@Siobhan103 No offense, but what nimrod thinks that "a truly Irish experience...in the heart of a 200-acre working Irish sheep farm" screams romantic getaway for his wife's 40th birthday? Your cottage sounds absolutely charming, but you are 100% clear on what it is. If that man ever gets laid again it will only be because someone takes pity on him.
The fact he couldn't simply get you over there to sort it out, then gave you one star, is tough. But it will soon be swept aside by other great reviews, so hang in there 🙂
