    It would be great to leave instructions on how to use all the appliances. Also the bedroom on the immediate left upon entering had a foul odor.

    The location was perfect. Close to restaurants and shopping.

    Nothing!

    Beautiful House with a great vibe! We loved the simple, but modern & stylish design, it was well equipped with everything you could need, the communication with the owners was super nice - definitely would book it again! Great place also to explore Galway and Connemara! And the kids loved the lawn in the back to play and how close it was to walk to a beach!

    There continues to be a bad smell in one of the bedrooms. Could it be a sewer issue? We did use the air purifier, which helped. Also, there was no soap in the bathrooms, and no soap for the dishwasher. Also no dishtowels in the kitchen.

    The location, views, and style and decor of the home are all beautiful, and we thoroughly enjoyed having such a lovely home to relax in. It was easy to get into the house, and everything was in working order.

    One of the bedroom smells bad as other reviwers pointed out. There were air purifier and difusor, so I think the owner know about it and try their best to remove the smell, however it was not really worked out. There were some small stuffs to be fixed out, but Sean was willing to solve the problems immediately.

    The house is near from Furbo and Spiddal beach. A small village, Barna is nearby and there is a supermarket and restaurants. Galway is just 20 minutes away, so it is really a great location. The house is pretty new and equipped everything you need, even a baby chair and plastic bowls for baby. I would recommend this house for the people who has children. From the living room, you can see a beautiful scenery with ocean. The owner, Sean is extremely helpful and easy to communicate. Overall, I enjoyed my holidays in this house.

    Wifi signal was poor but I put this down to its location and this wasn't a major issue for us.

    Highly recommend this excellent house in a lovely location with fantastic views, close to Furbo and Spidal. Very well equipped and spotlessly clean. We had a minor issue which the owner dealt with very quickly and efficiently.

    The beds were a little uncomfortable. We could not find how to open the velux window in the living area, this would have cooled the room down a lot had we of been able to open it.

    The location of the house was ideal for us having young children. We had beaches within walking and driving distance either side of us in Furbo and Spiddal. We were also only a drive away from Salthill, where the children enjoyed a trip to the funfair. Pádricin’s restaurant located in Furbo was an ideal place to enjoy lunch or dinner overlooking the sea, after a day at the beach. I would highly recommend a trip to this property, even if it is a base for touring what other beautiful sights Galway has to offer. Having the comfort of a house to go to each evening was like a home away from home. My children did not want to leave after our 5 days, they would easily have stayed as long as they could 😃

    Spiddal village is a half-hour walk away. We had a small child with us so that was a little bit far for us. Overall, we felt that the cost of the house was too expensive.

    It's a beautiful house, fully equipped with everything you need for your stay. The decor is very modern and the garden is nicely kept.

    On the downside, had trouble finding the house due to no cell signal while driving through rural Ireland and then no response on the number provided by the property. Traffic noise, inferior quality and quantity bedlinen and small beds, let the property down , otherwise a super place.

    The house was spotless with excellent kitchen facilities and is close to Galway Town.

    We found the beds too small and the pillows too flat, which did not make us feel well-rested on our road trip. There could be some room for improvement with the beds. The clothesline inside the house was broken, so we also struggled to hang our washing.

    The house had all the charm as we expected and was also very well-equipped.

    hoy water did not work in one of the bathrooms for most of the day. it suddenly started working on the last day but we were already leaving. There were no clear instructions on how to use the washer, get the shower to work. There was a mildewed smell downstairs. an air filter helped that but then there were no enough electrical outlets in the room where it was. Beds were not particularly comfortable. there were not enough pillows or towels. heater in one of the bedrooms did not work.

    the house was spacious with a sea view

    A house relatively close to Galway

    The house is on a very busy road with a speed limit of 70kph. I guess that when the windows are open, one hears a lot of traffic noise. Looking through the window on the second floor, one could see the sea. However, access to the sea was limited. There was apparently a public area to get to the beach that was within walking distance, but it was closed, and it meant having to drive somewhere to access the sea. So while there was a small window of 'sea view', there was no sea access. I must say that the beds were less than desired- too soft, too small and sagging in the middle. It's not too close to Galway- it takes a bit of time to get to the city. There were buses but not close by. We had a lot of trouble finding an ATM in the vicinity. I found it rather expensive.

    It is a spacious place with three bedrooms. There was plenty of room in the bedrooms for luggage, and outside of the bedrooms, there was also room for stuff. There were two bathrooms, which makes a difference when traveling with friends. But the bathroom we had was really tiny. The combined kitchen and dining area were upstairs and were spacious with a fully equipped kitchen with an induction stove, microwave, and tools for cooking. There is a Nespresso coffee maker, so bring capsules with you-I am not sure why people don't advertise this in the description of the property, so one doesn't show up without morning coffee. The dining room table was large, and there was ample living room furniture. There was a large flat screen tv that worked well. There were a washer and dryer in the living room area with soap, which made washing clothes nice. There was ample parking on the property.

    Downstairs the bedrooms with ensuite were too cramped, I feel one large bathroom may have suited better. Also there was an issue with the plumbing as a faint sewage smell in one room and the shower didn't drain very well in another. More than one pillow on the beds would have been great too.

    Upstairs was excellent, great views out to the sea and the kitchen/living/dining area was spotless with lots of facilities
