Awesome house. Exactly as online. Well stocked. Snacks, milk, and fruit were there for us. Not much capacity for garbage for a large group but other than that it was an amazing house for a large group.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Connemara and the house was a great base from which to explore.
The house was very clean, comfortable and well equipped.
The holiday was tainted at the end with a surprise visit from the owner to settle up fees for waste & fuel, which we hadn’t appreciated were additional to what we’d paid to stay for one week.
The fuel charge is in fact stated on the HomeAway website but wasn't mentioned anywhere else in the information provided by the property manager or the owner.
When we arrived we were not greeted at the house (as is typical with these types of rentals) which meant we didn’t have a meter reading on arrival.
Also, bags of waste were charged per bag however there weren’t facilities in the village to dispose of plastic & cardboard.
In my experience of rentals these costs are typically built in so that customers can enjoy their holiday without worrying about extra costs. We had 11 people staying at the house so it was impossible not to generate waste. The owner admitted the waste goes in their commercial waste bins....so a bit of a tax rather than a genuine cost incurred by the owner which left a bad taste.
In the end the owner opted not to charge us but it was a shame to end the holiday on a negative note.
