Such a beautiful home in a truly stunning location

We had a wonderful stay at Corncrake Cottage. The house is stunning and very clean. Communication with Annemarie was great and she messaged us once we were there to check that we were happy. The view is stunning and the cottage is just a few minutes drive from Dunfanaghy. Absolutely nothing to fault and I really hope to be able to stay again.

Corn rake Cottage

The cottage is lovely, well-appointed, and the views outstanding! The reason for a less than brilliant review was our experience with “controlled heating”. Early December with a chill both outside and unfortunately inside as well! The thermostat is pre-set and locked and the heating never synced appropriately for customer comfort. This is something one must cover with the owner if traveling “off season”!!
