Traumhafte Aussicht, tolles Haus

Das Haus ist toll mit einem sehr freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Vermieter. Es liegt direkt am Wild Antlantic Way und die Aussicht aus dem Wohnzimmer ist genial. Man kann auf dem Sofa liegen und das Meer betrachten. Es gibt vier Schlafzimmer, ein großes Bad und ein kleines, welches direkt an ein Schlafzimmer angeschlossen ist. Die Betten sind bequem und es funktioniert alles super. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, so dass man dort sich selbst verpflegen kann. Wichtig ist, dass man ein Auto benötigt oder gern mehrere Kilometer läuft. Strand (also Zugang zum Wasser), Einkauf, Pub usw. sind 2 km Minimum. Wir waren mit unseren Ausflügen nur ca. 50 km im Umkreis, aber hatten sehr viel zu sehen und zu besuchen. Fazit: Für einen ruhigen Urlaub ideal.

Zauberhaftes wildromantisches Irland

Schönes Ferienhaus mit einem wunderbaren Panoramablick über den Atlantik. Würden wir jederzeit wieder buchen. Im Ferienhaus gab es keinen Fön, wäre sinnvoll diesen mitzubringen. Das Haus liegt in wildromantischer Umgebung mitten im Connemara Naturpark. Galway, das kleine hübsche Stätdchen Cliften und Westport bis Achill Iland mit seinen schönen Stränden sind in ein bis zwei Stunden gut erreichbar. Zu den Cliffs of Moher sind etwa 3 Stunden. Wir hatten tolles Wetter und eine gelungene, entspannte Zeit in einem wunderschönen Land.

Wunderschönes Feriendomizil

Wir haben eine Woche lang mit Familie und Freunden in diesem herrlichen Haus mit großartiger Sicht auf den Atlantik verbracht und jede Minute genossen. Neben viel Platz für alle (wir waren vier Erwachsene und zwei Teenager) gab es nichts, was wir im Haus oder am Haus vermisst hätten. Es war ruhig gelegen (ohne Straßenlärm o.ä.) sehr gepflegt, charmant modern eingerichtet und wir wurden durch kleine Mitteilungen schnell mit Allem vertraut gemacht. David stand uns zudem jederzeit mit Rat und Tipps zur Verfügung. Danke! Eine große gemütliche Wohnküche bot Platz für ausgedehnte Mahlzeiten und Spieleabende. Das Haus liegt auf einer Anhöhe, so dass man einen traumhaften Blick auf`s Meer hat und in ca. 15 Minuten Fußweg kann man sogar eine kleine Bucht erreichen und die Füße eintauchen. Die Nachbarn waren sehr freundlich und empfahlen uns Abkürzungen über ihre Grundstücke zum Strand (klein aber fein - bei Ebbe!) zu nehmen. Wir haben viele Ausflüge von diesem Haus aus gemacht, waren wandern, baden, surfen und Bootfahren und haben die Inishbofin umwandert und spektakuläre Küstenabschnitte erobert. Wir waren nicht das erste Mal in Irland und sicher nicht das letzte Mal. Dieses Haus ist toll und unbedingt empfehlenswert.

A beautiful view

We had a lovely stay at this Renvyle house. It was comfortable for four friends traveling together and the kitchen was well equipped. It’s location is great for seeing many sights and the little towns of Letterfrack and Tully Cross are charming and friendly. My only suggestion is that the owner disclose in the description of the property that one should not drink the water but buy bottled instead.

West Winds Connemara Stay.

Process of renting was very smooth. Host was always responsive to enquiries. Lovely property with awesome views. Some of the bedrooms need updating. One room was particularly cold as the window was misaligned but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
