"The property was exactly what we expected. Comfortable, cozy, scenic and the owners were a pleasure to deal with. We met several of the locals on their recommendation, and had an amazing week!! We cannot wait to return!"
"A beautiful and charming house in a very peaceful and quiet area. The house is comfy and cosy, and very well situated, in the heart of Conemara. We were very pleased with it. We loved visiting around, the village of Cong is lovely, and Ashford Castle, very close, is breathtaking."
"It was a very nice house, quiet and confortable with character. The only point of dicussion can be the way to have hot water and heat. If somebobody used water for washmachine or shower, noboby can have water upstairs. "
"The house is very comfortable and very quiet and is even more beautiful than what it appears on the pictures. The village of Clonbur and the surrounding villages and nature are exactly what you are hoping for when you go in Ireland. We strongly recommend this house for people who are looking for quietness, nature and friendly villages. Note: it is not the first time that we rent houses in Europe and in this particular case, we were pleased to find out on our arrival that the house was generously supplied in terms of basic items such as soap, sugar, toilet paper, etc. It may looks trivial but being on a jet lag, it is appreciated not to have to run for these essential things on the first day."
Das Ferienhaus entsprach nur in seiner wunderschönen Lage zwischen den Loughs unseren Vorstellungen. Der Preis ist der eines 5 Sterne Hauses, das Haus entspricht in seinem Zustand lediglich max. zwei Sternen. Davon einmal abgesehen, dass es bei unserer Ankunft nicht sauber war (Badezimmer, Spinn- und Staubweben in allen Räumen, verdreckte Teppiche,...) hat uns vor allem der intensive Schimmelgeruch im Wohnraum und unteren Schlafraum gestört. Diese beiden Räume sind nicht bewohnbar.
