A wine bar is also featured. The property is 10-minute drive from Kylemore Abbey and Connemara National Park. To secure your reservation we require a deposit paid on booking for the balance of the first night's stay (or a 50% deposit, depending on length of stay), and the outstanding balance paid 1 month prior to arrival. Your reservation may be cancelled and is not confirmed until payment has been received. Please note that all payments are non-refundable. A refundable security deposit will be required on the day of arrival of €1,000. This is held as a pre-authorization on a credit card to cover any damages or excessive noise caused at night that may disturb the neighbours etc
