“I waited until I left town to write the review because I felt threatened.”
+I was too intimidated to give the place a try after a very disturbing welcome, witnessed by the my driver. On her advice, I didn't stay.
−My reception from Doreen was incredibly poor. When I mentioned the place was far further out than I imagined, and I was tired from the Camino, she went on about not being a walker and not believing in exercise. Three times. The outdoor sitting area was not as portrayed. The place looked cluttered and didn't include breakfast or kitchen access. I asked for 2 of the 3 nights to be refunded in my message and Gary threatened me. I've since received a barrage of threatening voice messages and emails from him and had to alter my review.

“I felt unsafe and found another place to stay.”
+I dropped off my bags a few hours before check-in, but it went downhill within minutes, and I retrieved them and found somewhere else to stay. When I mentioned the very uncomfortable reception by his wife, he sent me a threatening message.
−My reception from Doreen was incredibly poor. When I mentioned the place was much further out than I imagined, and I was tired from the Camino, she went on about not being a walker and not believing in exercise. Three times. Gary had agreed to provide some driver services and show me around, but he was out of town, and taxis are hit-and-miss, so I was worried about being stuck there with tension in the air. The outdoor sitting area was not as portrayed. The place looked cluttered and didn't include breakfast or kitchen access. I asked for 2 of the 3 nights to be refunded in a message, and he disparaged and threatened me. He's been harassing me over my reviews which include two back-to-back bookings. I have the harassing voicemails and emails I don't trust him one bit and didn't put in this complaint until I was safely out of town. I'd like a full refund and wish Booking.com would help.

+Gary is a great host, I really enjoyed my stay! Everything was as advertised, and he even offered me a ride to the starting point of my next hike. Would certainly recommend and book again.

“A wonderful minibreak which I took to view the almost total Solar Eclipse from Valentia Island.”
+Excellent value for a private room with a bathroom shared with only one other room. Excellent location for the nearby ferry to Valentia Island and also for the nearby town of Caherciveen for shops, pubs and bus service. Very friendly hosts. Will be looking forward to staying there again if visiting in the coming year.
−The only thing missing from the overall excellent level of accommodation and service was that there were no tea/coffee making facilities due to safety concerns by the host due to a mishap with a previous guest. There was also no breakfast provided which might concern those wanting something to eat first thing in the morning. However the hosts were very happy for me to bring a takeaway meal back the night before and even provided me with a plate and cutlery to eat it. I wasnt too bothered with lack of breakfast as I had a folding bike with me and was able to ride into town in minutes after checking out to get some breakfast from the excellent Lazy Cat Cafe.
