There’s are pro’s and con’s to this place and if the con’s are an issue for you then stay away, otherwise you’ll probably love it.
Pro’s:
- beautiful location,
- lovely gardens,
- if you have a car then close to Galway city, Brigids garden and lots more
- tennis court, lake, swimming pool etc.. on the grounds
- pics of house are accurate, it does look like that, it’s very cute if you like the old style of period houses - I do and thought it was lovely
- has washer and dryer so great to get the clothes washed after a day out
- nice big common area to sit or eat dinner
- decent little kitchen
- bathrooms are more modern and the water pressure is fantastic
- oil heating so house kept very warm
Cons:
- infested with spiders and insects. Seen in every room. Millipedes all downstairs. Spiders and woodlouse came out from behind pictures and from the ceiling boards on both floors... even landed on someone eating dinner. We were terrified and most didn’t sleep at all. Needs a good fumigations a couple of times a year.
- simply too dirty. Surfaces not cleaned and were sticky, carpets not vacuumed and dust everywhere... I’m really not exaggerating, if you have asthma you’ll be in bother (I don’t and my chest was killing me). Also, found a thumb tac in the pool... Bedding was cleaned alright.
Overall, it was alright but it could have been amazing. A good clean and fumigation (and maybe seal up some gaps) is all it needs.
Honestly though, if spiders and dust don’t bother you’ll probably love it. If at all sensitive to those things don’t risk it, you’ll hate it!!
