The house was spacious, clean and absolutely lovely. Comfortable bedrooms, great living room for a group, spacious dining room and fabulous kitchen! We loved the location - not too far from Galway, and super close to a charming town that had pubs, markets, really everything you would need. The welcome basket was a nice touch!

My husband and I, along with my 2 sons and their wives, stayed at this lovely property during our trip across Ireland. It was very clean and inviting. There was a nice welcome basket waiting for us upon our arrival. It is located in a quiet area, so is very peaceful. Our host, Jackie, was very easy to reach and quick to answer a question I had. I would highly recommend this property. You will not be dissatisfied with your stay here.

Amazing spacious home!
This is a beautiful new home with all the amenities you could ask for and such considerate hosts! All the special touches like the basket of snacks, convenient book of local attractions, and even toothbrushes were appreciated! It is super close to Augnanure Castle, which is well worth the trip! We highly recommend this house.
