The Laura Lucy is quirky, cozy and unique. It is located in a great area that is perfect for exploring Galway. The boat has a rich history and spacious layout that was much larger than anticipated. If you're comfortable with slightly off grid living this spot will be comfortable.
Due to an unexpected storm, we experienced a number of issues. Leaks from the roof in the bedroom, a large pooling of water in the kitchen, extremely loud and persistent scraping all night against neighbouring boats, and an early morning fire alarm. The bad weather prevented the boat from properly expelling fumes from the heater, which caused the bedroom to fill with a burning smell/fumes and forced us to evacuate after the fire alarm sounded.
Personally, our stay was not great but there is a ton of potential if the weather is nice. Essentially, beware of booking if the forecast looks bad.
We appreciate the hospitality and kindness provided by Sam and Dave, but this accommodation had shortcomings.
Lastly, after reaching out to the host to explain our concerns and reasons for our cancellation we received an extremely bizarre and disturbing message from Martha in which she told us:
"I hope you die screaming"
and
"God sent the storm because he hates you"
Yikes... Safe travels!
