Kerry 'bat cave' is the perfect hangout thanks to extensive makeover

From customised doors to 'unwelcome' mats for unwanted visitors the renovated cottage is now a perfect bat roost

'Recently renovated: Remote, detached cottage, natural slate roof, zero plumbing, sleeps 150 or more. Visitors definitely not welcome'

As property makeovers go the formerly abandoned cottage at Rossacroo in County Kerry is an extremely 'des res' indeed. Well, a desirable residence for horseshoe bats anyway so that's a real win for all involved in this project.
