Lovely clean and spacious property with lots of efficient communication with Frank - the property owner. Not far from Eyre Square. Definitely recommend
The house was very accommodating, and the convenience to Galway desirable. In my experience with VRBO, Frank was the most friendly and responsive owner Iâve encountered. A problem with WiFi connection was his priority, both on the phone and in person. Our stay was short, but our experience with him will long be remembered!
We arrived in the evening to find a note to please remove our shoes. Okay, no problem. There was a shoe rack, but it had room for one pair of shoes as it had a couple pair and several soccer balls already on it. They knew there were five of us staying. The home is obviously their home. The layout is very nice, pleasantly decorated and comfortly furnished. However.....
I have sever allergies to mold. I noticed the issue within several minutes. My lungs began to feel irritated. I didn't mention as not to disquiet my family. Everyone settled into their rooms. My husband was in bed and adult children were also getting there. My husband heard my coughing and wheezing and said we were leaving, I couldn't stay, so made arrangements for a hotel. I didn't want to disturb the kids and didn't say anything earlier. We packed up and let the kids know I couldn't stay.
The kids stayed the night. The shower in the morning over flowed within two minutes of showering, so it was off and on showering for them. They called early that morning and we made arrangements at the hotel to all stay.
When we informed the owner of the issue he was incredulous and texted how he had never had any complaints before and only glowing reviews. We knew that. That is why it was booked.
Mildew issues can creep up on a home. Your nose can be blind to the issue for a long time if you don't have allergies. But it will become a problem. Our hope is the owners have a thorough inspection done under the house and especially around the bathroom. We don't want them to be sickened by it anymore than us.
We stayed 2 nights here and was very pleased. The accommodations we as expected and everything was as promised... which is what a vacationer expects. The home was clean and all amenities needed.
Pros - waking up to cows out the back and horses out the front. The home has a nice gathering area for meals, very open. Short drive to Galway but far enough out where you get a feel for the countryside.
Cons (not a homeowner problem) - the road leading to the home is interesting... very narrow but this is expected in the rural Ireland areas. Drive slow!
Quiet, Peaceful and Restful: This is a great place to relax and unwind after a day out enjoying all that Galway City & County, Connemara, The Aran Islands and The Cliffs of Moher have to offer. Stand out in the front drive on a dark clear night and you will enjoy the wonders of the night sky full of stars. Enjoy sitting out on one of the patios with a book, a beer or a glass of wine [or all three]. There is no hurry here and while the weather is not always guaranteed our hospitality is. We look forward to your visit.
