"The property was quite nice cosy and warm, but there were a few issues, the microwave was dirty and rusty, the oven hob was very old fashioned and took ages to heat up, the toaster was small and dirty."
The beds were very soft and not very comfortable.
There was mould in one of the shower units and the shower didn't work very well (en suite) the main shower was adequate.
There was a basin in the sink which was worn old and dirty.
Bed linen didn't seem very clean and there were cob webs and dead flies on the window sills.
Out the back door the guttering's were leaking and it was muddy and wet, there was no covering or clean dry place to sit or walk outside.
There were lots of mouse traps to be seen thankfully didn't see any mice whilst there !
Bit disappointing that the hosts did not pop round to ask if we were comfortable, kept a big distance.
Nice cottage but lots of room for improvement.

"All ok except:
The details re the cottage say that there is a DVD available."
There was no DVD available.
The toilet bowl in the main shower room was broken where it is attached to the floor and therefore unstable.
Settee really needs replacing, very uncomfortable.
Toilet was replaced as soon as i was aware of the crack on one side. The settee is a fine solid oak framed piece of furniture, unfortunate that this quest found it uncomfortable, others have found it comfortable.

"The property was perfect for what we needed as we were out walking most days."
The showers were not the best and the beds not the most comfortable but we managed. We had an issue with a light bulb and one of the showers but the owner responded really quickly to sort out. Perfect location for exploring Galway and Mayo. Would definitely recommend for the price.

"Lovely comfy little cottage in a quiet spot on a farm at the end of the track."
The owners were very friendly, cheerful and helpful. The cottage is handy for Cong, Westport, Galway and Castebar amongst many other places of interest.

"Reasonably priced, Cavan Hill Cottage is roomy, clean and comfortable."
The house is plentifully supplied, (decent pots/pans, cutlery/crockery, white goods and more) for a comfy stay. Peaceful, (typically Irish) location only 2 miles from Balinrobe with all the shops/supermarkets you need, and nicely situated for your day trips etc. The owners are friendly and helpful and I fully intend to stay here again.

"Instructions for reaching the property need to be clearer."
For example, to know that Convent Road start in the middle of town and heads South past the schools would be helpful.

"It is very strange that there was no one who received you and who gave some explanation."
In fact, we did not speak to anyone during the whole week.

"This is a great base for travelling to Cong, Ashford Castle, Westport and Galway all within 40 minutes drive or less."
Great lakes, lough and rivers which my husband enjoyed kayaking along. The trout and salmon were jumping out of the water. We went to Achill Island and my husband ran the 26.2 mile greenway between Westport and Achill sound. My elderly mum came with us and because the cottage is all on one floor she was able to get around great. We loved the multistove fuel fire and the wonderful smell of the turf.
