Despite our uncertainty upon our arrival of where the building was that we were staying in, this was such a beautiful place to stay. The location was ideal for some great site seeing and to relax with some down days midway through our vacation. Finola was a fantastic hostess and very accommodating. We can’t wait to stay there again.

An idyllic break

This was the perfect stay for our family. As well as a gorgeous and clean property, Finola and John were faultless hosts. They answered all of our questions, have exceptional local knowledge and are warm and welcoming. The location is easy to get to Galway while offering beautiful countryside.

What a BEAUTIFUL setting in the Irish countryside just outside of Galway! We LOVED our stay. The carriage house was very clean, charming and perfect for 4 of us. Our host was so gracious and what a pleasure to meet her. I would highly recommend this Beautiful place which was only about a 20 minute drive into Galway.

Great eacape to the countryside

Overall we had a great stay. Used the location as a countryside home base and explored the region. Was a harder to find location as google maps struggled a bit and wifi was spotty at times. Finola was a very gracious hostess.

Gorgeous cottage; picturesque location; lovely hosts

We loved our stay in this beautifully renovated and decorated cottage! The bedrooms and bathrooms are particularly comfortable, with lashings of hot water and very effective central heating - used once when we had a chilly morning amongst the fabulous sunny days! Finola and John couldn't have been more helpful, from helping us out with carrying our cases upstairs to recommendations for day trips out from this great location!

Fantastic country getaway

We had a fantastic time on the Lisdonagh estate. We had ample space for the family and the apartment was well equipped. Our hosts were super friendly and even let my son ride the donkey, which was a highlight for him. 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.

Communication was easy and great. Clean space, and very quiet area. Firm Mattress, not the best pillows but not horrible. A bit of a drive to most things, but pretty area.

Nice place and nice stay

We enjoyed our stay and the house was very nice, clean and the beds were comfortable. The only thing we would suggest is a shade over the sky light in one of the bedrooms and little bigger tv in living room area. The house is situated in a nice country setting and very quiet. 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. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home.

Beautiful Country Setting and House

The pictures online are accurate. The two-story unit is beautifully decorated and very comfortable with excellent bathrooms and a very quiet setting. The 200 acre estate has beautiful walks and vistas. We enjoyed beautiful daytrips, especially Achill. The owners live onsite and could not have been more helpful. The house is 3 miles away from a town, so plan to pick up groceries and beverages en route. Highly recommend.

A lovely stay in beaufiful, peaceful surroundings

We stayed on a beautiful estate surrounded by horses grazing on the land and their very own donkey, Jack Derby. 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. The sun sets late in Ireland.

Charming but remote

We loved our host Finola and the accommodations were charming and spacious, but the location was further from Galway than anticipated. 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. Our stay here was unique and memorable on our overall Ireland adventure.

Charming, great location but issues.

The decor is lovely, the location is peaceful yet very well positioned. 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.

With the property being down a private drive, pictures for checking in or an explanation of gate would have helped us. We also were unsure which building was the correct one or what door. Hostess and husband were so kind and welcoming. Supplying hand soap at the minimum would have been nice as people tend to not travel with hand soap.

Magical getaway

We're so glad we decided to stay outside Galway instead of in town. The scenery, grounds, and accommodation were all picture perfect. One could totally believe the history of the fairies fills this forest. Finola was very responsive to all questions and check-in and out couldn't have been easier. She also made an excellent restaurant recommendation. We loved being able to have a dinner in our place as well so we could sample all the whiskeys we've been purchasing on our distillery road trip. We would absolutely stay here again.
