Pleasingly different accommodation

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent 3 very comfortable nights in Wicklow Cottage and can strongly recommend it. It is a house with a history, well and handsomely renovated by its long term owners. It is comfortably furnished with an aesthetically coherent mix of old and contemporary furniture in very generously sized rooms. The kitchen is very well equipped, and everything is clean and well maintained. The house and secure back garden offer numerous spaces for relaxing depending on the weather. It is secluded and very quiet on its country road but within only a few kilometers of attractive coast at Point Rickaby and surrounds. The nearest town, Minlaton, offers all retail necessities for stocking up with food and drink for one's visit. Prior to our stay the general instructions from Accommodation on Yorkes, which did not seem to be specific to the property, indicated that we would need to provide our own toilet paper, bin liners, condiments, etc. This was unexpected. We bought the requisite items beforehand only to find that Wicklow Cottage was well provided with all the basics, indeed generously equipped. We believe this information to guests from Accommodation on Yorkes did Wicklow Cottage a disservice and underrates the property. We would have benefitted from either more or somewhat brighter in the main lounge and bedroom.

Farm cottage

We were very happy with the farm cottage, especially being pet friendly. The only drawback is the 'hit & miss' phone & internet coverage, but it didn't take long to find the areas of strongest signal. We will definitely book again.
