We had a wonderful time in the home. Incredible views, perfect location, and beautiful home. There are so many historical sights and activities that are easy to get to.

Beautiful views. Convenient to town. Three charming, separate sitting rooms, so lots of space for a larger group. Clean. Amenities….ok.A tip for Americans considering this house — the listing says that 2 of the bedrooms have king beds, but they are definitely not U.S. king-sized beds (probably because it’s IRELAND, not the U.S.!). A king bed in Ireland is slightly larger than a U.S. double bed, but not as large as a U.S. queen. So, an Irish King is not even as large as a U.S. Queen. One bedroom has two twin beds, and the four other rooms each had essentially one U.S. sized double bed (the Irish King is very slightly larger than the Irish double, and the Irish double is about the same as the U.S. double). All the hotels that we've stayed in while visiting Ireland which listed “king beds,” had U.S. sized king beds, or larger, so the bed size at the house was disappointing. But now we know to ask specific measurement sizes next time. The bed size probably doesn’t matter to a lot of folks, but for those who want the larger beds, I hope this is useful information. Nice house overall.

The property was large and ideally located. We enjoyed the magnificent views from every window. It was handsomely furnished.Had some issues with availability of hot water.Property manager responded and had plumber work on the problem. However the supply continued to be intermittent.The lighting switches and filtered water were oddly placed.I would stay there again and definitely recommend this home as a great vacation place.

The views were so incredible in all of the front rooms. The location was perfect for our adventures on the west coast of Ireland. I also LOVED the guide that was sent as it had ideas and suggestions I hadn’t considered. I honestly can’t think of anything. It was such a wonderful stay for our adult family!
