    No negative points, just some things to note: the property is quite remote so a car is definitely needed, but less than 10 minutes drive to local villages. Directions provided were very helpful and we had no difficulty finding it. This is a lovely studio apartment, perfect for short stays. There is only a kitchenette, but the hosts had provided plenty of provisions to manage easily without a full kitchen. There is also no television, but the WiFi was excellent, so we were quite happy watching streamed services. A very enjoyable stay.

    Extremely clean and cosy, immaculately decorated with beautiful sea views from the terrace. The bed was very comfortable. Carol and Seamus were very kind and helpful hosts and had left lots of very thoughtful breakfast items which was much appreciated. Would have loved to have stayed longer!

    Good private accommodation, but owner should provide directions to find it

    Finding the property wasn't easy. We had already messaged Carol twice via the booking app, and were assured she would send directions to us. She never did. We messaged again a few hours before arrival, but the reply was only "the key is in the door". We had an Eirecode which took us to the nearest known village Kilcar. I asked a bar man in the pub, and he said it's two miles out of the village and hard to find, but gave us directions to a hostel near to it. At the hostel we eventually found someone who knew where it was.

    Very pleasant, private annexe to a family house. Essentially a bedroom with kitchenette area, and sliding door to small bathroom with shower. The view from outside was lovely. The owner Carol was friendly.

    It’s on a very remote road but Eircode finder works well.

    I arrived late as a rather battered cyclist and I was given a wonderful welcome by Carol and Seamus. Above and beyond. Perfect.

    The apartment we stayed in, Carol's place, was so clean and adorable.. and Carol was so kind and thoughtful to put some extras. Like bagel, freshly squeeze orange juice butter and jam. Almost all breakfast is there.even our booking has no breakfast included. We are very surprised. Thank you so much, agian Carol!!!

    Cozy! But difficult to reach.

    The location and how to find the house was very complex. In Ireland there is something called Eire code and the owner sent us once we asked and once we were in the nearby city and a bit lost, so if you are going there by car, remember to ask for clear instructions on how to get there so you can go by the easy way, instead of the one that goes through the farms, specially at night.

    The room was very clean and cozy. The owner was really nice and helpful telling us the wifi code and how to use the shower which was was pretty easy. There is a fully equipped kitchen in the bedroom and the owner left some food in there for us to have breakfast.

    Communication can be improved a bit, the shower was not that intuitive for us to use and it would be helpful to have some instructions beforehand. We arrived at night and we didn’t know where the house was, we needed to ask help to a guy in a house nearby. A few more instructions will be definitely appreciated by travellers! Products for the breakfast can be improved too as they were a bit old.

    The cottage is very cozy, it is possible to enjoy the nature and the silence around. It is very clean and the possibility of a late check-in is definitely a plus, especially when doing a road trip. Very clean and well maintained! Perfect for a night stay while travelling around Ireland.
