We know locals would have no problem figuring out the electrical system but things are unique Fromm what we are accustomed, we didn’t fully figure out the hot water tank & which switch needed to be on. not a big deal. Thinking that if the main hot water switch were marked “hot water on/off switch” it would eliminate the guessing game for those of us not from these parts. Just a thought Maybe a paper to say what would need to be done in order to have hot water in the morning. Thank you for the stay Mary was very good our cleaning lady Bianca too!

1) The property manager was very accommodating, promptly addressing issues and questions that emerged (e.g., fixed a shower drainage problem identified on the night of Day 1 - communicated on Day 2 - by Day 3 of 14 and provided new shower curtains; picked up prepared trash from location for us while away). 2) Keys were available immediately upon arrival through coordination with the property manager, and check-out was effortless. 3) The location was fairly quiet, with main room windows facing northwest (bedroom windows facing southeast). 4) The downstairs entrance had wall hooks for coat-hanging, necessary for the rain. 5) The provided Nespresso (pod) espresso maker - this was a surprise that I used daily (SuperValu has the pods).

1) I would have benefited from more explicit and general guidance on property management before arrival (nothing went wrong, but I was unsure about a lot). 2) The outer door house entrance is downstairs, with an additional outside-to-inside door segment followed by an immediate staircase. Every room is upstairs. 3) The house is significantly uphill from the rest of downtown Dingle, and the rains keep the ground wet. If you plan to walk around and make purchases, just keep this in mind as the "hike" requires adequate mobility. 4) One individual said the bed comfort was acceptable given the price, but another individual chose to sleep on the floor multiple nights instead. 5) The bathroom sink has separate cold and hot water faucets - there is a drain-stop if you want to mix them, but otherwise, you're stuck with either cold or hot. 6) Finding the location in strong wind/rain on arrival was a challenge (I had no initial bearings), and it was far easier to provide directions to others about where I was staying afterward. 7) The water pressure for the shower head is poor. You need to stand within a foot of the shower drain. 8) The water refill time for the toilet can be long, depending on the number of guests staying. Again, the property manager's attentiveness made it better than tolerable.

The location was excellent, and the property had all the basic necessities. Shops were handy, with lots of options to eat and drink around. Parking was also very convenient.

The beds were not comfortable at all. The mattresses did feel like they were very old. The water pressure for the hot water was basically a trickle. So to have an effective shower, it had to be cold.

Location, location, location! The cottage was nice and spacious. Plenty of beds, good kitchen comfortable shared spaces. The cottage was well supplied and mostly clean.

The shower curtain was moldy. The refrigerator is a little small and the freezer door was broken. One of the double mattresses was in pretty bad shape and the cleaning team had missed some dirty lingerie and pills that we found sticking out from underneath the bed.
