    The shower could have a bit more power ;) but we expected that and planned the washing of our long hair for another day.

    All is as described - we slept so deep! Susie cleans it all herself and you „feel“ that! It’s perfect. Due to the remote location you could easily miss it - we imported the words 3 words location in Google map and found it without problems

    The roads are narrow and so the Pod isn't really easy to reach.

    The pod is comfortable for visiting the Connemara, a relaxing experience in the nature.

    Nothing - everything was perfect.

    Property was extremely clean and comfortable, with everything we needed. Location was so peaceful and quiet, a perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle and stresses of modern life. Hosts were very friendly and helpful, providing lots of information about nearby walks, places to eat etc.

    Absolutely nothing

    Pod was excellent, had everything you would need and more , the dvd player and DVDs were a lovely thoughtful touch for the evening especially if weather wasn't good , the standard of cleanliness was excellent and nothing was any trouble for the hosts ,the view from pod was amazing, lovely local walks ,plenty to do or you have beach just down the road, the amount of information left for you to read about the area is another great bonus, this was our second visit to Earls view and we will definitely be back 😊

    Location was the only small issue for us, we struggled with food and supermarkets but there was a few shops for any necessities.

    Had an amazing stay at Earls View. The weather didn’t play ball but we made the most of it. The pod was so cosy and comfy. Susie recommended some amazing walks which really helped us out for things to do in the area. Would love to go back.

    The only thing was that the stay wasn't long enough .

    The plus sides were the absolute peace and quiet of the location . The pod had everything that you could need for your stay it was immaculately clean the bed was so comfortable and you were far enough from the other pod that you felt completely alone ..

    What a glorious find. Susie and Tom have created space of heaven here: the views (just wow), the proximity to the beach, the pod which is equipped to perfection, the perfect outdoor area… I could go on. Highly recommend taking a trip to Gurteen bay if you’re visiting for longer than a day - about an hour from the pod but worth it for the views on the drive.

    That we didn't book for a 4th night!

    Everything! From the moment we arrived Susie was an excellent host, giving us a guided tour of the Pod, providing us with a Barbeque on request and offering us a detailed itenary of locations to visit and many local walks and beaches we could pick and choose at our own pace. The pod was very comfortable for the 2 of us and really well stocked of all the utensils we might need. This accommodation is in a stunning location, with a calmness and serenity full of nature and ideal for anyone looking to escape a fast paced world. Anyone who is talented enough to paint or sketch would be spoilt for choice in landscapes, flora and fauna. We had both wet and good weather throughout our stay and either didn't hinder our stay as we had a very well covered and private seating area beside our pod. We will definitely return again.

    I fully understand why there is only microwave for 'cooking' . Having a small hob would be a fire hazard in the timber pod, but I missed a normal way to cook something. There is a BBQ outside if you wish. I still think it's 10 out of 10, even when I missed some normal way to cook the breakfast.

    The place and pod was lovely, Tom was also nice. Definitely recommending to stay there, totally different experience, the place was spotless. We had fire in the chimnea, so nice in the evening.
