Reviews Though yet to be widely reviewed by visitors, the Creevy Experience holiday cottages received 4/5 courtesy of wellrested TripAdvisors. Visitors praised the cottages’ amenities and ambiance, though special mentions went to their settings. The cottage was outstanding with every mod con to make your holiday stress free. But this did not take away from the traditional charm which The Moor had in spades. The setting couldn’t be better with a large front and rear garden from which you can get a view of the sea – jamesmca, TripAdvisor reviewing The Moor, Sep 2011 We had a really great time at our Creevy Cottage, it was beautiful It was really clean and very cosy when we lit the fire, our doggies were delighted there too – bubdex, TripAdvisor, Jun 2011
