We booked this place for two weeks to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and were expecting the cottage to be on the beach from pictures in the ad and the "Sit back, relax and watch the waves" title for the property. Instead the cottage has a view of the back of the main house and a hot tub that is not for your use. To access the beach you have to walk by the main house and go through it's back yard, which felt uncomfortable to us, feeling like we were invading their privacy. It turned out nobody ended up staying in the main house during our stay but since we didn't know that, it made our whole stay uncomfortable. The cottage itself was as described inside and was clean and comfortable and would be great for short stays. For a longer stay it was not suitable for us with no dishwasher, laundry or a proper closet or dresser in the bedroom for your clothes. It's location is ideal being next to Rathtrevor Park for walking trails and close to shopping and amenities. We also brought our kayaks hoping to be able to go out every day but the water was so rough most day and much colder than we were expecting so we didn't manage to get out once. So unfortunately for us, it was a very disappointing vacation.
