Room with a view and a dog

We had a wonderful stay at the Well House in Kinvara. The house was comfortable, perfectly situated, and ideally accommodated our group of 6. It was made even better by the presence of Rover, the resident Border Collie. We would go back again in a heartbeat.

Nice place, but no really redy for 10 people.

Nice place, but no really redy for 10 people. Only 6 chairs in dinning area and 3 chairs outside the door. Will be a lovely if any gazebo in rain time 👌 But good brake and nice area. No more complains.

The house was everything it was described to be. The location was central to everything in town. The owners could not have been nicer.

Nice, but too cold in the house and under the shower.

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.

Wunderschönes und großzügiges altes Bauernhaus

Das hübsche Reetdachhaus liegt zurückgesetzt von einer ruhigen Nebenstraße am Ortsausgang von Kinvara. 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 ;)
