Accogliente cottage sulla baia di Galway con favolose viste sul mare e Burren

Thank you for the kind words...we finally got the WIFI straightened out. The real mystery is who unplugged it! Hope you'll come again, Rick

Thanks, Mary, glad you enjoyed our "little piece of heaven" Rick Considine

Glad you enjoyed our "little piece of heaven". We lived in that little house for 8 years and were happy as "bugs in a rug", however happy that is. Hope to meet you one day and wish you all the best! Rick Considine

We are very sorry that you were disappointed during your stay. It is a 1950’s cottage and although renovated with modern comforts, part of the charm is that we tried to keep the property as authentic as possible. As to your complaints: There was no direct contact with the administration, only by telephone: • While our manager did not meet you, she is just a phone call away. In fact, many of your issues could have been fixed if you had just called her, she is very responsive. She would have suggested you store your luggage in the shed out back (as we do when we are there) if you had only asked. The cottage itself is small: • We believe that our description of the cottage is as honest and accurate as it could be. We accurately describe it as small and comfortable for 4 people. The living room and kitchen offer enough space for 2 or 3 people, but it will be too tight for 4. • This is a matter of opinion/expectation. We have rented to over 250 guests, and you are the first who has ever said it’s too tight for 4 people. We have successfully hosted dinners for 6 people at that table (simply by moving it lengthwise). The rooms are in need of renovation. The paint on the ceiling is cracked almost everywhere and there are spiders: • We painted all of the walls of the cottage within the last year. We visited in April to open up the cottage and we noticed no cracked paint on the ceiling at that time. We will fix anything that needs fixing when we return in November. As for spiders, you are in rural Ireland and in nature which is part of the charm. Unfortunately, this means that it can happen that an occasional spider may venture inside. But I can assure you the cottage is cleaned thoroughly before your arrival. The kitchen appliances are OK, but old and in need of maintenance: • Our manager has said all the appliances are in working order, we are a bit bewildered as to what you feel needs maintenance? There is no dishwasher: • We have noted that in the description of the cottage The rooms will be electrically heated, unfortunately the humidity is always high: • We could have easily adjusted the heat and humidity, again, if you had only asked… The location. Very small and the only option was the small SPAR: •It seems obvious this was you first trip to rural Ireland, as many towns have just one market. There is a full grocery store 20 minutes away in Kinvara, again, had you only asked, the manager could have helped you. We suggest you research and pay attention to the details provided in the description before you use VRBO again so that you are not disappointed. Sincerely, The Considines

Thanks for your great reivew. We are always SO happy when our guests enjoy our "little piece of heaven"!! Hope you'll come again, Rick, Marcia, John, and Dave Considine
