We enjoyed our stay on the boat, it is beautifully presented & in such a good location, really handy for walking in to town. Communication with Sandra was great and she sent us on some handy info prior to arrival. Check in and check out process super easy with lockbox. Just two small things I think are worth highlighting - the kitchen is basic, there is no microwave, toaster, grill or oven - the only option is a gas hob which really limits what you can cook, especially as there was a rule of no frying food. It wasn't much of a problem for us but if you were planning on staying longer & wanted to cook some of your own meals I think it would be a struggle. Also, the heating (but not the hot water) is fully dependent on the fire - we found it needed a lot of attention and needed to be kept going for several hours to start to get heat in to most of the radiators. Sandra did kindly send us on some more detailed instructions on the fire when we contacted her. Overall a fun experience if you are looking for somewhere different as a base to explore Galway city!
