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 > [Oranmore Lodge Hotel, Conference and Leisure Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oranmore-Hotels-Oranmore-Lodge-Hotel.h1041847.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Liffey Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Liffey-Valley.h1166873.Hotel-Information) > > [The Johnstown Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enfield-Hotels-The-Johnstown-Estate.h906965.Hotel-Information) > > [Portmarnock Resort & Jameson Golf Links](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Portmarnock-Resort-Jameson-Golf-Links.h445188.Hotel-Information) > > [Powerscourt Hotel, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enniskerry-Hotels-Powerscourt-Hotel.h1680006.Hotel-Information) > > [Slieve Russell Hotel Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ardue-Hotels-Slieve-Russell-Hotel-Golf-Country-Club.h4952282.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h77932.Hotel-Information) > > [Shearwater Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballinasloe-Hotels-Shearwater-Hotel-Spa.h1717688.Hotel-Information) > > [Ross Lake House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oughterard-Hotels-Ross-Lake-House-Hotel.h115373.Hotel-Information) > > [Allingham Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bundoran-Hotels-Allingham-Arms-Hotel.h37893738.Hotel-Information) > > [The Central Hotel Donegal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-The-Central-Hotel-Donegal.h15716211.Hotel-Information) > > [Kee's Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stranorlar-Hotels-Kees-Hotel-Wellness-Centre.h4902351.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel, Oranmore Galway](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oranmore-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel.h200714.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel & Leisure Club Sligo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sligo-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Leisure-Club-Sligo.h1194108.Hotel-Information) > > [Hillgrove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monaghan-Hotels-Hillgrove-Hotel.h521923.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Letterkenny](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letterkenny-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h972005.Hotel-Information) > > [CABU By The Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-CABU-By-The-Lakes.h48850549.Hotel-Information) > > [WHITES OF WEXFORD](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wexford-Hotels-Clayton-Whites-Hotel.h1639727.Hotel-Information) > > [The Abbey Hotel Donegal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-The-Abbey-Hotel-Donegal.h1884.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloomfield House Hotel, Leisure Club & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mullingar-Hotels-Bloomfield-House-Hotel.h1057525.Hotel-Information) > > [Killashee Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naas-Hotels-Killashee-Hotel.h908930.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Northern Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bundoran-Hotels-Great-Northern-Hotel.h1788827.Hotel-Information) > > [Arnolds Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunfanaghy-Hotels-Arnolds-Hotel.h527334.Hotel-Information) > > [Farnham Estate Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-Farnham-Estate-Spa-Golf-Resort.h1499097.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h1331635.Hotel-Information) > > [Redcastle Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moville-Hotels-Redcastle-Hotel.h1538640.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Rose Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballybofey-Hotels-Villa-Rose-Hotel-Spa.h3584959.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Errigal Hotel Conference & Leisure Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letterkenny-Hotels-Mount-Errigal-Hotel-Conference-Leisure-Centre.h1561953.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Silver Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cork-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Silver-Springs.h522758.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h2226273.Hotel-Information)
