Marshall is a delight. Her love for the property is obvious and a labor of love it is.
Pros: The setting is absolutely gorgeous. The entrance is impressive. We enjoyed the grounds and gardens behind the house. We enjoyed the billiards table too. It’s a good location to explore Galway and Connemara. Our favorite was the sheep dog experience at Killary Sheep Farm. The history and architecture is so fun. It is an experience staying in such a place! We loved the heated floor in the bedroom and the cottage is large with lots of room.
Cons: The furnishings are tired and dated. Bed linens are number one for me and they also need a refresh as they are very worn. I noticed significant dust on lamp shades etc. The pool had green algae so we swam just once. The kitchen had a strange smell coming from the drains or behind the wall, but will admit I’m very sensitive to smells.
The pictures aren’t an accurate representation in my opinion. We enjoyed our stay but would try something different next time.
