We loved the house and the surroundings. It is very centrally located for connemara park and Kylemore Abbey, corral beaches and the seals always in front of the house. Spacious and tidy rooms. Only let-down for the children was the tapwater coming from a lake that was not suitable for drinking, although Mary confirmed it was perfect for making tea and brushing teeth, my doctor advised not brushing teeth with water that was not suitable for consumption and after that the children did not even risk washing themselves for three days...we tried running a bath but the water was yellow and they did not believe us that it was fine to take a bath in that. We ended up buying bottles of water at Lidl and brushing our teeth and making tea with that not to freak the children out. Also in the abbey the tap water was not suitable for consumption so it is something Mary could do nothing to change. We would have probably been better prepared for it if we had known beforehand. The problem is most likely that we are not used to dealing with tapwater that we cannot drink. Nevertheless we did enjoy our stay very much and Mary always responded to our questions quickly. Thank you for your hospitality, Mary!
