The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The cottage is great, so nice to escape to the middle of nowhere after a busy week and I love animals so the sheep and horses surrounding the house are an added bonus!

The cottage is very clean and everything is in working order with 2 fireplaces to keep you warm if needed. It has everything you need and isn't too far away from Galway city. It is also very close to a road leading to the ferry for the Aran Islands, which is very convenient as you don't have to go via Galway.

The area out the front of the cottage was undergoing some serious renovation and it was a bit disappointing having found somewhere away from town only to find that we weren't actually alone and there were workmen there til 7pm every night. I might have changed my booking had I known about this, but we were told that it was expected to be finished before we arrived. The house is very well soundproofed so the noise was not an issue and the hosts were very lovely and explained everything and the reasons behind the construction. Future guests should be able to see the lake from the kitchen window which will be nice.
