The cottage is lovely and remote. The drive up from Galway is on thin rural roads which are absolutely stunning. We passed some of the most beautiful areas in Co.Sligo on the way.
Sheila was quick to reply, offered us early check in, and very quickly remedied something with the shower herself.
In our month or so traveling in Ireland this was the first place we’ve stayed where the heat was via kerosine / oil boiler, and admittedly we’re not used to it. But there was a really strong smell of gasoline in the bedroom, even hours after the heater was turned off, so much so that we decided to leave early. Sheila sent someone to check it out after we’d left and didn’t find any apparent issues but it did wake us up and was strong enough to cause concern. We only had the heat on a few hours total out of the 2 days we stayed so it was pretty surprising to us, but hopefully it’s not a recurring issue or gets fixed if it is.
