"Wonderful apartment in a nice town with nice people and typical Irish bars. Thank you so much Lilly and Richard for the"

10.0

L’emplacement était parfait pour visiter les environs. L’appartement était très bien équipé et confortable pour 6 Adultes et 4 enfants. Les hôtes étaient très attentionnés et nous ont donnés pleins de bons conseils durant notre séjour.

Il n’y a rien que nous n’avons pas aimé. Peut-être que la terrasse pourrait être nettoyée.

"A Heavenly Spot where you will feel right at Home."

9.0

Spacious accommodation with plenty of room, the friendliest hosts you could imagine, and the village is small enough that you feel right at home in just a few hours. The apartment has lots of interesting bits of history and arts and crafts throughout to give it a charming feel, and there is everything you need within walking distance. It is also a great place to base yourself for exploring Clare and Galway.

The Wi-Fi was a bit weak, but it worked well enough and mobile service in the area is perfectly satisfactory.

"Just open the door and enjoy!"

10.0

We wanted for nothing. Every comfort amenity was thought-out and provided. A large basket with a variety of foods and snacks was waiting for us. Our hosts were available and offered suggestions for local sights, dining and music! The beds were very comfortable. The lodging was spacious and comfortable. There is a lovely and spacious second-story patio. There were seven of us age 30-65, and we all loved the lodging and the town.

We liked everything.

"This historic housework very well for our family group. Would stay"

9.0

The house location worked well for our family group. The host was responsive to our messages and gave timely guidance in terms of checking in. The kitchen was a good size and well stocked with practical items and the chairs in the lounge were comfortable. It was great to have two shower rooms. The town has several restaurants, pubs and coffee shops all in walking distance. Thank you too for the welcome basket!

The mannequin at the bottom of the stairs, worried some people!
