Great base for holiday, had a great week in Galway/Clare. Very friendly hosts. Only slight negative was no TV in property but like I said we had a great time so that didn't turn out to be a problem for us. Definitely would return.

Overall the stay itself was good. The accomodations are comfortable, roomy for 2, and the location is perfect as a base. Very short walk to pubs, grocery, and other shops. The listing, however, appears old/outdated, as are the surrounding area. There also is a conflict between the listing and the holiday home management group, Trident Holiday Homes. While the owner (?) appears lovely, the holiday rental company's employees (who manage the property) are rude, send generic messages contradicting the listing, and provided numerous contact names and phone numbers before we reached someone local (Liz).
