Coach House was charming and in a beautiful setting. Hosts were friendly. Gate with lions could be used as a landmark to identify the entrance to the lane where it is located. Kitchen was fully stocked. Note: picture on website shows building covered with Ivy, which has since been removed.

2 night stay while traveling across the country

Finola and John were personable and flexible; completely devoted to making sure we were taken care of and comfortable. Beautiful estate and rooms, easy to base out of for day trips across the Wild Atlantic West Coast. We’d love to visit again.

Amazing!

We had a fantastic time at the Coachhouse. Communication, check in, we’re all top notch. The Coachhouse was so charming. Such a peaceful setting and a place to truly unwind yet close enough to Galway, Ashford Castle, the Cliffs etc. We had a great time exploring and having downtime. The drive into the property is something from a fairytale! We have stayed at a lot of vacation rentals and this is one of our top stays ever! Highly suggest!!

Lovely country estate!

Finola and John were great hosts....everything was perfect! Even when the hot water went out unexpectedly, they were quick to fix the issue and left us flowers and a note when it was fixed! Great country location but still close driving distance to everything we wanted to see and visit while we were there. Grocery store and restaurants close by in town too. Thank you for a beautiful place to enjoy our family time! Your dog and horses were the final touches on a perfect stay!

Lovely experience near Galway

Our stay in the renovated coach house of a large Georgian estate was entirely happy. The coach house faces a large, car-free courtyard with attractive plantings. From our living/sitting room the view from the window was a grassy lawn and an old stone wall--we could imagine ourselves lords of the manor. The interior is comfortable with a modern kitchen. The primary bedroom suite is elegant and spacious. We'd come back!

Not given room we booked

We weren't able to stay together. We were 4 people, husband and wife and son and friend so we needed 2 rooms one with 2 beds or a 3 room unit. We had booked the coach house and we were put in another room. And one of our party was put in a separate room. Furniture was uncomfortable, bed needed more pillows, hot water wasn't working for shower, and internet was intermittent at best.

Stay in historic Ireland

The property is part of an historic Irish estate. All of the comforts are there but it is old building. Staying there provided us work that history and charm of Ireland. Our host Finola was very accommodating and helpful. This is a property that we recommend.

Gateway to the West in home away from home

The house was lovely, situated in a quiet courtyard with the kitchen being a highlight of the premises. The delph and utensils supllied were of high quality and a big help when travelling with a hungry family. If you like to holiday in an unspoilt area where archaeology and history abound this is the place for you. On the border between Galway and Mayo you can avail of the best both counties have to offer. Galway city and Salthill are easily accessible. As is Cong if you like cycling and forest trails. Finola made us so welcome and was always available if needed with recomendations and was very kind to our kids. Róisín and Tom.

Just Fine

It suited our needs just fine for a short three night stay. The one bathroom shower didn’t work but there were two others that did so I didn’t even contact the property manager. The same bedrooms heat didn’t work but the comforters were so heavy that we managed to be comfortable enough and the heat coming from the bathroom took the edge off.

Real feel of Ireland.

This was a beautiful location except the driveway into the place was pretty long and narrow. But it was such a pretty place. The only complaint I had was the bathrooms were all upstairs so you had to climb 14 steps to get there. By the picture it looks like it is a separate house but it is attached to 2 or more other cottages. It was still very nice and had the cutest dog chained to his dog house. Very friendly. If you don't like deep into the country side it is not for you. But if you like a real feel of Ireland it is a wonderful experience. I would go again.

An average stay

On our arrival at the Coach House, the keys were in the door and no sign of the managers. We entered to find there were no towels for our party of 6. We rang the manager who said she would be back later that night and she would give them to us then. When she arrived we asked about hot water and were told it was on. However it was not and there was no hot water till the following day. This was not a great start to our stay. She ignored us till our departure waving as she left the property.
