If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! This house was just perfect for our stay in Galway. It was immaculate, comfortable and very spacious for our large family. Deirdre was an amazing host and not only gave us some fantastic suggestions and advice of things to do in the area, her hospitality, friendliness and welcome basket was an unexpected bonus to our stay as well. We had everything we could possibly need to make our stay comfortable including a well stocked kitchen so we could stay and eat in when we wanted. There were also several outdoor seating areas that were very comfortable and inviting. After visiting the hustle and bustle of Dublin and Killarney it was nice being a little outside of Galway in the quiet countryside, yet close enough to enjoy both Galway and the Aran Islands.

From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the spaciousness of the property. With a large family, having enough room to spread out and maintain a sense of independence was crucial, and Spidell delivered perfectly. The various living areas allowed us to enjoy our own activities, while the communal breakfast area became a lovely spot for us to gather, share meals, and catch up on each other’s adventures.The hosts were absolutely fantastic. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Whether it was recommending local restaurants, providing insights into hidden gems in the area, or guiding us on public transportation options, they were always ready with helpful suggestions. Their warm hospitality made us feel right at home.The atmosphere at Spidell was both welcoming and cozy, which made our family feel relaxed and at ease. It was a perfect blend of privacy and togetherness, allowing us to create lasting memories while enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Ireland.In summary, if you’re looking for a family-friendly accommodation that offers space, comfort, and wonderful hosts, Spidell is the place to be. We left with our hearts full and can’t wait to return! ##### Ginger S. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### David K.

The home is huge and incredibly well appointed, you won't feel like you are at a generic grey VRBO. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need and the bedrooms, laundry and bathrooms go above and beyond to provide a comfortable space. There are several adorable outside sitting spaces that the pictures don't do justice, you really are in an incredibly beautiful, quiet and private part of the country. Deidre answers questions super quickly, and if you're visiting from the US you might have a few about how and when to use various appliances/systems. There is a great instruction binder there too. You have to drive, but are central to be able to easily visit Galway, Kylemore Abbey, and other places on the West Coast. Highly recommend! ##### Cynthia T.

The house and location were beautiful and the nearby town was lovely. It was perfect for our large family group. Deirdre was able to accommodate an early check-in which was greatly appreciated by our group after a long and stressful travel day the day before. It was especially appreciated by our tiny ones who were exhausted. She also had so many things available that helped us feel at home…cots, a high chair, and toys for the little ones (4 mo, 2, and 3). The older kids loved (9 and 14) loved the outdoor space and the games that were there. We loved visiting the town of Spiddal, the craft village, and the local pubs/restaurants. We took several day trips to nearby places including Galway and Kylemore Abbey. It was nice to have a quiet spot to return too. Overall we had a lovely visit and Deirdre’s hospitality was a huge part of that. I hope to be able to come back some day and visit again. ##### Ryanne H.

Spiddel is a scenic town with activities for all: traditional music, shopping, great coffee, and perfect streets for long walks. The house itself, Teach Na Mara, seems to be brand new with every little detail you could possibly need: two kinds of coffee makers, brand new kitchen appliances, turf ready outside, a beautiful bbq area, and loads of space and charm. The owner is the kindest host I have ever encountered. She is creative and empathetic and readily available should you need her. We were here with four children under the age of ten and didn't hear them: this house is so well designed for peace. This house should be at the top of every person's wishlist to enjoy at least once. ##### Erin F. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David B. Sep 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Lovely Home in a Lovely Part of the World This was a 5 star experience. Diedre could not have been more responsive to our requests. The area was lovely for morning walks. Some quality improvement suggestions: 1. The bathroom towels did not absorb water well. You might change to 100% cotton towels. 2. A nice touch would be to provide 100% very large cotton robes. I do this for my house guests in Italy, with 2 in each of my 6 bedrooms across 2 residences. 3. It would be a good idea to use 100% cotton comforter covers and to add a 100% cotton sheet to the contour sheet for each bed. 4. I added screens to each window and door across the 2 residences on my property in Italy. Having screens for each of your windows and doors would enhance the functionality and comfort of your property with the increasingly warm weather. 5.
