The house was spacious, with more than enough individual bedrooms rooms for our 4 families. The kitchen was well- equipped with a spacious dining and living room. Everything was clean, and decorated nicely, with each bedroom having its own theme. The owners were not hovering at all, but ion site and very accommodating to our needs, answering our questions, giving recommendations, etc. When I asked about a recommendation for a restaurant on arriving after a very hectic travel day, she helped with making the reservation for us. She even offered an extra day at the end of our trip, after we were delayed a day due to airline cancellations. We thoroughly enjoyed the town with all of the amazing restaurants, shops, grocery store, and children’s playground all within a comfortable walking distance to the Quay house. We loved the Connemara region including beaches, castles, the national park, and the beautiful Countryside and Atlantic coast!
