Manorhamilton – Orlofshús/-íbúðir

We had a lovely stay at this location. Though I never had the opportunity to meet Conor, as we were arriving well after dark, he was very quick to answer questions and quite patient with me as I seemed to have so many. I did have the opportunity to meet his dad, and found him to be a lovely man; friendly, knowledgable, and personable. That’s to be expected in Ireland, of course, but not so much where we come from. We had some issues during our visit that were beyond the owners control; the brand new (as in just a few weeks since installation) point of use water heater in the main bedroom’s shower failed, and they were so apologetic, though a defect was certainly not their fault and there was not much they could do about it. They handled it well, and it wasn’t too much trouble. A plumber was arriving straight away to get it rectified, as it was under warranty. A few things to note; 1. There is no telephone or internet. We found this to be only a slight burden for navigation, but nothing else. It was quite pleasant to relegate the phone for music duties only. Make sure people know where you are in case of emergency. 2. The fireplace door requires quite the effort to open, turning the handle counter-clockwise. It is fully functional, I assure you. Just put some muscle into it. Plenty of wood and peat are provided. 3. All supplies are provided for washing both your body and dishes, and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you might need to cook, reheat, and eat your food. Hand and bath towels are provided as well, but no face towels/washcloths. 4. Conor will inform you that both the house heater and the water heater for the second bedroom, sinks and kitchen are on timers. Don’t be concerned about that! It’s obviously for saving electricity, but we found the water to be hot at all times and the cabin plenty comfortable. 5. For those not familiar with the internal workings of these type of toilet, a good hard, quick push on the handle will make a...

Beautiful cosy cottage with the added advantage of the fire lighting when we arrived on a cold, wet & stormy night. Everybody slept well & it was the best view of the stars any of us had ever seen!

It was a beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Wonderful hosts who made us very welcome. The cottage was fully equipped even things like salt and pepper and butter provided. Immaculately clean. Even though I am from Sligo originally and could have stayed with family, this was the R & R needed to recharge the batteries. Couldn’t recommend or highly enough.

Picturesque setting. Very cute and old style but modern fittings etc so warm and cosy.

Kathleen the owner was very helpful sending messages with how I got into the house, if I needed her she is on hand, Kathleen even offered to print forms if I needed her to. Kathleen called around to meet us and was a lovely lady, very informative about the house and the background to it. The house has everything you need and has a very homely feel to it. We enjoyed our stay and where close to the family, it is in a good location in manorhamilton and I would happily stay again.
