Imagine booking a cottage through ImagineIreland only to discover it was not what you imagined. The cottage they were so proud of that we booked for a weekend was dark, damp, dreary, dirty and dingy. We had to buy our own toilet paper, there was no Calor gas for the cooker. The heating, when it worked, which was seldom, we had to pay extra for and the wood burning stove in the sitting room had no wood. Altogether an utterly miserly experience like no other cottage we’ve booked before. For the privilege we had to pay TWO booking fees of £46 and don’t be fooled by the picture: the cottage next door is derelict.
