Very good

Breakfast good was lovely. The location was just what we wanted.

There was no running hot water from the kitchen tap. Had to boil the kettle to wash the dishes.

Fabulous house, fantastic location, perfect for exploring Galway

Fantastic location. Beautiful wee house. Very comfortable. Lots of goodies in the fridge courtesy of the owner. Everything that you need for a lovely break in Galway.

We could not get the heating on but that was quickly sorted out for us.
