Cottage 360 - Clifden - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

Our family had a lovely stay in this lovely house. It was bright, clean, well furnished and had an excellent library.

We had a lovely stay in Clifden, the house is in a fantastic location and the housekeeper was welcoming and helpful. Lots of comfortable sofas and a great library with lovely views. Comfy beds and plenty of hot water. Well equipped kitchen. Easy parking at the local supermarket.

We had the luxury of spending three weeks on holiday in Cottage 360. We were three women and really appreciated the 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It was especially great that our landlady made the beds once a week and cleaned the bathrooms. Thank you very much, Caroline! The location of the house in the centre of Clifden is unbeatable! You can go shopping in a few steps and have the choice between various great restaurants and very good pubs. The house is built over four floors on the hillside. This means that the bedroom in the basement has no window. However, the dining area with the kitchen is large and bright. The water pressure in the bathrooms varies. It can take a little longer to shower and wash your hair - but this is probably due to the age of the house. We didn't like the artificial turf on the two terraces because it was constantly soaking wet from the rain. The view of the garden, which belongs to the house but cannot be entered, was also depressing. Hopefully some more time and love will be put into this area in the next few years. All in all, we would book Cottage 360 again on our next visit to Clifden. The house has a lot of charm and it was lovely to come home to every day.

Cottage 360 seemed like a dream. There was so much space, it was in the centre of town. The kitchen was beautiful. All appeared perfectly fine. The problems only arised after the first night. The downstairs heating didn't seem to work so the kitchen was cold and after sleeping in the bedroom beside the kitchen we could smell the damp musty smell. The bedroom on the first floor was picturesque, a lovely vintage looking room that looked straight over Lowry's pub on the main street. Again after sleeping in this bed my opinion had changed. This bed squeaked and squealed every time I moved in it, causing a bad night's sleep. I think it may have to do with the fact that the bed frame had been broken previously and it was just held together with steel plates and the wooden pieces were moving off each other whenever anyone in the bed moved. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans, delph and cutlery so we got a few bits for a fry on our third morning. We then came to realize that both frying pans were entirely scratched up. We attempted to cook on them anyway but it took a long time to cook as only one spot on the pan was actually cooking. We ended up eating out at restaurants and cafes for the rest of the trip. Also the socket on one side of the room didn't work which posed an issue with working on a PC from the kitchen table. We were also afraid to close the kitchen curtains because the curtain pole looked like it was about to fall out and we didn't want to be held responsible. When we started to clean up and get ready for departure we were asked to empty the bins. As I went to use the bathroom bin on the first floor I could see that this hadn't been emptied from the previous guests and had sanitary products in it. I was absolutely disgusted to see this as surely the bins should have been checked after the last guest. Meanwhile in the downstairs bedroom whilst packing up my mother found someone's dirty toenail under the bed. In short, the location was absolutely amazing, the space was lovely. The living areas were beautifully presented. The cleanliness was abysmal, the damp was horrendous and the cooking apparatus was unusable. We did not use the two beds on the top floor as there was no bathroom up there so I cannot speak for that room. All in all, it was a poor stay if you planned to stay in your apartment for a good chunk of time. My mother actually ended up sick after staying in the damp room. I felt her clothes that she had in the room and they were noticably damp. Unfortunately I couldn't recommend anyone stay in the downstairs bedroom for health and safety but maybe upstairs would have been different.
