It was the perfect location to take day trips to Athenry, Ross Errilly Friary, Clifden and more, then we'd come home to the relaxing serenity of the countryside. ##### Martin G.

We loved the scenery and the houses. Our son stayed in the big house with his rugby teammates and was very nice as well. If we ever come back to Ireland we would stay again.

The house is 3 miles away from a town, so plan to pick up groceries and beverages en route. Highly recommend. ##### carol s.

It was easily 30 minutes, not the 20 min indicated in the listing. Also there was no clothes drier or usable boat as listed. However, the property was lovely and a short walk to the lake with the farmland and animals around was a highlight of our stay. Finola was an energetic, positive, and gracious host.

The kitchen though Tardis-like has an oven, hob, fridge and dishwasher. There is a washing machine but, not as listed, a dryer. The host did offer to dry clothes on our last evening when I contacted her about the washer/dryer. The jacuzzi bath in the master does not work. ##### Brenda H.

If you call to Jack, he will come to the fence. He lets you pet him, and he expects carrots in return. John and Finola are gracious hosts, and it was nice to greet them every day. There have a beautiful garden that they lovingly care for, and many of the flowers bloomed during our 11-night stay. We enjoyed taking daily walks on the property, some of which were around 9 PM.

First, Finola and John are the most lovely, interesting and warm hosts. The property is a dream setting in the countryside, a historic Irish manor house on 200 acres of land with a small lake and many horses (my 2 young daughters loved feeding and petting the horses)! The accommodations are beautiful and very comfortable (we stayed in a 2 bedroom Villa for a week). Great location for day trips to Galway, Mayo, Aran Islands, Connemara, Clifden, etc. Or instead to just relax on the stunning property with a book and a drink on a nice day. In summary, a beautiful fairy-tale country setting with wonderful owners! ##### Patrick N.
