Aug 3, 2024 #### Résumé avec l'avis La maison est très bien située au centre du Connemara. Il y a déjà une jolie petite balade sur la coline d'en face. Bien que la route principale passe en bordure, le bruit ne gêne pas. Le terrain apparait trop bitumé, la maison sans grand caractère, mais l'intérieur est vraiment agréable, très lumineux (dormez avec un masque car jamais de volet dans le pays). Seuls défauts : odeur de fuel près de l'évier de la cuisine; système d'eau à l'étage tonitruant (drôle, mais à couper la nuit !), et surtout capricieux (s'arrête parfois, en plein shampoing...); un ou deux matelas trop minces pour certains. ##### coralie B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Commodore Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobh-Hotels-Commodore-Hotel.h2226786.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Shannon Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Shannon-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Shannon-Airport.h1095.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford Castle](https://www.expedia.ca/Cong-Hotels-Ashford-Castle.h76936.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabra Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingscourt-Hotels-Cabra-Castle-Hotel.h114456.Hotel-Information) > > [Powerscourt Hotel, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Enniskerry-Hotels-Powerscourt-Hotel.h1680006.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Dublin Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Dublin-Airport.h1042443.Hotel-Information) > > [Dingle Skellig Hotel & Peninsula Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Dingle-Hotels-Dingle-Skellig-Hotel-Peninsula-Spa.h5282541.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Limerick](https://www.expedia.ca/Limerick-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Spa.h898071.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Athlone](https://www.expedia.ca/Athlone-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h1076553.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochestown Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Rochestown-Lodge-Hotel-Spa.h1094620.Hotel-Information) > > [Abbey Court](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Abbey-Court.h13231806.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Grand-Hotel.h45673.Hotel-Information) > > [Portmarnock Resort & Jameson Golf Links](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Portmarnock-Resort-Jameson-Golf-Links.h445188.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Juliet Estate, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Thomastown-Hotels-Mount-Juliet-Estate.h891736.Hotel-Information) > > [Trump International Golf Links And Hotel Doonbeg Ireland](https://www.expedia.ca/Doonbeg-Hotels-Trump-International-Golf-Links-And-Hotel-Doonbeg-Ireland.h1579827.Hotel-Information) > > [Ballyseede Castle](https://www.expedia.ca/Tralee-Hotels-Ballyseede-Castle.h525340.Hotel-Information) > > [Carlton Hotel Dublin Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Carlton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport-Hotel.h1453052.Hotel-Information) > > [Kilkea Castle](https://www.expedia.ca/Kilkea-Hotels-Kilkea-Castle.h21240683.Hotel-Information) > > [The River Lee Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cork-Hotels-The-River-Lee-Hotel.h13650.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h77932.Hotel-Information) > > [Hodson Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Athlone-Hotels-Hodson-Bay-Hotel.h2197837.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h1331635.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h2226273.Hotel-Information) > > [The Granville Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Waterford-Hotels-The-Granville-Hotel.h13715.Hotel-Information) > > [Shamrock Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Athlone-Hotels-Shamrock-Lodge-Hotel.h4641300.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyz/vancouver-to-toronto) ### Packages > [Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/117/Mexico) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations)
