Great place to stay to enjoy eclectic historical yet modernized atmosphere! Off the beaten path so you are removed from the crazy of Galway City yet just about 30 min and you’re right there in the thick of it! Plenty of rooms/beds, en-suite bathrooms/showers in all the upstairs rooms which was grand! The grounds are beautiful, the host & hostess are very nice and responsive with any questions. My friend and I truly enjoyed the time we spent!

Amazing!

We had a fantastic time at the Coachhouse. Communication, check in, we’re all top notch. The Coachhouse was so charming. Such a peaceful setting and a place to truly unwind yet close enough to Galway, Ashford Castle, the Cliffs etc. We had a great time exploring and having downtime. The drive into the property is something from a fairytale! We have stayed at a lot of vacation rentals and this is one of our top stays ever! Highly suggest!!

Lovely country estate!

Finola and John were great hosts....everything was perfect! Even when the hot water went out unexpectedly, they were quick to fix the issue and left us flowers and a note when it was fixed! Great country location but still close driving distance to everything we wanted to see and visit while we were there. Grocery store and restaurants close by in town too. Thank you for a beautiful place to enjoy our family time! Your dog and horses were the final touches on a perfect stay!

Lovely experience near Galway

Our stay in the renovated coach house of a large Georgian estate was entirely happy. The coach house faces a large, car-free courtyard with attractive plantings. From our living/sitting room the view from the window was a grassy lawn and an old stone wall--we could imagine ourselves lords of the manor. The interior is comfortable with a modern kitchen. The primary bedroom suite is elegant and spacious. We'd come back!

Just Fine

It suited our needs just fine for a short three night stay. The one bathroom shower didn’t work but there were two others that did so I didn’t even contact the property manager. The same bedrooms heat didn’t work but the comforters were so heavy that we managed to be comfortable enough and the heat coming from the bathroom took the edge off.

Thank you for taking the time to write your experience of the property which I do have to come out with hands up that the booking was not flagged so we were trying to play catch up when the guests arrived The property was cleaned and ready but we would always have the heating on in advance but had not in this instance . The situation was rectified immediately and the owner (lives on site) and checked with the guests who said that they were happy with everything. We rely on and welcome feedback from guests so if there are any issues that arise ( heater not on or working - this time of year , mid November , sometimes rads need to be freed) PLEASE make us away of it at the time , message us, these are all easy things to correct but happy that you were warm enough and enjoyed everything else about the property and the location worked for you. Kind Regards John & Finola

It was a beautiful location! The drive there felt surreal. The grounds have beautiful landscaping and you can tell that they take good care of it. The only thing I would recommend is a place to sit to really enjoy it all. The photos of this listing need to be updated. The exterior, living room, dining room, and bedrooms were all different than what this listing shows. Little disappointed by that since we are photographers and wanted the look that was advertised. It was still lovely nonetheless. The owners were so friendly and had wonderful conversations with. The beds were incredibly comfy and we had the best sleep there out of all the places we stayed in Ireland. Full kitchen, washer and dryer, high chair, and en suite bathrooms were super appreciated. Our family of 6 were cozy and enjoyed our stay here. Thank you!

Gateway to the West in home away from home

The house was lovely, situated in a quiet courtyard with the kitchen being a highlight of the premises. The delph and utensils supllied were of high quality and a big help when travelling with a hungry family. If you like to holiday in an unspoilt area where archaeology and history abound this is the place for you. On the border between Galway and Mayo you can avail of the best both counties have to offer. Galway city and Salthill are easily accessible. As is Cong if you like cycling and forest trails. Finola made us so welcome and was always available if needed with recomendations and was very kind to our kids. Róisín and Tom.

Real feel of Ireland.

This was a beautiful location except the driveway into the place was pretty long and narrow. But it was such a pretty place. The only complaint I had was the bathrooms were all upstairs so you had to climb 14 steps to get there. By the picture it looks like it is a separate house but it is attached to 2 or more other cottages. It was still very nice and had the cutest dog chained to his dog house. Very friendly. If you don't like deep into the country side it is not for you. But if you like a real feel of Ireland it is a wonderful experience. I would go again.

Not given room we booked

We weren't able to stay together. We were 4 people, husband and wife and son and friend so we needed 2 rooms one with 2 beds or a 3 room unit. We had booked the coach house and we were put in another room. And one of our party was put in a separate room. Furniture was uncomfortable, bed needed more pillows, hot water wasn't working for shower, and internet was intermittent at best.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know of your experience prior to your arrival , we did inform you that the Coachouse was not available for your stay (3 bedrooms) but we were delighted to upgrade you to one of the Villas (2 bedrooms each with luxury bathroom ensuite) and also a third bedroom with private bathroom so your boys would not have to share a bedroom. You certainly gave no indication at the time that you were not happy with the arrangement as offered and the complimentary guinness which we joked about. There was no issue with hot water during your stay that we were made aware of at the time but the internet was intermittant due to the storm conditions on the 4th October . I am really sorry that the experience did not live up to your expectation and if we had any inkling that you were dissatisfied in any way , we would have welcomed the opportunity to refund you and for you to get alternative accommodation . with every best wishes John & Finola Cooke
