The bungalow, called Failte, Gaelic for Welcome, has recently been extensively refurbished and modernised to create a stunning 5 bedroom property. As the house is a bungalow all rooms are easily accessible. The house has been upgraded to a high standard to create a bright and welcoming place to stay. There are 5 bedrooms - 3 bedrooms have superking-sized zip link beds which can be unzipped to create 6 single beds. The other 2 rooms are twin rooms so in total the house sleeps 10. We ask that visitors advise how many beds they require when booking so we can arrange the rooms accordingly! There are 2 shower rooms with electric power showers (one is an en-suite off the rear bedroom) and there is also a separate WC. The kitchen is of a good size and is well equipped with everything you would expect - fridge, oven and hob, microwave, cooking utensils, pots, bowls, crockery etc. There is also a breakfasting area suitable for a couple of people to sit at and eat or chat with the chef while in the kitchen.
