Manorhamilton – Sumarhús

Fred Bandaríkin

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...

Great & spacious house for our family group and very convenient location for visiting relatives nearby. The views from the house were fabulous and an added bonus as was the short walk to the great facilities in Manorhamilton. One elderly person within our group has mobility challenges so the fact there are no steps from parking and all the rooms are on one level was very helpful. Also good accessible shower / toilet facilities. We will definitely return when our next family gathering is arranged.

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.

Location is fantastic, far from everything and still close to so many places worth visiting. Quietness and remoteness top of the excellent hosts were our main reasons for the second visit at Pat Tadys.

Several miles from the closest town it was quiet & peaceful. Sheep, birds, local farmers & a large hare were seen often. We walked through the fields & saw the owners ancestral homes (ruins). Absolutely beautiful! We walked out of the house 1 morning, a flock of sheep were being herded by the neighbor & his dog to the next pasture using our driveway . What a pleasant surprise! Everything we needed was supplied, full kitchen with anything you'd expect in a kitchen, hair dryer, linens, washer & dryer.

I had a lovely stay at Clinton's cottage with my dog. Everything was perfect. It's situated in the countryside in a lovely quiet setting while still only being at 10 minutes from Manorhamilton. The host left lots of lovely and delicate attentions around the house, she also sent the code for the keybox early that morning. The house was spotless, warm and comfortable. The communication with the host was very easy. I really enjoyed my stay and will go back there as soon as I can.
