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 > - [Springlawn Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Clarinbridge-Hotels-Springlawn-Bed-And-Breakfast.h6294910.Hotel-Information) > - [Silver Birch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Silver-Birch-House.h44818059.Hotel-Information) > - [Belmullet Glamping](https://www.expedia.ca/Belmullet-Hotels-FurtherSpace-At-Belmullet.h100214034.Hotel-Information) > - [Moore Bay Holiday Homes](https://www.expedia.ca/Kilkee-Hotels-Moore-Bay-Holiday-Homes-18A.h58999302.Hotel-Information) > - [Barr na Sraide Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Dingle-Hotels-Barr-Na-Sraide-Inn.h17412368.Hotel-Information) > - [Fitzgerald's Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bundoran-Hotels-Fitzgeralds-Hotel.h3124372.Hotel-Information) > - [Gateway Lodge Donegal](https://www.expedia.ca/Donegal-Hotels-Gateway-Lodge-Donegal.h11933518.Hotel-Information) > - [Bay View House](https://www.expedia.ca/Kenmare-Hotels-Bay-View-House.h44657760.Hotel-Information) > - [The Mustard Seed at Echo Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballingarry-Hotels-The-Mustard-Seed-At-Echo-Lodge.h5065569.Hotel-Information) > - [Fiddle and Bow Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Doolin-Hotels-Fiddle-And-Bow-Hotel.h38095755.Hotel-Information) > - [Mannin Bay Beach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballyconneely-Hotels-Mannin-Bay-Beach-House.h41970409.Hotel-Information) > - [Ashleigh House](https://www.expedia.ca/Monaghan-Hotels-Ashleigh-Guest-House.h13386288.Hotel-Information) > - [Four Seasons Hotel Carlingford](https://www.expedia.ca/Carlingford-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Carlingord.h105597487.Hotel-Information) > - [Riverbank House Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Wexford-Hotels-Riverbank-House-Hotel.h3893993.Hotel-Information) > - [The Jewel Lodge and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Glengarriff-Hotels-The-Jewel-Lodge-And-Spa.h113755428.Hotel-Information) > - [The Waters Edge](https://www.expedia.ca/Rathmullan-Hotels-The-Waters-Edge-Accommodation.h96251555.Hotel-Information) > - [Shannon Estuary Glamping](https://www.expedia.ca/Labasheeda-Hotels-Shannon-Estuary-Glamping.h38769108.Hotel-Information) > - [Knockranny House Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Westport-Hotels-Knockranny-House-Hotel-And-Spa.h108217.Hotel-Information) > - [Nesbitt Arms Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ardara-Hotels-Nesbitt-Arms-Boutique-Hotel.h15521231.Hotel-Information) > - [Scholars Townhouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Drogheda-Hotels-Scholars-Townhouse.h2204954.Hotel-Information) > - [An Chúirt Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Gweedore-Hotels-An-Chuirt-Hotel.h17721313.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Doolin](https://www.expedia.ca/Doolin-Hotels-Hotel-Doolin.h5950551.Hotel-Information) > - [Joyce's Inishowen](https://www.expedia.ca/Carndonagh-Hotels-Joyces-Inishowen.h54184785.Hotel-Information) > - [Inveraray Farm](https://www.expedia.ca/Beaufort-Hotels-Inveraray-Farm.h6560703.Hotel-Information) > - [Ballybeg Pod 7](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballybeg-Pod-7.h114093895.Hotel-Information) > - [The Townhouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Miltown-Malbay-Hotels-The-Townhouse.h15811420.Hotel-Information) > - [Abbey Hotel Roscommon](https://www.expedia.ca/Roscommon-Hotels-Abbey-Hotel-Roscommon.h527308.Hotel-Information)
