Yewwood Cottage

A lovely property, great size, comfortable, well maintained, good showers.

Issues with the internet meant that we had none until the day before we left.

Amazingly equipped property in an ideal location. Wonderfully furnished and beautifully clean.

The place was near to the Church of the Sacred Heart and Killeavy Castle estate where we attended a wedding. Its a up the hill. Peaceful and overlooking the mountain. Water pressure was good with hot n cold. Beddings and towels are clean.

Maybe to put a signage at the entrance of gate. But not a major issue.

The house itself is described as luxurious. It has a shower in each bedroom with the exception of one. One has a bath with hand held shower . I brought my elderly parents with me as this is a great time to spend together and have used many other homes for this experience. The home does have underfloor heating in parts. It has real wooden floors which squeeked and moved especially where the heating was and solid wood furnishings. The beds are warm and comfortable and the home was dust free and clean. The living room/dining area is all in one making it an open feel but was still small. It is at top of an elevated hill and that is shown in the pictures, but the pictures don't do this hill justice. It is the side of a mountain and is steep. It has cooking facilities, plates, pots, pans etc.

What it lacked - the beds were very low. My elderly parents struggled with this. The TV is not Internet ready so my dad could not watch his programmes on his dongle. The Internet was extremely poor. More often not connecting to anything. I did send an email to the owners asking for help and I received a phone number to contact Pat. I had already sent a message to the mobile. Number and said he was welcome to call anytime. No call ever came. Maybe the Internet connection was that poor he didn't receive it. The home lacked things like liquid to wash dishes or use the dishwasher. Not even a drop of milk to welcome guests. All said if you are looking for a clean home away from civilisation and Internet this is the place for you. For me this was 4 days that i struggled with. We left a day early it was that bad. I can only compare this home to other homes that I have stayed in and because of this I would say this is not value for money. It is dated and needs modernisation. With a bit of love and thought for guests it could be a great get away. A welcome hamper and little home comforts go a long way.
