Summary: A fabulous house in a fabulous location perfect for family and or friends gathering. Plenty of space so you are not under each others feet, third visit and booked for next year.
Lizanne Oct 25, 2024 06:31:02 AM
Summary: The house is wonderful, well equipped for a large family get together with lots of space both indoors and out . Two dishwashers and an extremely well equipped kitchen makes catering for a large group much more practical. We were honoured that the owners trusted us with their collection of books which was so interesting, particularly the guest books from old. A added bonus was having a separate sitting room for the kids with lots of games and a table tennis and small pool table . The kids were on the beach at 7.15am exploring rock pools and playing in the sand . In fact they were outside most of the time which was great . We had super weather and were treated to an incredible light show from the Aurora on our final night . A few torches would be great , otherwise perfect .can we come back please .

Summary: The bedrooms are well planned for mix of quiet and not so quiet or young and not so young! Well equipped kitchen, great selection of books, comfy garden furniture. Pizza oven. Suited everyone with a huge age range! Your service is first class. We had a minor hitch which was dealt with straight away

Summary: Second time at the Guinness house and it was even better than the first. The house is the most perfect location and is spotless, everything you could need for a family get together. The most comfortable beds we have ever slept in. This place holds a really special place in all our hearts and we can't wait to come back again <3

Summary: Our 4th return visit and the best stay yet, mainly due to magnificent weather. The views of the bay with the 12 Bens beyond are breathtaking. Days spent crab finishing, SUP races, swimming and sandcastle competitions. Connemara golf course nearby for the golfers. Sundowners on the patio with a full moon overhead. Only 2 little cons: no clothes line to hang wet towels and the barbecue was much too small for 12 adults and too far from the house. Otherwise everything was perfect.

Summary: This is the perfect venue for a large family get together - lots of bedrooms and bathrooms, a huge kitchen, games room, cosy lounge with open fire, views to die for.

Summary: Myself and extended family stayed in the Guinness house for the third time and definitely not the last! It’s comfortable and warm with all the modern conveniences you could need. The large kitchen and dining table were perfect for everyone to gather after the days’ adventures in the area. Post-dinner table tennis and snooker competitions finished each night off and the comfortable bedrooms set us up to do it all over again the following day! The beach front location and fabulous garden with barbecue and sun deck area would be fabulous in the summer months and there’s so much to do in the area for all ages and abilities. Looking forward to our next visit already! Thank you Connemara lettings.

Summary: The house is amazing in a gorgeous location, however the check out time is too early especially with all the check out procedures that are required. It resulted in the check out morning being very stressful. The guests should not be required to do so many tasks on the check out morning. Also the drive way to the house is in very poor condition in spots, which could damage cars.
