A very good location to explore the area. Nice outdoor spaces and living area. A traditional stone cottage.

The kitchen and bathroom have not been updated and need attention. Rental price was high for the property.

1.0

Location is good

Couldn't get the shower to work and couldn't reach the owner for assistance. House was extremely cold as they turn off the heat and expect you to turn on the heat upon arrival and wait until cottage warms up. It never did.

"A beautiful cottage on the coast overlooking Barna and Spiddal across Galway Bay."

10.0

Oranuisce Thatched Cottage is an authentic cottage that has been faithfully and sensitively restored with taste. Just a couple of miles outside Ballyvaughan on the coast road to Blackhead. We explored a different beach each day, all within walking distance or a short drive. Hosts, Paul and Teri gave us excellent tips on local restaurants, pubs, the excellent local Centra managed by John, beaches etc. Paul and Teri were always available for any queries by text, despite it being Christmas week. The cows walked past the kitchen window outside the garden wall in the mornings. It was idyllic. Perfect for our small dog, he had a secure walled back yard when he wasn't exploring beaches.

"We enjoyed a very pleasant 3 night stay in a lovingly restored piece of Irish history."

8.0

No Breakfast provided, but none expected. The Thatch Cottage has obviously been recently renovated and it has been kept as original as possible taking into account modern convenience.

The Shower was not draining and after 4 persons had used the shower there was basically 3 / 4 centimetres of water at your feet. Not very, hygienic. The toilet seat was lose and needs fixing. The information should also state that the stove is useable as we were not overly sure that it was allowed to be lit or not.
