Well, where do we start?
On the outside it’s a beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting just outside Bantry.
On the inside it’s a 1980’s time warped, dated property that is in need of more than a deep clean. Cold, damp and unclean on arrival, the dishwasher rusty, the washing machine taped up, and rusty, the only way to describe our feelings is to say “DUPED” springs to mind.
However, this was nothing compared to the arrival of the owners, “Cathleen & Jack”.
Jack’s gift of 6 logs was a big help to keep us warm, lasted all of 75 minutes!!
That though was the tip the iceberg. Firstly Cathleen told us it was a good job we’d brought our own Christmas tree, as the one she’d promised us was in her garage and she was unaware of its condition. To top that she then announced that we’d have to pay extra for the electricity we were going to use, and VRBO should of told us this.
You can imagine our thoughts at 4.30pm on Christmas Eve.
Guess what??
A quick check of the T&C’s told us it was included, and the fantastic staff at VRBO confirmed this 2 days later. VRBO we’re absolutely brilliant with us, pity we can’t say the same about the owners, never came near us after.
Complained to VRBO, and got written confirmation that I’m within my rights to put these comments in my review.
Totally impossible to recommend this property, or anything about it after the our dreadful experience. Shame on you Cathleen.
