    Nothing related to the cottage or the hosts. But Booking.com does not clearly state that you'll have to pay directly the host...!

    Great stay in this old fashioned BnB, confortable, well equiped. Different options for the breakfast, which was really good ! Hosts were very thoughtfull too.

    Rooms do not lock with a key. Also, I would have preferred having plain white (or another colour) sheets, even though it was a cottage.

    The hosts were really nice. The setting of the cottage lovely. The hoem made breakfast was very good as well.

    We weren't told if there was a sitting room or space that we could use other than the bedroom. Though, as our room was large enough it didn't impact us particularly.

    Quaint building, beautiful flowers, well maintained garden, easy to access and come and go as we liked, helpful recommendations of local amenities, good hot shower, comfortable room, delicious breakfast

    I'm not a dog person, so I wouldn't recommend to people who, like me, don't feel at ease having dogs around inside the house. Btw my wife and daughter love dogs instead, so they would def add that to the pros!

    Good location, in the countryside right outside Galway. We rented a room with private bathroom for the night. The room is warm and generally comfortable. The owner and host of the cottage, who lives there, is a kind lady. She prepared an excellent breakfast in the kitchen and provided helpful information about the surroundings.

    There's not a lot to dislike about this spot.. Only minor problem was the room was on the coolish side of things.. Could of did with the heating on..

    This place was ideal suited for our visit.. 15min approximately drive to elf town in galway racecourse.. Ideal journey for the kids 👌

    Wish for the price it would have come with complimentary breakfast, even if it were just yogurt, cereal and fruit. Would have been nice to have some lights on upon our arrival too, but nothing too concerning, just made me hesitant that we weren't in the right place when arriving at dark.

    Host was lovely, though we got to know their dogs more than them (which wasn't anything our group minded one bit!). Nothing was wrong with the stay but it didn't exceed expectations. I feel the price should have come with a complimentary breakfast, since the room wasn't anything too special. The host requested cash payment only but I did not know this until day of; she was flexible and accepted my card payment instead, which was nice. You can easily hear others in the house but luckily, noise levels were maintained throughout the evening/night. No complaints really, but nothing too special worth noting either. Their dogs were what stuck out the most, so be aware if you aren't a dog friendly person - it's not the place for you :) Free parking on site, which was great for us.

    Initially I was unsure about staying in a property where the owner had dogs. However, the dogs were companion animals for the host, and I appreciate that. The dogs did not cause me any anxiety

    Cosy. Quiet location. Host helpful with suggestions on where to visit.

    We didn’t think it was clear where the check in area was into the property. Also the check-in time of 7:30 pm seem very late. Caroline did call us to let us check in one hour early which was very much appreciated.
