    Nothing tbh! It was just perfect! 👌

    -Easy to find 👌 -Clean & spacious 🫧 -Warm & cosy 🌤️ -Bright & quiet ⭐️ -The neighbour’s lovely friendly dog came to the door to say hello 😍 -Rain drops on the tarp sounds very relaxing, like LOFI rain music ⛈️ -Spent the valentines’ weekend & the place has everything you need for cooking, cutlery, a dinner table, a proper romantic vibe this place has 😻 Yes, I took the time to use emojis as the people running it deserve the award for creating such an amazing space nit far from city to relax, unwind & enjoy privacy living in rural Ireland for a week or a weekend getaway ✨

    There is nothing we don't like. We love the place.

    It has become our favourite place to stay when we are visiting Galway. We have stayed 4 times so far and most definitely will stay again. We love snowdrop.beautiful

    Bigger than expected, very warm ( a few heaters available) and clean, some selection of books and games ( my 4 and 5 years old loved board games) so great for family, great location- about 30 minutes to Galway. We stayed there for 4 nights and my boys loved it

    Wish there was a shade for the skylight.

    We loved the Snowdrop! It’s secluded yet only a 5-minute drive into town. The welcome gift of cookies was much appreciated. There’s a great selection of games and movies if you want to stay in and just hang out for the night. We didn't get to test out the firepit due to the rain, but all in all, we had a great time.

    This has been one of the most peculiar places we've ever slept in! Cosy, adorable, and surrounded by nature! In about 25 minutes by car, you'll arrive in Galway, so the location was spot on! Hope we'll be able to come back soon

    Can't fault anything really, the location is a few minutes out of town so a car would probably be useful in getting there but there may also be buses and taxis that get you there.

    Lots of room inside, felt spacious. All the furnishings were beautiful and everything was provided for. The bathroom was also spacious and spotless. Didn't get to use the outside deck because of the weather but it was also spacious and had great facilities.

    Not a complaint but a mirror in the main room to allow hair drying would be useful

    Extra touches eg biscuits and welcome note. Milk in fridge.

    It would be nice to cover the ceiling view with a curtain or a blinder as the light rays in the morning was very bright. But was definitely enjoyed the view after waking up

    The location was beautiful. it was better than expected. Very comfortable and scenic. All necessary facilities were provided. Even the host was very kind. Definitely will revisit again soon.

    Loved the tent, especially the connection between us inside and the exterior world which was so peaceful- the sound of the rain against the tarp ceiling was divine as was the light from the circular window/sky light in the very centre of the yurt. Very spacious, private and beautiful. Nice outside areas to sit in, we definitely felt close to nature during our stay.

The facilties top notch and the milk and biscuits welcome cuppa treat very nice touch. Definitely in top 3 places that myself and partner have ever visited . 10/10 and will be booking again.
