Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Maire hosted me, my wife, 2 year old son, 80 year old parents and my brother and his wife and 2 kids (10 and 14). This was for my mom’s 80th birthday and it couldn’t have been a more amazing experience. Easy walk to the town of Galway and Salt Hill. Incredibly clean, filled with so much history and charm. We had fires every night, played in the back yard and cooked dinner. We are so grateful for Maire’s hospitality and communication. Every details wasCovered. Soft fresh towels and comfortable beds. I would recommend this to any group of 10 to have a home that has it all. Don’t miss out on staying at such a historic home. Truly once in a lifetime.
Stayed 5 nights in May 2026
