"The property was very tired, equipment out dated, things would break when used, eg scissors, kettle switch, shower head fell off, the bath filled up via a hole where the shower attachment should be!"
!!!,not through the tap. However, the location was good for getting about, Betty the care taker was lovely. For £300 a week you can’t grumble and so so quiet. Never slept as well.

"We absolutely loved our stay, the bed was so comfortable and we had everything we needed."
Betty was great, and it was helpful to know she was close by if we needed anything. There is a coin operated electricity meter which takes 1 and 2 euro coins. We used about 8 euros in total for a week. We would definitely stay here again if we return to the area.

"The cottage is very reasonably priced so we didn't expect 4 star facilities."
It is though a bit basic. Pros.. Very quiet and peaceful Beautiful location Very helpful and friendly lady (Betty) who looks after the place Clean Lovely log fire Cons... Tricky to locate, especially after dark. A name on the cottage would help Take your own sharp knife for the kitchen No colander or sieve in the kitchen Bathroom a bit of a hike from the bedroom In cold weather, the place is slow to heat, even with the boiler and central heating Advance warning in the listings that you need euro coins for electricity would be a good idea Summary... Value for (not a lot of) money

"Property was in a lovely, quiet and safe location."
It was ideal for a few days of sightseeing as there is so much to see and visit within a short drive. House is spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need for a holiday. Everything worked as it should and the quality of all items was excellent. We travelled with our Dog, who loved the enclosed yard and garden and had a ball playing with the neighbors cats. I would recommend you bring throws or blankets to put on sofa and chairs. Betty the caretaker, who lives near by was so lovely and pleasant to deal with.

"A lovely traditional Irish cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay."
We enjoyed our stay. It would have been nice to have some outside furniture so we could sit out Also the electricity meter needs €1 and €2 coins so make sure you have some when you arrive.

"Surprisingly spacious, adequately comfortable, well equipped, genuinely retro and quaint."
I know I’m fussy about beds, but the mattresses would definitely benefit from a topper! We were there in hot weather, and it did get very warm upstairs suggesting that it isn’t very well insulated and would be expensive to heat in winter. The yard was safe enough for our dog, but it is just a concreted farmyard with no grass. Overall it was good value and a lovely quiet situation close to some good walks.

"Probably the worst Sykes cottage we have stayed at!"
! arrived on the Saturday as planned only to be told they weren't expecting us until Monday. hence the cottage had not been properly prepared, i.e. it had not been aired and was damp and as the keyholder said they normally heat the cottage through no heating had been arranged
I am very sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay! I have confirmed with our cleaner that the cottage was ready for your check in. Please give Sykes a call if you would like to discuss this further. Property Owner

"Beautiful place with gorgeous original features."
Nice and quiet with fab views and lovely area to walk. Betty is lovely and helpful. Great onsite amenities. Loads of space. But the cold of the house is unreal. It is never adequately heated. Oil is charged extra to the person staying there. Nobody pays it and so the walls are ice cold there, doors stick, hard to feel warmth there. I lit fire and burnt coal and blocks but you would find it hard to feel the heat from it. Water came out of walls. Smoky smell in the living room. Oil heating and electricity should not be charged extra. It's not cheap to stay here.
Thank you for your feedback, it is clearly stated that oil and electricity is charged for as per a meter reading.If you had brought to our attention the problem with the condensation we would have happily got this sorted for you. Property Owner

"The additional costs added for electricity and heating are excessive and came as a shock at the end of our week."
warnings should be made to future renters.

"We had a great holiday at Steepes Place."
Its the kind of authentic old cottage we love but beautifully clean and with everything you would need. Betty & her husband were amazing hosts & even brought down a mattress, from their own home, to put on the sofa bed so that my dad could sleep downstairs ! The bedrooms upstairs were lovely & the beds were so comfortable. It is in a great location for visiting lots of attractions but so peaceful if you just want some quiet time. Would definitely go back in the future. Betty keep up the good work as you are doing a great job.

"Kept clean and overall a comfortable stay."
The one issue is with the bathroom - It's about as far from the bedroom as you can get, not ideal for those nighttime trips! The shower is a disappointing trickle. Kitchen facilities are good with everything you need and in good condition.
