“I did read the bad review but we had to book this cottage after the original one cancelled on us!”

The list of cleaning jobs was awful, far more than I expected and there were 3 copy’s of it as we arrived which was a bad start. Iv used holiday homes for 14/15 yrs now and have never been asked to strip beds, wash the floors and clean bathrooms. It put such a black cloud over our stay. We always leave a property tidy and wiped clean.

We have great pride in our home and it is always presented to our customers in a clean and welcoming condition. The 'list', is only a reminder to people to leave the house as you found it. I can honestly say that 99% of people do not have an issue with this. They clean and tidy as they go, as they would in their own homes. The 'list' bears no threat to these people. On the other hand, the list is a thorn in the side of the small minority of people who have no respect for our home and who leave it in a state that is not acceptable. Would you like to see bed linen left on the ground, delph and cutlery on the draining board, empty shopping crates outside your door. That is just a synopsis of the condition my home was left in after the departure of the Talbot family. I will not apologise for asking people to respect our home. - Sykes owner relations

“A spacious house, in a great location, which suited our large family party.”

We loved to be able to have a walk right from the front door, and the view from the upper floor to the bay was beautiful. The cleaning list (in triplicate!) went too far, I've never come across such a comprehensive cleaning list in all my years renting self catering accommodation. Besides being off-putting, it gives the impression cleanliness of the house may depend on previous occupants. Saying that, the house was very clean. The house was well furnished, too, nothing extra to make it homely, though (and no DVDs, games, books, puzzles if families need rainy day entertainment). With room for 8 to sleep, it would have been nice to have a dining table for 8, too, but we managed to rearrange with furniture from the kitchen to fit us all around the table. All in all we had a lovely time, and would consider coming back if we were to visit the area again.

“The photographs do not do the location of this house any justice.”

The drive from Durrus is a beautiful scenic drive along the coast with mountains in the distance. There are gorgeous views of the bay from the front bedroom windows. Whilst there we visited the local bar/restaurant, Arundels. The food was delicious and our 1 year enjoyed playing in the play park while we finished off our food. There is a local art gallery and coffee shop within walking distance too. The house had all the necessities and no more. We stayed here with our 3 kids. 13, 10 and 1. While they each had their own double room they were stuck a few times for things to do. There's a set of swings outside and a large garden but no toys at all inside and no selection of DVD's as stated. Although not always necessary in holiday rentals, a BBQ would have been lovely too. The wifi was good and Sky TV provided some freeview channels. We appreciate the fact that this is someones house and that while staying there we have a responsibility to keep it clean and tidy but the to-do list stuck on the fridge was going abit far. When you go on holiday the last thing you want is to be given a list of chores like moping the floors, cleaning the oven, fridge and bathrooms!! Also, don't forget to keep some Euro's for the electricity. You will need to pay the caretaker (who was lovely) upon departure.

“Lovely location beautiful part of Ireland.”

What was in the home was good quality it lacked any warmth or cosyiness. The rooms were functional, they had no feel. There was a wonderful artist within a mile of the property, afew of her paintings on the walls would of made a wonderful difference for example. The boiler broke down on the Sunday due to a young bird had built a nest in the outside flu. The caretaker was wonderful in organising a heating engineer very quickly to sort it, full marks to him
