Very poor initial impression

When we arrived 9pm Friday 15th, we met with caretaker. The cottage was cold & when he turned on heating the oil tank was empty. There was no water in taps - mains turned off. When all sorted, water in shower was dangerously hot. This is illegal- probably faulty thermostat. I managed 1 shower between Fri.- Tues. I feel owner needs to be aware of our experience & would like to contact him. I paid a lot of money & very poor value because of all above. Please get back to me.

Very Comfortable and Charming Cottage!

Excellent location for our stay. So close to the wedding venue at the Lodge at Ashford Castle and lovely to have access to the grounds at Ashford Castle. The Gamekeepers Lodge was the ideal spot for our family.

Cong, Ireland

We had a lovely stay on the grounds of Ashford Castle. This cottage was cozy and comfortable. Cong is a wonderful village with great people. We particularly recommend the Hawk Walk at the Falconry School.

Idyllic

Beautiful house - a tasteful combination of modern and antique furnishings. Location could not be better - beautiful strolls and bike riding round Ashford castle. Thank you Patricia & Phillip for their excellent communication. Will be back!
