Nice stay in Sneem
The holiday house is beautiful, clean and complete. Our son was happy with the toys in house. We enjoyed the very clean house and the kitchen is complete. During off season the restaurants are not all open for dinner, so we have made some nice home cooked dinners in the well equipped kitchen. The playground in the area is nice for kids. Also we enjoyed several nice beaches in the area. Thank you for the stay.
