CelinaVerified The perfect winter getaway ☺ Very cozy and unique, lovely decor, amazing surroundings. ☹ The toilet seemed to leak, but it wasn’t really a problem. KayleighVerified Exceptional BarryVerified Lovely stay and a nice treat with bread and local cheese ☺ The location and amenities for our stay ☹ Nothing DeirbhileVerified Our stay was cosy, relaxed & peaceful. The old school house is a little piece of Irish heaven. Thank you Clare! ☺ The interior style, the warm fire & cosy feel. Not to mention the location & lovely attentive host. Would 100% recommend! ☹ N/a RacheleVerified Exceptional ☺ I have just loved this place! We arrived late in the evening and we were welcomed with a basket of wine, bread and cheese. The owner was very nice and always ready to help, she gave us a lot of infos also on what to do and where to eat nearby. The house is superb, very spacious and very tastefully arranged . There was everything: from coffee,salt, tea to washing soap, bathsoap, shampoo, hairmask, and body cream. A lot of books all over the house. The garden around and the view to the stream and church was painting-like. Durrus is also a great spot to visit a lot of amenities around: maizen head, bantry town, a lot of beautiful gardens, glengariff and his little island, and lots more. My only regret is the we stayed just for 3 nights! ☹ I had a problem with hot water in the shower, it kept swinging from cold to hot. But my husband didn't have the same problem, he was showering just fine. JoelVerified Endroit atypique et idéal entre 2 péninsules ☺ La bonne relation et la disponibilité ,malgré la distance ,avec l’Hote L’endroit atypique (ancienne école),et son emplacement ☹ Rien GaetanVerified Maison au calme confortable avec une décoration originale ☺ Vaste maison. Environnement calme. Matériel de cuisine complet. Lits confortables. Décoration riche et originale ☹ Système de douche incompréhensible. Difficulté à trouver le lieu par les moyens GPS habituels. Il faut connaître le système Eircode. DanielVerified Exceptional ☺ Der Flair des Hauses ist außergewöhnlich gut, sehr nett willkommen geheißen worden (frische Blumen, warmer Ofen, Brot, Käse und Wein) ☹ Toaster hat gefehlt
