Sehr freundliche Gastgeber. Unterkunft ist etwas abgelegen, für unsere Ausflüge nach Galway, Athlon und Dublin ideal. Besonderes schön fanden wir das Kloster Clonmagnoise. Vielen Dank an John und Marian die uns sehr freundlich empfangen haben.

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt! Der Empfang durch Marian und John war sehr herzlich. In der Unterkunft haben wir nichts vermisst, es war alles vorhanden was man benötigt und Marian hat uns ein paar Kleinigkeiten zur Begrüßung bereitgestellt. Die Unterkunft liegt super, um von dort aus ganz Irland zu erkunden. Wir sind viel mit dem Auto gefahren, aber es war jeden Tag wie nach Hause zu kommen, wenn wir wieder in der Unterkunft waren. Vielen Dank Marian und John für eure Gastfreundschaft!
