Margaret - 09/16/2026

Spacious. The owner tried hard to please

All the beds in Ireland are too small.

Franck - 08/27/2026

Comfortable and charming cottage, well-equipped kitchen, modern bathroom, cozy wood stove. Spacious and bright room with good linens. Quiet location despite some traffic nearby.

A little humidity and the beginnings of mold in the house, despite the heating (stove and radiators) used daily and regular ventilation. Better ventilation or a more efficient dehumidifier would be welcome.
