Great place for family visit to the area

This was a perfect place for our family to enjoy our stay in September 2022. We loved the location. The host was wonderful as she was accessible, a good communicator & very helpful with the information & items provided. We would stay here again!

Scam

This Property is a scam. Got there and it’s not even a rental property. I have to get reimbursed my money.

This traveller did not give his fellow travellers the correct information to get to the property when he himself was flying in from a work trip and they were arriving a day ahead of him. They didn’t not contact me to get the correct information. It was resolved and we fully refunded him immediately when he got in touch after he got home from the rally - they were attending the Donegal Rally.

The cottages are steps away from the first tee box of Sandy Hills and Old Tom golf courses. The location and view were incredible with the house a 5 minute walk from the beautiful Tramore beach. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cottages (we rented 1 and 2) and will definitely book again if we return to one of the loveliest areas we encountered during our 20 day golfing sojourn across Ireland.

Parfait si vous êtes golfeurs

Maison spacieuse absolument conforme aux photos juste 2 points d’amélioration- impossible de mettre nos poubelles à l’endroit indiqué puisque les conteneurs étaient archi plein-alors que la maison est très propre tout ce qui concerne la batterie de cuisine laisse à désirer en quantité et surtout en propreté ce qui n’est pas le cas pour la vaiselle
