Many guests found the cottage clean and comfortable, but several reviews mention issues such as dust, stained bedding, and the need for a deep clean. Some guests had to clean upon arrival, and there were occasional complaints about broken furniture and a non-functioning vacuum cleaner.
The location is consistently described as outstanding, with breathtaking views, tranquillity, and easy access to beaches, mountains, and local pubs. Guests loved the rural setting and proximity to walking trails and attractions.
Guests generally found the cottage spacious, cosy, and well-suited for families and groups, with comfortable beds and plenty of room. A few noted that the living room could use more seating and that the downstairs could be chilly without the fire.

The hous was lovely, had everything we needed, very comfortable and very spacious and amazing views all around the house and the garden is beautiful and very well kept, We will 100% be back again, we had such an amazing holiday, with Dingle only a short drive away and the beach down the road and Mount Brandon itself, it was all just amazing.
