Carraun Cottage

Beautiful location and a lovely cottage. Great host and easy check in.

No phone service or WiFi would be difficult for a longer stay.

Fantastic place, house ect..

We have just returned from a fantastic stay at Carraun Cottage, Conor is a fantastic host and couldn't be more helpful. The cottage exceeded our expectations and is nothing short of a fairytale. The grounds are beautiful, the location is beautiful with stunning views, close to a town with everything needed. Everything about this cottage is special and we treated it so, thank you for helping us to create fun family memories. We will definitely return. This place is magical.

Absolutely nothing.

nice n Cosy

tat there was no coverage and there was no Wi-Fi

We had a lovely stay at this location. Though I never had the opportunity to meet Conor, as we were arriving well after dark, he was very quick to answer questions and quite patient with me as I seemed to have so many. I did have the opportunity to meet his dad, and found him to be a lovely man; friendly, knowledgable, and personable. That’s to be expected in Ireland, of course, but not so much where we come from. We had some issues during our visit that were beyond the owners control; the brand new (as in just a few weeks since installation) point of use water heater in the main bedroom’s shower failed, and they were so apologetic, though a defect was certainly not their fault and there was not much they could do about it. They handled it well, and it wasn’t too much trouble. A plumber was arriving straight away to get it rectified, as it was under warranty. A few things to note; 1. There is no telephone or internet. We found this to be only a slight burden for navigation, but nothing else. It was quite pleasant to relegate the phone for music duties only. Make sure people know where you are in case of emergency. 2. The fireplace door requires quite the effort to open, turning the handle counter-clockwise. It is fully functional, I assure you. Just put some muscle into it. Plenty of wood and peat are provided. 3. All supplies are provided for washing both your body and dishes, and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you might need to cook, reheat, and eat your food. Hand and bath towels are provided as well, but no face towels/washcloths. 4. Conor will inform you that both the house heater and the water heater for the second bedroom, sinks and kitchen are on timers. Don’t be concerned about that! It’s obviously for saving electricity, but we found the water to be hot at all times and the cabin plenty comfortable. 5. For those not familiar with the internal workings of these type of toilet, a good hard, quick push on the handle will make a...

Would have preferred to have had washcloths and a shelf in the showers for shampoo and conditioner, as we had a handicap person amongst us that had some difficulty leading over to pick things up off the floor.
