Great spot- beautiful and quiet
Super accommodation in a very unusual Manor House. Wonderful walk along the river to Ballynahinch Castle. The apartment was very well equipped and all worked well. My only recommendation is that the shower heads are due for renewal- the water sprays everywhere!

A wonderful place
Situated in beautiful surroundings with forest and lakeside walks on your doorstep. The apartment was excellent, clean, tidy, warm. The beds were comfortable, the cooking facilities excellent and the central heating, showers, and Wi-Fi were all you would expect. Only a ten minute walk to the hotel for food and drinks. Highly recommended.

A home away from home in a most beautiful part of Ireland. Very good customer service
Our apartment had everything we needed for a week in Connemara. The WIFI was very good so we could access all our streaming services etc. Only had one small issue and I love Connemara were extremely helpful and had it sorted within the day. Views from apartment were fabulous, lovely walks around the grounds and up to the castle where we had a terrific meal. Only small negative was couldn’t use main bath-shower and en-suite at same time but that didn’t greatly inconvenience. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again some day.
Wir haben den Aufenthalt dort angenehm verbracht. Es liegt gut um viele Aktivitäten in der Umgebung anzufahren. Die Sauberkeit des Objektes war gut. Der Charme der Zimmer war wie erwartet.
