The kitchen was well- equipped with a spacious dining and living room. Everything was clean, and decorated nicely, with each bedroom having its own theme. The owners were not hovering at all, but ion site and very accommodating to our needs, answering our questions, giving recommendations, etc. When I asked about a recommendation for a restaurant on arriving after a very hectic travel day, she helped with making the reservation for us. She even offered an extra day at the end of our trip, after we were delayed a day due to airline cancellations. We thoroughly enjoyed the town with all of the amazing restaurants, shops, grocery store, and children’s playground all within a comfortable walking distance to the Quay house. We loved the Connemara region including beaches, castles, the national park, and the beautiful Countryside and Atlantic coast! Nothing that I can think of! ##### Daniel Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [CABU By The Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-CABU-By-The-Lakes.h48850549.Hotel-Information) > - [Farnham Estate Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-Farnham-Estate-Spa-Golf-Resort.h1499097.Hotel-Information) > - [Skryne Castle Built in 1142](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skryne-Hotels-Skryne-Castle-Built-In-1142.h35803840.Hotel-Information) > - [Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport-Central.h77932.Hotel-Information) > - [Clayton Hotel Liffey Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Liffey-Valley.h1166873.Hotel-Information) > - [Marina views, Kinsale, sleeps 20, owned by Exquisite Holiday Homes ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kinsale-Hotels-Marina-Views.h45413709.Hotel-Information) > - [Brittas Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brittas-Bay-Hotels-Brittas-Bay-Village-No-3.h48980894.Hotel-Information) > - [Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h1331635.Hotel-Information) > - [Talbot Hotel Clonmel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clonmel-Hotels-Clonmel-Park-Hotel.h7049246.Hotel-Information) > - [Carlton Hotel Dublin Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Carlton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport-Hotel.h1453052.Hotel-Information) > - [Ballynahinch Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballynahinch-Hotels-Ballynahinch-Castle-Hotel.h548932.Hotel-Information) > - [Killaloe Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Killaloe-Hotels-The-Killaloe-Hotel.h15821471.Hotel-Information) > - [Ghan House Carlingford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundalk-Hotels-Ghan-House-Carlingford.h41972370.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cliffe at the Quay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-The-Cliffe-At-The-Quay.h104426642.Hotel-Information) > - [Travelodge Dublin Airport North Swords](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Travelodge-Dublin-Airport-North-Swords.h24018.Hotel-Information) > - [Portmarnock Resort & Jameson Golf Links](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Portmarnock-Resort-Jameson-Golf-Links.h445188.Hotel-Information) > - [Nesbitt Arms Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ardara-Hotels-Nesbitt-Arms-Boutique-Hotel.h15521231.Hotel-Information) > - [Airport View Hotel & Secret Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lusk-Hotels-Airport-View-Hotel-Secret-Spa.h1527144.Hotel-Information) > - [The Strand Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballyliffin-Hotels-The-Strand-Hotel.h15932701.Hotel-Information) > - [Wildwood Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundalk-Hotels-Wildwood-Lodge.h23322687.Hotel-Information) > - [Charming 2-bed Apartment in Donegal Town Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-The-Suite-On-The-Diamond.h46949579.Hotel-Information) > - [St Angela’s Lakeside Aparthotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sligo-Hotels-ST-ANGELAS-LUXURY-APARTMENTS.h39222224.Hotel-Information) > - [Slieve Russell Hotel Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ardue-Hotels-Slieve-Russell-Hotel-Golf-Country-Club.h4952282.Hotel-Information) > - [Blackstairs Shepherds Huts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackstairs-Shepherds-Huts.h95751793.Hotel-Information) > - [The Old Borough by Wetherspoon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-The-Old-Borough-By-Wetherspoon.h49171932.Hotel-Information) > - [Malin Townhouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malin-Hotels-Malin-Townhouse.h42005430.Hotel-Information) > - [Druids Glen Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kilmullin-Hotels-Druids-Glen-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h853698.Hotel-Information) > - [An Chúirt Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gweedore-Hotels-An-Chuirt-Hotel.h17721313.Hotel-Information) > - [Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h2226273.Hotel-Information) ---
