Great house but some disappointing issues
House and contents in general were absolutely fantastic and views were superb. Lots of positives but negatives would include almost inaccessible driveway and grass too long for kids to play on. Biggest disappointment was the fact that the heating and hot water did not work for the first 24hrs and, although the owners were fairly quick to remedy the problem, there was not one apology given despite the fact that I was asked to go the boiler and fix it myself and the phone numbers provided at the location for the local assistance were unobtainable.

Wonderful property
We had a fantastic stay at Aodhan’s family property - it was perfect for us and had everything we needed. Spotless clean and lots of places to relax and chill out.
