Enjoyed the house!

The house was perfect for us. The house is immaculate and is very spacious. It's simply decorated and not cluttered. It was a great location for us with an easy walk down to the main street in Spiddal. We enjoyed staying there!

Nice house on Connemara coast.

Good house for a group. Nice village location. Beautiful views. My only suggestion for improvement is nicer quality towels and a few more warm blankets on beds.
