Another pleasant holiday in this lovely house

Everything was excellent but we did feel the kitchen lacks some simple things like a teapot and bowls for a salad. Last year we bought egg cups and left them there so thankfully they were still there! A great house otherwise and well worth renting.

Trip to Ballyconneely

We had a really enjoyable stay at 9 Murlach Moorings in Ballyconneely. Mary was great and going beyond the call of duty taking our clothes in off the line to avoid a rain shower. It would only happen in the West!!! Thanks

Comfortable house in beautiful setting

We recently had a lovely stay in this beautiful part of the world. This house is tastefully presented and very comfortable with some nice touches like a Nespresso machine, good linen and towels. Only minor quibbles: we weren’t told the number of the house and I had asked for a note of what would be there and what wouldn’t in terms of basics but didn’t receive that. Would stay again.
