Móar Cottage offers beds that many guests found very comfortable, spacious and conducive to a good night’s sleep. The bunk beds, often described as cozy and wide, received mixed feelings about accessibility, particularly the top bunk, which some found difficult to reach. Although the mattresses and duvets were praised for their excellent quality, the lack of pre-made beds was a recurring point. Guests frequently mentioned the need to make their own beds upon arrival, which included adding pillowcases, duvets and sheets. Some found this minor self-service aspect tolerable, while others felt it detracted from their overall experience, especially when encountering damp or stained linens.
Despite these inconveniences, the comfort of the beds themselves was often highlighted positively. The provided extra pillows and blankets were seen as an added comfort. For shorter stays, the beds seemed to meet the needs of travelers adequately. However, the tight space in the bedrooms and the design of the bunk beds posed some challenges, particularly for couples and taller individuals. Overall, while the bed setup might require a bit of DIY effort, the end result is a comfortable and cozy sleeping experience for most guests.
Móar Cottage receives mixed reviews regarding its cleanliness. Many guests commend the cottage for being clean, tidy and well-organized. Phrases like "very clean", "impeccable cleanliness" and "beautifully clean" appear frequently, indicating that a good number of visitors find the accommodations to be satisfactory in terms of hygiene. The fresh sheets and pillowcases particularly stand out as a positive aspect and the overall cozy, well-kept environment along with clean facilities seem to appeal to most.
However, numerous reviews highlight significant issues with cleanliness. Complaints range from superficial cleaning to instances of hair, dirt and leftover food in various parts of the cottage. Problems with the dirty kitchen utensils, stained bedding and uncleaned bathrooms suggest that the cleaning process is inconsistent with some areas being overlooked or poorly maintained. Some guests mentioned more specific concerns such as dirty floors, stained couches and an overall lack of thoroughness in cleaning.
While the cottage consistently impresses with its functionality, comfort and cozy atmosphere, it has an evident need for improved and more stringent cleaning protocols. The scenic location and well-equipped interior offer a pleasant experience, but addressing the recurring cleanliness issues could significantly enhance guest satisfaction.
