Unfortunately , the property is in need of a good clean and updating. The cooking facilities are minimal and there is no hot water in the bathroom sink. The owner did change the settee throw when we mentioned there was dog hair on it.

Owners were lovely and acted promptly when sink cupboard door fell off! Property needs upgrading totally.

Being dog friendly was a big plus for us. We travelled long journeys every day so this location served our needs well. Such a quaint little place and Bridget and Fintan were such lovely hosts. For anyone who would live to experience a novel stay immersed in nature this is the place to go.
