    Loving/dining area cramped for 4 people, had to move carefully around each other.

    Clean, warm cottage. Bigger than expected from photos although living area still quite small as shown. Bedrooms lovely, comfy beds. Lots of bathrooms, one for each bedroom.

    It was not within walking distance of a shop or restaurant. The kitchen was tiny( glad there were not 6 of us there) . The mattress in one of the bedrooms had a real dip in it not possible to sleep on that side.

    The cottage was lovely, great to have the 3 bedrooms.

    The house could do with an update, the inside is quite dated.

    Location is absolutely fantastic, close to most of the attractions, plenty to do. Joanne met us at book in and was really helpful and pleasant.

    I would have preferred accommodation closer to Ballyvaughan itself but the location was ok.

    It was good location to explore the local area - abbey hill.

    Have the cleaning staff when they prepare the cottage to turn on the hot water. We were unable to do it and it took a day for the contact to explain to us how to do it.....so we were one day without any hot water. Not acceptable.

    The cottage was clean. Excellent location

    The house wasn't soundproof at all and the upstairs bathroom hard to walk into as it is under the roof. Also, some things looked a bit used, but the value for money was good still.

    Very spacious living room area. The kitchen is big enough for basic cooking and you can eat in the living room with plenty space. The location was great and only a few min away from the sea.

    Downstairs bathroom wasn’t the nicest. The instructions didn’t include that the hot water was on a timer so we worked this out ourselves after a few days. The kitchen blind was broken and couldn’t be opened and the upstairs bedroom blind was falling to pieces. It’s not the best layout of house but it was adequate enough for what we needed it for and if you aren’t a house full wanting to stay in and use the living room and dine comfortably together. It wasn’t dirty but could have done with a more thorough sweep and Hoover round and cleaning of touch points.

    Location was excellent for us, obtaining codes to get the keys was smooth and efficient.

    Fortunately didn't need it but couldn't quite work out what was going on with the heating system. Some instructions would be good.

    Location was excellent. Easy access to all the major attractions in the burren and West coast. Property was spacious and comfortable. Host friendly and communication was good

    Amazing location for a city getaway. Close proximity to both Galway, Cliffs of Moher and Burren. All the necessities for cleaning and cooking are provided by the host which is really nice. We were staying during Christmas time and the host kindly decorated the house for us🥰

    The place is in desperate need of an upgrade. The beds were very lumpy and none of us slept well. Pillows were similarly in need of checking. The kitchen equipment was poor. I tried to fry eggs but the pan was rusty. THere is peeling in the drawers of the kitchen. THe furniture in the living room is old.

    We were in #9 cottage--it was not a B and B. The cottage was clean. The information we received about location, keys, payment was excellent. Joanne was so helpful
