Enjoyed the house!

The house was perfect for us. The house is immaculate and is very spacious. It's simply decorated and not cluttered. It was a great location for us with an easy walk down to the main street in Spiddal. We enjoyed staying there!

Nice house on Connemara coast.

Good house for a group. Nice village location. Beautiful views. My only suggestion for improvement is nicer quality towels and a few more warm blankets on beds.

Peaceful place.

The house is in an exceptionally quiet area and is equipt to the highest standard. The playroom worked wonders, both kids and adults got a break from each other. I would highly recommend this place if you want to use it as a base for exploring the west or perhaps as a place to just unwind.

Great place to stay, especially for families.

Wonderful place, very clean and very big. We loved it very much. The area is a bit on the country side, however, lots of natural nice regions to explore.
