The swimming pool is for your sole use. Measuring 8m x 4m is south facing, getting lots of sun, and is maintained on a daily basis. There is lighting for night swims, large pergola, loungers, table and chairs.

What visitors have said about Mournetas |
| |

The setting is breathtakingly beautiful, the barn and the mill are from the sweetest of dreams, and Trev and Ursula are truthfully two of the loveliest people on this planet. Their warmth and dedication is a wonderful thing to encounter.

A truly wonderful place. Relaxing, entertaining and enjoyable. Ursula and Trevor were so kind and helpful. The pool, the gite, the quietness, the cinema, the bbq, the sound of the mill and running water. The table tennis table has been worn out!
Thank you for everything and being such wonderful hosts.

After our first visit 2 years ago we were desperate to come back, and so glad that we did!. The improvement to the games room and the addition of the cinema are both fantastic. Yet again Trev and Ursula have been the perfect hosts and we have wanted for nothing. There warmth and kindness are what makes Mournetas such a special place. With our love and thanks to you both. (and of course Tigoo!) - the cat

Thank you so much Ursula and Trevor!. We've had the most fantastically relaxed time - this cottage has everything you could possible want. whether its log fires and the cinema on the odd rainy day, or lounging by the pool in the glorious sunshine!. Our hosts have been wonderful, and all the nice touches around the cottage have made it so special. We will certainly be back. (ps we love Tiggy!) - the cat.
