Beautiful farmhouse in an Irish countryside
Guests speak highly about the ambiance of this place! It is a wonderful farmhouse on a spacious land surrounded by large fields, and has a dairy farm where you can see cows roaming in the open fields. Furthermore, the rooms here are quaint and spacious.
positive:
Host who treats guests as family
Almost all the guests praised the property's outstanding host. Brenda, together with her husband Michael, is very warm and caring. They catered for all the needs of their guests including restaurant suggestions/reservations, directions/recommendations for sightseeing. In addition, she cooked excellent breakfast. Guests even felt welcomed and at home the moment they arrived the place!
positive:
Superb Irish breakfast!
The Irish breakfast served in this place is loved by previous guests. Prepared by the host herself, it is made up of strong coffee, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, and the extremely delicious home-made scones. Aside from that, Brenda prepares pancakes with honey and fruits for the kids. Truly, she is not only a wonderful host but also an excellent cook.
Negative Reviews
negative:
All bedrooms are upstairs
Guests are disappointed that all bedrooms are located upstairs. There are no downstairs rooms, which is very inconvenient for those who are carrying large luggage or for those who has mobility difficulty.
negative:
No Wi-Fi signal in the bedroom
There is no Wi-Fi signal inside the bedrooms. Moreover, Wi-Fi works only in certain parts of the house. This issue annoyed guests because instead of enjoying their Internet access while resting inside their rooms, they had to go downstairs to look for a good reception.
negative:
Bathroom needs some upgrade
Guests suggested a few bathroom repairs, as it has poor lighting and toilet sometimes does not work. To complete the whole great experience, previous guests suggested renovating and updating the bathroom.
