    “- The vacuum cleaner's suction hose was detached from the body of the appliance and the connector was in several pieces.”

    We managed to put the whole thing back together. This explains the 3/4 on cleanliness because the carpet had obviously not been able to be vacuumed properly. But nothing dramatic either. - For your information we found a chair peeled off and fragile so we left it aside - We didn't know what to do with the garbage bags upon departure. A better explanation for those who don't speak the language would be a plus. It didn't spoil our stay. Pleasant environment and friendly locals. Long live ...

The property

Located in the sleepy harbour village of Roundstone, County Galway is this charming terraced cottage.

Furnished to a traditional style, this Roundstone cottage features upside down accommodation with two of the three bedrooms on the ground floor and a cosy first floor sitting room complete with beautiful views across the sea.

Relax in comfort with the atmospheric open fire before taking the short stroll in to the village to enjoy the warm welcome at one of the many taverns.

Roundstone is a peaceful village located on the wild Galway coastline and there are many unspoilt beaches where you can enjoy a late evening ramble with just the sound of the sea for company.

Further up the coast is the bustling market town of Clifden which is full of boutique shops and quality restaurants.

The area has many excellent golf courses and fishermen can take their pick from a plethora of superb spots.

The Connemara National Park sits on the doorstep of this Roundstone cottage with breathtaking views at every turn such as those afforded by the Twelve Pins mountain range.

Further afield, visit the Aran Islands and Galway City to round off a memorable Irish break in a truly special location.

About the location

ROUNDSTONE, COUNTY GALWAY

Clifden 14.5 miles; Connemara National Park 25 miles; Galway 48 miles.

Roundstone, in the Connemara region of County Galway, lies on the western arm of Bertraghboy Bay. The entrance to Roundstone harbour is marked by a large stone, like an upturned bath tub, which is known as seals rock (Chloch na Ron) as seals like to clamber up onto it and bask in the sunshine. The bay itself is also often referred to as Roundstone Haven. Roundstone offers pubs, restaurants, cafés, shops and a children’s playground, plus there is a traditional Irish night in the summer and a number of festivals which take place throughout the year. Roundstone is full of historical and geographical points of interest, including the bell tower of the Franciscan Monastery, now standing in the Michael Killeen Park, and the remains of a monument to St Brendan on Inishnee, a small island in Roundstone Bay. A five-minute drive away are Gurteen and Dog's Bay beaches, plus attractions in the area include horse riding, deep sea fishing, hill walking and cycling. Just eight miles from Roundstone is the Connemara Golf Club and further afield there is great scenery to enjoy either on foot, bicycle or in the car. The lively town of Clifden has lots of interesting things to see, while the Connemara National Park is just a little further away and the city of Galway can be reached in an hour’s drive.
