    Nothing! A cafetière to make coffee would be super useful for groups but that is no criticism of the property

    Really lovely self contained 2 bed property. The place was really comfortable, well furnished and had everything you need to cook a good meal or even wash your clothes. Helen was really friendly and made sure we had everything we needed but we had space to relax. The house is located in a scenic hamlet, some great running routes and a short 10minute drive into Galway. For those not driving the taxi service in the town both ways is terrific.

    The guests before us didn't clean the filter on the dryer properly. If you're visiting from the US or Canada, make sure you follow the dryer filter cleaning instructions on the sticker inside the door of the dryer. If you don't, your clothes won't dry and the dryer will leak water. So nothing against the hosts, just a reminder to other guests.

    Everything! This guesthouse is the nicest I've stayed at in Europe. The location is perfect, with a countryside feel and only a 10 minute drive to the city. Helen and her husband were very nice and accommodating even though they were unfortunately dealing with a family emergency while we were staying. I'm definitely going to try to stay here again on my next trip to Galway.

    This house was a little gem and perfect for our family trip to Galway with a 9 month old baby. The house is spacious and our little one enjoyed crawling and playing in the living room when we were home. Helen also provided us with a cot and a high chair and suggested places to visit with the baby too, which was great. The house is also not far away from Galway and it is very convenient for a trip around the area.

    Nothing really.

    The challet is really comfy, felt like home. Everything was just perfect for a nice stay. The location is good. Its not in the city center, but its a 10min frive from it, so it wasnt a problem. Although its in the same place as the hosts house, it felt very private. I would come back there always, if i could.

    I can’t say a bad word, we have zero complaints!

    The property is amazing! The owners have thought of every single detail from decorations to comforts and necessities. Even left a lovely welcome basket on the kitchen table. The place was spotless. It has everything you could possibly want if staying for a few days. A nice little kitchen with all your basic cooking needs, washer and dryer. I would highly recommend.
