Filthy and over run with insects. Also unsafe Electrically.

The Cottage is beautiful from the outside.

The smell of dampness in the cottage is overwhelming. The cottage is absolutely filthy inside and over run with insects. The electrical work in this cottage is not safe. We arrived on Friday afternoon.. our initial thoughts were it wasn't good but we said we'd try make the most of it and pretend we were camping. The house smelled terrible, but we understood it's an old cottage so we lit the fire and tried to air out the house a bit. We bought some candles to light in the living room and hoped they might work. One look in the bathroom made us realise that the smell was actually mould and that the problem was the house is just filthy. The main bedroom is actually disgusting, the ceiling is filthy and covered in years old cobwebs. The are extension leads everywhere with heaters and dehumidifiers plugged in. The bed and bed linen were filthy so we actually just lay on the bed Friday night. We had an early start to do the Carrick Camino Saturday morning so this wasn't ideal. I tried to brush my teeth Saturday morning but the water from the tap was the same colour as milk. We left the cottage Saturday morning at 6am and walked the 35km of the camino. We then decided to do the 3 hrs drive home instead of staying the 2nd night which speaks volumes. I can only attach 4 pics with this review and im not sure this shows how dirty this house is. It is so bad with mould and insect infestation that I honestly believe this house should not be allowed to be rented out. This is a shame as the cottage looks nice from the outside. To be clear we picked this property as we wanted to stay in an old rustic cottage as we have done numerous times before all over Ireland and the UK. We do not have unreasonable expectations and we would have been happy if at least a minimum standard had been met. Sweet Meadow falls very very short of the minimum standard and is the worst property i have ever stayed in. I texted the owner through booking.

Value for Money

Spacious house. Clean and well kept. Easy to find and obtain key.

Couldn't find the iron but was probably hidden away somewhere. Otherwise fine

Charming cottage!!

A delightful cottage, well hidden from road, nice spacious kitchen and front room, plenty of bedrooms to choose from we liked the upper mezzanine, lots of garden space and it will be even nicer when all the sheds at rear are converted, really peaceful place, about 2km from the town, shower and bathroom were great, enjoyed our stay!!

Kitchen light too low as I kept banging my head off it!!

Awesome place

Very Authentic, clean and cosy. Plenty of room when 6 of us stayed. We would love to come back again. Close enough to visit all surrounding towns. Thanks for an awesome place

Avoid at all costs.

Absolutely nothing. There is nothing to like about this place. We were booked in for 3 nights and left on the first morning it was that bad. We would have left without staying at all, only it was late when we arrived the previous evening.

Where do I start? The house was absolutely filthy, there was months old cobwebs everywhere, dead maggot shells on the furniture, it was damp, black mould all over the place, and it was overridden by rodents. It was so bad that the noise they created kept us awake most of the night. Some of the party didn't sleep at all because of it. I reported all this the next morning and that we were leaving. The host was very difficult to deal with, more or less saying we were lying and that maybe we had too high expectations...I don't think expecting a clean rodent free house is too much of an expectation. Anyway, he offered a refund which was expected, then offered a refund minus the fees, we accepted to just put it behind us, then they dragged out the process by repeatedly telling me I had to leave a good review. It felt a bit like blackmail to be honest, and I'm not comfortable lying and feel terrible recommending this house to others. The house is nothing like it's described. It's not cosy, it's not romantic, and it's not clean. It's advertised as being on 4 acres as if it's beautiful gardens and walk areas, but in reality, most of the 4 acres is just a massively overgrown, unkept field. The house is also electrically unsafe. We arrived to not only find mouse traps in the kitchen, but every socket had an extension lead plugged into an extension lead. The majority of the sockets have the electronic pest control things. We counted 17 in total, and obviously, none of them work at all. My advice is to look elsewhere, Rooskey is a nice quiet location, but please find alternative accommodation.

Country Cottage

The host made every effort to ensure my stay was comfortable & enjoyable. Sweet Meadow is very peaceful and has lots of rustic charm. All the facilities were in good order & the woodburner completes the package. A circular staircase was a nice surprise. The bathroom is modern & spacious. There is a nice orchard to the garden,which also has some furniture should the sun be out.

The portable heaters I believe would be challenged in autumn & winter to provide enough warmth in the cottage. Some people may find the activity in the thatch roof of concern, I expected it so no problem for me.

Very good

Lovely quaint old fashioned cottage. Everything needed (and more) for self-catering accommodation provided. Spacious and comfortable. Instruction file for house very useful. Good location for us as we were visiting houses in a few places

Didn't manage to access the WiFi.

Heerlijke week gehad

Prachtig leuk vrijstaand huisje. Groot genoeg voor ons gezin van 7. Je ziet dat het met liefde beheert wordt. Toen onze zoon een gat in zijn hoofd was gevallen hebben ze goed geholpen zorg te vinden en kreeg zelfs de volgende dag een lief berichtje hoe het ging.

Huis is heel klam, maar goed warm te stoken
