We booked Anne’s house at the last minute for a trip to see our son who was staying in the Gaeltacht. We travelled with our two other sons aged 16 and 8 and really didn’t know what to expect, particularly as it seemed such good value.
First off it should be explained that Anne’s house normally hosts teenage students for the summer for the local Gaeltacht. As a result the room is basic and shows signs of wear by teenagers. However that’s about as negative as I can get. The place was spotlessly clean, the beds were freshly made up, we were given plenty of clean towels and toiletries and we had access to a kitchen and seated area.
For the price we’d paid we hadn’t expected to get breakfast included but Anne had the table laid out with a choice of cereals (brand names too) along with a fresh loaf of bread for toasting, butter and marmalade. We also had use of a kettle to make our own tea and coffee along with a job to cook meals and a microwave, all of which were available to us at any time of the day or night.
Anne was an excellent host, very friendly, willing to do whatever needed to be done to make our stay a pleasant one. Her house is located in a beautiful part of west county Galway, down a very quiet cul de sac. Our room had a stunning view over the bay which looked even more amazing because of the lovely weather we had.
We would have no hesitation to recommend Anne’s house and hope that we get a chance to visit again.
