- "Our stay went very well. Ann was great. She was prompt, helpful, gave us resources. We had 5 adults all stay together comfortably. Highly recommend. We will be back!" - "We had a wonderful experience. This was a great place for my husband and I to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary (plus my 70th birthday and his 75th) with the hot tub, golf, and country walks. Then our younger son’s family joined us for the next week and we realized it was a great location for kids activities in Barna, Salthill, Moycullen, Galway, etc! Ann and Carlos were very responsive to any questions we had - once we learned the difference between a hob and a stove as well as Carlos’s trick to unplug and replug electronics to fix glitches, we were good. I would highly recommend this place and am thinking we may need to make it an annual visit! All the best - Patti☘️"
