Moybella is located off a busy road between Listowell and Ballybunnion. It is a tiny cottage which sits behind the owner's home, and there is a large green lawn out the back door.
On our arrival, the host was friendly and showed us around the cottage. The cottage is cozy to be sure. You couldn't be in any part of the house while another was sleeping without the light showing in the bedroom. The kitchen is very small and only basically furnished with odds and ends of dishes and flatware. There is no dishwasher. The grill pan in the oven was greasy as it wasn't washed after the previous visitors.
When we arrived there was only a small partial roll of bathroom tissue and when I asked if we could have another roll, the "hostess" was so rude.in her response. She reminded me that she provides towels and linens and that this is self-catering, which means that I am to provide my own. There are many ways something like this can be said, and she chose the one that was brusque and unfriendly. We stayed in 6 other cottages on this trip alone, and none was as poorly stocked as this one. To his credit, the owner came after us with a new roll, but we didn't use it and left it for the next guest, along with an extra.
The other thing that we found odd was that there was a bottom sheet on the bed but no top sheet. Do they wash the duvet covers between guests? We weren't comfortable with this, and again, this twas the only place that was so minimal. Moybella cost as much or more than the other places we stayed, and it was not nearly as nice as the others.
Because of the busy road, we couldn't just walk out the door and go exploring as we like to do. We had to drive to get to places where walking was safe. Overall, the place was a huge disappointment and the level of hospitality was very low.
