Finola was a very gracious host. Check in was seamless as the owners live nearby. On departure we just had to leave the key in the door. Every little request was dealt with lighting speed. She even left a box of lights and decorations for our Christmas tree that I told her we would be bringing along.
She is a host that goes above and beyond the call of duty.
This is a really beautiful, serene location within easy reach of Galway, Tuam, Cong and Headford.
We enjoyed a short walk each morning down the driveway to the Gate House, encountering horses and sunrises over Lough Hackett en route.
Guests cars are conveniently parked a few metres away and are out of sight from the small courtyard which you see from the front windows.
An incomparable heritage property ambience.
The guest enjoys a very generous division of space with two public rooms downstairs and two huge en suite bedrooms with jacuzzi baths upstairs. As there were just two of us we indulged and used the separate bathrooms for our stay.
The galley kitchen, which served us very well for our week long stay, was equipped with a high end Neff gas hob and electric oven as well as a Neff dishwasher. There was a generous sized fridge at eye level and a washing machine below it. All the appliances were very tastefully concealed behind wooden panels.
Very warm and cosy throughout with amazing underfloor heating downstairs so that even in December in Ireland you can lounge around without shoes. I really loved this aspect of our stay. The heating system was very user friendly.
Fabulous Georgian style colours and decor throughout.
We loved the sumptuous towels (We love Vossen)
Plenty of plugs for electronic devices located throughout, especially by the bed.
We enjoyed a really special week here in our own country house where family and friends could call by.
