The West of Ireland conjures up many images; thatched, whitewashed cottages, a flock of sheep on a narrow road, an emerald green field with a stone wall, or the Atlantic waves crashing into towering cliffs and rocky shores.
Reviews of Springwood Cottage
"Very dissapointed with the lack of cleanliness of this cottage. At some point this would have probably been a lovely place to stay...however sadly on our arrival we found the floors had not been cleaned. The gas cooker was dirty and unusable. One of the rings on the top was faulty and the fridge had a horrible smell to it. This house had some beautiful furniture and accessories, however the cleaning had not been daily upkept and cushions and throws had stains and were grubby. There were a whole list of concerns about this property and the owner offered for the cleaner to come back and hoover at some point through our stay, however in my opinion the whole house needed a deep clean. Broken toys in the garden and cigerette ends( meant to be a no smoking cottage) have put us off returning again. We were offered a little discount for any further bookings at the cottage. We were advised by Skye to ask for a 25 % refund, then we were informed by another member of customer services that we were not going to be entitled to any refund. The lack of cleanliness spoilt the holiday for us adults, however the children thankfully enjoyed the days on the beautiful beaches in the area and the extra meals out we had to purchase whilst not using the cooker! We wont be returning to Springwood cottage and wont be using Skyes cottages either to book further holidays. Very dissapointed in the lack of empathy shown."
