What a wonderful home. We really enjoyed the size of the house, it fit our group perfectly. The fireplace was my favorite! The location was great for the places we planned to visit during our time here. The host was very responsive. I would recommend this location

Hi Jerome Thank you for your review of Galway Bay Lodge, Oranmore, Co. Galway. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and the location. We appreciate your business and your comments, the electricity charges have risen substantially the last two years and unfortunately these have to be passed on to the customer as some use more than others. We do hope to welcome you again to Trident Holiday Homes.

Nice house. Nice neighborhood.

House was large, comfortable & in a very nice neighborhood. A little frustrating that heat & hot water were difficult to control. The one time we called the local host, Diedre, with questions, she was very responsive to our immediate needs, but heat & hot water continued to be unreliable

We woke one morning with no hot water. Our son found the water heater and turned it on and gradually we had hot water. Other than that we had a pleasant stay.

Family holiday made easy

We have just had the most fantastic week back home in Ireland visiting family and friends and the Galway Bay Holiday Lodge was the most perfect base to do it from. All ensuite bedrooms. Fantastic size master and the downstairs bedroom perfect for those slightly older or less able to do stairs but still large and also has its own bath and shower. The living space is great for large families with a dining table not only in the fully equipped kitchen but also in the amazingly sized living/dining room. I have to say there was a small issue but the property manager who returns calls and texts all hours of the day and night had it rectified as quickly as was humanly possible over a weekend but nothing stopped us having an amazing time and we’re all ready looking at dates for next year.

Oranmore review

Good location. 3 big bedrooms with en-suite . Good facilities and clean Curtains in the bedroom are extremely light, not lined and no blinds so impossible to have a lie in. Rooms get bright very early. Hot water in upstairs showers and kitchen not working so a plumber had to come out. No hot water on our first morning so had to contact management. I would have expected these to be working on arrival and we had no hot water the next morning as he couldn’t come until the following day

Beautiful property with hot water issues

We stayed for three nights in this lovely home. The unfortunate part of this stay is that we barely had any hot water while we were there. We had to take cold showers based on the way the heating system worked. We shower in the evening and could get a warm show to save our lives. It made it tough at the end of a long day. Also, for the price And in today’s times, there should be WiFi access even if it is a paid amenity. It becomes difficult to plan your stay with no access to Wi-Fi.

Galway 2022

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - so overall very good. However in this day and age the house would benefit from WiFi. The shower was very poor and there was never enough hot water for 6 people. Basic essential were available - but no extras such as a coffee cafetière or egg cups. No welcome pack as promised - towels were extra and only one per person provided at extra cost. No outside furniture or a BBQ which was a shame as the weather was fabulous. We wouldn’t return to this house - as we like a few more home comforts but it was adequate for our stay.

The rental was overall clean, spacious, and comfortable, with plenty of room to settle in and enjoy the stay. The property was well-maintained and provided a pleasant environment in terms of layout and general condition.However, there were a few notable drawbacks. The space was quite drafty, which made it difficult to keep warm, especially given that all heating was powered by electricity. As a result, the cost of heating the property was unexpectedly high. Additionally, the hot water operated on a timer, limiting access to showers outside of set hours—meaning early morning or late-night showers were not possible, which was inconvenient.The rental was overall clean, spacious, and comfortable, with plenty of room to settle in and enjoy the stay.

My reviews on this property (Galway Bay Resort, as it is listed on VRBO, not "Goway") are mixed. The house is clean and comfortable, and located in a safe area. What we found frustrating about our experience with the property management company (Trident) was the difficulty communicating with them. We were required to call the property manager 24-48 hours to get instructions for obtaining the keys: she never answered her phone and I had to resort to emailing the company directly, who tracked her down and had her call me. I messaged her a couple of times during our stay (we had problems unlocking the doors and windows upstairs and consequently those bedrooms were extremely hot and stuffy), but she never responded. The other thing that left a very bad taste in my mouth was the manner in which the property "nickel and dimed" us... I don't expect a VRBO to provide basic supplies, but compared to other places Galway Bay Resort was very poor: there was not a single roll of toilet paper (maybe leave just one?) 1 thin pillow per bed, 1 small towel per guest, no coffee maker, and (read the fine print before you book...) no wifi??? Even though it was clean, we wouldn't recommend or return to Galway Bay Resort.

Super séjour en famille, logement décevant

Très bon sejour dans la région notamment pour visiter le burren, les cliffs of moher et galway. Également pour le connemaraais un peu loin. Déception quant au logement alors que la maison est spacieuse avec des commodites appreciables et située dans un quartier paisible. Déception concernant l'aménagement interieur, le manque de vaisselle et des ustensiles de cuisine très usagers ou absents. De plus, il nous a été demandé de payer l'électricité alors que ve n était pas indiqué dans le descriptif de la location. Nous avons dû acheter du bois pour nous chauffer ! Absence de wifi également un peu gênant pour organiser les visites.

What a mess!

The property listed on VRBO had wrong information listed. There is a third party management company adding another layer of communications to deal with. Our stay was paid for in advance but before we could get the entrance code, I had to give an agent my credit card number over the phone to an individual agent so that I could be charged for electricity. This is an UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS business practice. We were not told there was no wifi available until after we checked in. DEAL BREAKER. Tho generally clean, there were no amenities that I have come to enjoy over the years from VRBO. No coffee or tea, no hand towels or bath mats in bathrooms (unsafe on tiles ), cold water in upstairs sink not working, water standing in the washing machine. Not even an extra roll of toilet paper in the bathrooms. It was the most expensive property we rented. Wished I had stayed at a hotel. I will NOT recommend this property to family or clients. VRBO not up to the warm welcoming standards I've come to expect over the years.

Really nice place

The house is located in a small village called Renville. It is very quiet there and you can relax very well. There is a circular path around the village and you can walk to the ocean. The house has 6 beds and three bathrooms. It is easy to get to Galway and Oranmore has everything you need.
