Das Haus hat uns gut gefallen, vor allem mit den Tieren ringsum. Die Lage war super, fussläufig zum hübschen Ortskern, mit Pubs und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Schöne Restaurants und sehr netter kleiner Hafen. Hübsch für Spaziergänge rundum. Das Haus müsste besser beheizbar sein und das Warmwasser für die Dusche kam spärlich oder gar nicht. Es wäre wirklich schön, wenn dies vom Vermieter geregelt würde, vor allem weil es schon von vorigen Mietern bemängelt wurde. Der Sitzplatz am Eingang Küche müsste verschönert werden, da der Wiesenplatz zwar hübsch gemacht ist, aber man keine Lust hat alles rüber zu tragen und der Steintisch nicht geeignet ist, um Sachen darauf zu stellen. Der Plastiktisch ist kaputt. Wir haben notdürftig das Bein dran gesteckt. Mit kleinen Verschönerungen wäre das Haus wirklich prima. Betten waren sehr gut und die neuen Schlafzimmer sind hübsch eingerichtet. Einfach regeln, dann kann man das Haus wieder voll umfänglich empfehlen. ##### Martina B.

Ringsum gibt es Weiden mit ein paar Eseln, Schafen, Ziegen und Kühen. Wir waren 10 Leute und haben gut Platz gefunden. Das Haus ist von Innen viel größer als es von Außen wirkt und hochwertig mit Möbeln ausgestattet. Der Objektbetreuer wohnt im Bauernhaus nebenan und war sehr hilfsbereit. KInvara ist ein hübsches Hafenstädtchen und ein guter Ausgangspunkt, um die Umgebung (Galway, Burren, Cliffs of Moher) zu erkunden. Ein hübscher Sandstrand liegt ca. 4 km entfernt. Einziges Manko waren der fehlende Trockner, da die nasse Wäsche auf dem Wäscheständer schlecht trocknet und die fehlende Garderobe, um nasse Sachen aufzuhängen. Denn die hat man in Irland hin und wieder ;) ##### Yvonne B.
