| "The cottage was very nice and had everything on-hand to make our stay pleasant and comfortable.
It was in a nice location but one would need a car to get anywhere, not within walking distance to any amenities. It didnt bother us one bit, in fact it was very nice to be away from everything and everyone.
Youghal is an absolutely beautiful town and has everything you would need to amuse children and enjoy yourself.
Would definitely recommend."

| "The cottage is very quaint but would benefit from some home comforts being added. The linen is old and tired.
The newly fitted cooker only had 2 rings working, no grill or oven. Should have been tested before we arrived.
The heating was not working when we arrived. The caretaker told us that equipment outside had been re-located to accommodate building a patio, he got it working. The next day he came to see us and we said the heating had been on all day to which he said we could not do this as we would burn something out. We turned it off next day when going out and tried to turn it on again on returning, it was not working again. The caretaker got it going. This could all have been avoided if the heating had been tested before we arrived.
The day before we were due to leave the caretaker asked us what time we were vacating the property. We said 1130am, he asked us to leave at 1015am as the cleaners were coming in. We ended up going at 1030am. NO CLEANERS IN SIGHT !!!!!!!
Unhappy to have paid good money for the poor standard & service.
Would not recommend to anyone I know, better places to stay."

"The cottage is in a fairly isolated location but this is by no means a criticism, provided that guests are aware that a car is essential. There is a Garden Centre with a restaurant within about 30 minutes walk but its a good 5-10 minute drive to reach the nearest bar/restaurant as such. The cottage itself was a disappointment and some blame for this must be directly attributable to the rave reviews I read on site which classified the property as 4+*. My personal grading would place it in a 2-3* category. There is no doubt in my mind that the cottage could be a gem but a considerable amount of work needs to be done to the decor and the furnishings(bed linen etc) are definitely past their prime. The cottage appears to be well equipped with a fridge/freezer, electric oven, microwave and dishwasher in the property (none of which I used so cannot comment) and a new washing machine and condenser dryer in an outside shed which I did use and was perfectly acceptable. In summary, the cottage served its purpose for my wife and I (on a partial business trip) but until the points Ive raised above are resolved, I would not contemplate a holiday booking."
Owner reply:
:
I am sorry that you didnt enjoy your stay so much as others have done. A new cooker is being installed and we will visit shortly to review the furnishings etc. However, it is a country cottage for which we charge in low season only £100 a week, with heating (which costs us some £30) and cleaning (a further £25) already included. We will sort out the bed linen etc. to a reasonable standard.

| "This is an over 200 year old cottage. It is very cozy and quaint with hardwood. It does not have a telephone but does have good cell reception and you can sign up for wireless internet through Eircom at the airport and it should work fine. Tony who looks after the cottage is just a couple of doors down and more than willing to answer any questions you might have or provide you with suggestions on places to go, eat ect. We completely enjoyed our time, and the cottage is wonderful. It is very small and cozy but felt like home away from home. We cant wait to go back!"

| "very nice accommodations...we wanted to experience "Ireland", and thats what we got...tasteful and quaint...diminutive open kitchen / living area...wood/peat/coal burning stove...very comfortable beds in the three bedrooms...on a back road in farm country, yet 10 minutes to Youghal, for restaurants, supplies and groceries...Mr. Tony Fitzgerald, the caretaker, is delightful and an excellent resource for any questions you might have about your stay in Ireland...make sure you ask him for directions to the beach down the road...we had a great time..."

"A lovely little cottage in a quiet area; the description on the website is accurate and our family of 4 enjoyed it. The only criticism I have is that the directions on how to get there are not quite accurate or detailed enough."
Owner reply:
:
I have modified the directions after discussion with this visitor; I hope that they are now clearer.
