Gorgeous cottage; picturesque location; lovely hosts
We loved our stay in this beautifully renovated and decorated cottage! The bedrooms and bathrooms are particularly comfortable, with lashings of hot water and very effective central heating - used once when we had a chilly morning amongst the fabulous sunny days! Finola and John couldn't have been more helpful, from helping us out with carrying our cases upstairs to recommendations for day trips out from this great location!

Fantastic country getaway
We had a fantastic time on the Lisdonagh estate. We had ample space for the family and the apartment was well equipped. Our hosts were super friendly and even let my son ride the donkey, which was a highlight for him. It was the perfect location to take day trips to Athenry, Ross Errilly Friary, Clifden and more, then we'd come home to the relaxing serenity of the countryside.

This was the perfect stay for our family. As well as a gorgeous and clean property, Finola and John were faultless hosts. They answered all of our questions, have exceptional local knowledge and are warm and welcoming. The location is easy to get to Galway while offering beautiful countryside.

A lovely stay in beaufiful, peaceful surroundings
We stayed on a beautiful estate surrounded by horses grazing on the land and their very own donkey, Jack Derby. If you call to Jack, he will come to the fence. He lets you pet him, and he expects carrots in return. John and Finola are gracious hosts, and it was nice to greet them every day. There have a beautiful garden that they lovingly care for, and many of the flowers bloomed during our 11-night stay. We enjoyed taking daily walks on the property, some of which were around 9 PM. The sun sets late in Ireland.

Nice place and nice stay
We enjoyed our stay and the house was very nice, clean and the beds were comfortable. The only thing we would suggest is a shade over the sky light in one of the bedrooms and little bigger tv in living room area. The house is situated in a nice country setting and very quiet. We loved the scenery and the houses. Our son stayed in the big house with his rugby teammates and was very nice as well. If we ever come back to Ireland we would stay again. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home.

Beautiful Country Setting and House
The pictures online are accurate. The two-story unit is beautifully decorated and very comfortable with excellent bathrooms and a very quiet setting. The 200 acre estate has beautiful walks and vistas. We enjoyed beautiful daytrips, especially Achill. The owners live onsite and could not have been more helpful. The house is 3 miles away from a town, so plan to pick up groceries and beverages en route. Highly recommend.

Charming but remote
We loved our host Finola and the accommodations were charming and spacious, but the location was further from Galway than anticipated. It was easily 30 minutes, not the 20 min indicated in the listing. Also there was no clothes drier or usable boat as listed. However, the property was lovely and a short walk to the lake with the farmland and animals around was a highlight of our stay. Finola was an energetic, positive, and gracious host. Our stay here was unique and memorable on our overall Ireland adventure.

Magical getaway
We're so glad we decided to stay outside Galway instead of in town. The scenery, grounds, and accommodation were all picture perfect. One could totally believe the history of the fairies fills this forest. Finola was very responsive to all questions and check-in and out couldn't have been easier. She also made an excellent restaurant recommendation. We loved being able to have a dinner in our place as well so we could sample all the whiskeys we've been purchasing on our distillery road trip. We would absolutely stay here again.

Charming, great location but issues.
The decor is lovely, the location is peaceful yet very well positioned. The kitchen though Tardis-like has an oven, hob, fridge and dishwasher. There is a washing machine but, not as listed, a dryer. The host did offer to dry clothes on our last evening when I contacted her about the washer/dryer. The jacuzzi bath in the master does not work.

Stunningly beautiful and comfortable accommodations on historic property!
First, Finola and John are the most lovely, interesting and warm hosts. The property is a dream setting in the countryside, a historic Irish manor house on 200 acres of land with a small lake and many horses (my 2 young daughters loved feeding and petting the horses)! The accommodations are beautiful and very comfortable (we stayed in a 2 bedroom Villa for a week). Great location for day trips to Galway, Mayo, Aran Islands, Connemara, Clifden, etc. Or instead to just relax on the stunning property with a book and a drink on a nice day. In summary, a beautiful fairy-tale country setting with wonderful owners!

A piece of heaven in Headford
Extrordinary surroundings and accomodation. A little bit dilapidated, but still stylish, luxorius and peaceful place. Our toddler totally enjoyed running around the estate and in particular the sheep and the horses. Had there been a check-in process, it would have been easier to avoid some misunderstandings. Apparently there had been small plumbing issues and shower heads had been removed. This made it difficult to wash up for the first night, but we were given one shower head on the second day. Also we were a bit cold because we didn't know how the heating systems worked. But nevertheless it was a great place and will definately return some day.
