peter is great host. If you rent one of the other locations on the premises I'm sure you'll have none of the issues I faced. This review is specifically for the Bird's Nest accomodation.
Firstly, it should be clear that the Bird's Nest accomodation is a bed in a shed. One of the photos on the profile lead me to believe that it was a little cabin.
But just so you know, it's a bed in a shed.
And a poorly insulated one at that.
There are massive gaps above and below the door. I had to stuff a towel along the top of the door and my own clothes along the bottom.
I hung another towel against the wall as the coastal winds can be felt blowing unfettered between every plank.
Once you do that, the plug in heater will heat the air up enough for you to fall asleep.
There are no curtains. The sea-facing wall is basically entirely glass. It boasts wonderful views but you'll have sunrise streaming into your room.
The shower is outdoors. On a cliff face. (In Ireland) There's a wooden easel as a makeshift shower curtain to shield your nudity from the other rental accomodations.
(Now, full disclosure, as one of the other houses on the premises was vacant for two of the days, I had use of an indoor shower facilities. When someone had been renting that house though, I was stuck washing myself in the crisp Atlantic winds)
The "kitchen" is outside and comprised of a miniature wine cooler a toaster and a kettle on a bench. There is also fire-grate BBQ thing (?!) and a hand sink. You're near enough to some lovely restaurants. Visit them.
The bathroom is about 150 meters from your front door, so when nature calls at 3am you better hope it's not raining. Which lets be honest, on the West Coast of Ireland, it probably will be. And it was.
This part of the world is wonderful. But be aware what you're getting here. Peter's lovely, and the view is spectacular, but this was 30 quid a night. I paid 90 quid to sleep in a shed for three days.
Stay in one Peter's houses instead, they have curtains.
