It was spotless, beautifully decorated and with everything we needed for our week stay. The host was available when we contacted him and patiently helped us to figure out how to work the cooker! Thank you for that Brian 😀 I am reluctant to say how beautiful Gardenstown is because I want to keep it to myself. The people, the beach, the sunsets are amazing. We will definitely go back and would love to go back to the same cottage. Thank you ##### tracy s. Stayed 7 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dirk H. Aug 22, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wunderschönes Ferienhaus an einem besonderen Ort Wir haben 14 Tage in diesem besonderen Ferienhaus verbracht und wir haben es genossen. Die Wohnung ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man zum Wohlfühlen benötigt. Besonders punktet sie natürlich durch ihre außergewöhnlich guten Lage. Man hat das Meer praktisch vor der Nase. Das große Panoramafenster macht den vorhandenen Fernseher somit vollkommen entbehrlich. Jagende Möwen und vorbeiziehende Wale ließen sich von der Couch aus beobachten. Die Sonnenuntergänge sind einmalig, zumindest aus unserer Sicht. Aber auch Gardenstown selbst ist sehr schön. Strand und Hafen ist alles zu Fuß zu erreichen. Im Ort gibt es einen Lebensmittelladen, ein kleines Pub und ein liebevoll von den Einwohnern geführtes Café. Es gibt schön angelegte Küstenwanderwege in das benachbarten Dorf Crovie und auch sonst mangelt es nicht an Ausflugszielen in der näheren Umgebung. Kurz gesagt, es war ein wunderschöner Urlaub an einem sehr idyllischen Ort. ##### Dirk H. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2019
