Lovely countryside lodging
This is a lovely house in the Irish countryside. It has lovely decorations, was well furnished, and very comfortable. Dièdre was very responsive and helpful. Getting to the house takes a bit of doing, but the location is quiet and is great for taking walks.

Our Stay in Spiddal
Our stay at Deirdre’s home was a joy and she is an outstanding host! A great location—off the beaten path, but close to many activities. A beautiful, spotless, and well laid out house. And, she was as welcoming and thoughtful as one could ask for in a host. Everything was perfect.

Lovely & Comfortable Property
Stayed with friends while visiting a resident of Ireland. It was a vacation for everyone. The house was lovely, well decorated and comfortable. We also appreciated the nice touches like our welcoming cake, etc. The house was also well-stocked. The only comment I would make is that the house is a bit remote.

Incredible Home from Home
The house is absolutely fabulous. It’s spotless and the facilities are incredibly well thought out. Anything we needed was provided including baby monitors, cots, bouncer etc. The house was beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations. It’s easy to tell that it is a much loved home of the owner as they take such good care of it. Would definitely recommend and will be rebooking soon.

Family get together in a home from home
Beautiful house, great location, and a tremendously helpful and caring host.
From the very start we were welcomed with good information and flexible check in arrangements. Also some welcome supplies to start our stay off.
Throughout our stay our friendly and helpful host was on hand but not intrusive.
On leaving again the process was a simple as arriving the same helpful requirements that placed no extra burdens on busy preparations for the trip home after a great time together in a
Lovely place that provided for all our needs.
Our whole Family wish to thank Deirdre
For making us welcome with her friendly and helpful manner
Would definitely recommend any group like ours staying here and would not hesitate to book again if we wish to visit the West coast again

Simply the best
At first I was hesitant from being so far from Galway City center. I was completely wrong. Spiddel is a scenic town with activities for all: traditional music, shopping, great coffee, and perfect streets for long walks. The house itself, Teach Na Mara, seems to be brand new with every little detail you could possibly need: two kinds of coffee makers, brand new kitchen appliances, turf ready outside, a beautiful bbq area, and loads of space and charm. The owner is the kindest host I have ever encountered. She is creative and empathetic and readily available should you need her. We were here with four children under the age of ten and didn't hear them: this house is so well designed for peace. This house should be at the top of every person's wishlist to enjoy at least once.

A Lovely Home in a Lovely Part of the World
This was a 5 star experience. Diedre could not have been more responsive to our requests. The area was lovely for morning walks.
Some quality improvement suggestions:
1. The bathroom towels did not absorb water well. You might change to 100% cotton towels.
2. A nice touch would be to provide 100% very large cotton robes. I do this for my house guests in Italy, with 2 in each of my 6 bedrooms across 2 residences.
3. It would be a good idea to use 100% cotton comforter covers and to add a 100% cotton sheet to the contour sheet for each bed.
4. I added screens to each window and door across the 2 residences on my property in Italy. Having screens for each of your windows and doors would enhance the functionality and comfort of your property with the increasingly warm weather.
5. The rubber sealer for the clothes washer has black mold. You might periodically add clothes washer cleaning solution to that clothes washer.
6. You might add a vent to the outside for the dryer, which would enhance the efficiency of the dryer.

Thank you again !

Beyond our expectations!
If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! This house was just perfect for our stay in Galway. It was immaculate, comfortable and very spacious for our large family.
Deirdre was an amazing host and not only gave us some fantastic suggestions and advice of things to do in the area, her hospitality, friendliness and welcome basket was an unexpected bonus to our stay as well. We had everything we could possibly need to make our stay comfortable including a well stocked kitchen so we could stay and eat in when we wanted. There were also several outdoor seating areas that were very comfortable and inviting. After visiting the hustle and bustle of Dublin and Killarney it was nice being a little outside of Galway in the quiet countryside, yet close enough to enjoy both Galway and the Aran Islands. I highly recommend Deirdre's home!

Immaculate house and host
We had an absolutely wonderful time in host Deidre's beautiful home up the hill from Spiddal. The home is huge and incredibly well appointed, you won't feel like you are at a generic grey VRBO. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need and the bedrooms, laundry and bathrooms go above and beyond to provide a comfortable space. There are several adorable outside sitting spaces that the pictures don't do justice, you really are in an incredibly beautiful, quiet and private part of the country. Deidre answers questions super quickly, and if you're visiting from the US you might have a few about how and when to use various appliances/systems. There is a great instruction binder there too. You have to drive, but are central to be able to easily visit Galway, Kylemore Abbey, and other places on the West Coast. Highly recommend!

Lovely home and town
We had an amazing time staying at Deirdre’s home. The house and location were beautiful and the nearby town was lovely. It was perfect for our large family group.
Deirdre was able to accommodate an early check-in which was greatly appreciated by our group after a long and stressful travel day the day before. It was especially appreciated by our tiny ones who were exhausted. She also had so many things available that helped us feel at home…cots, a high chair, and toys for the little ones (4 mo, 2, and 3). The older kids loved (9 and 14) loved the outdoor space and the games that were there.
We loved visiting the town of Spiddal, the craft village, and the local pubs/restaurants. We took several day trips to nearby places including Galway and Kylemore Abbey. It was nice to have a quiet spot to return too.
Overall we had a lovely visit and Deirdre’s hospitality was a huge part of that.
I hope to be able to come back some day and visit again.

Cosy Christmas getaway
Absolutely beautiful property in a scenic part of the country. We spent Christmas here, a group of 10, and found the house spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated for the season. Kitchen was also very well equipped for us to cook Christmas dinner for 10! The host Deirdre lives right next door, and was entirely courteous, helpful, and not at all intrusive. Perfect host!
A wonderful property and a wonderful Christmas, highly recommended

A Great Opportunity
Try not to miss this opportunity. Our host Deirdre was outstanding and unleashed the perfect experience. Fresh flowers, treats, and a prepared turf fire welcomed us. Rooms were palatial and amenities second to none. This property is well within the boundaries of Galway and Connemara. Highly recommend cycling the Aran Islands. We are a group of 8 seniors with various tastes and this accommodation was the best of our 2 week stay in Ireland. Take the opportunity and book this Connemara gem.

Fabulous find
This was the perfect base for our extended family of 10 to explore Galway and Connemara! The house is gorgeous, and Dierdre is a delightful host. Prepare to enjoy your stay here! Rooms are big, beds are comfortable, and there are plenty of bathrooms to go around. The large living area is very comfortable, as is the big kitchen table where we all tended to congregate.

Home Away from Home in Ireland
This property is as pictured but is much more spacious in person. The owners were easy to work with and communication was excellent. Deirdre was always available to answer questions or offer suggestions. The home is appropriate for larger groups with plenty of privacy but also open areas for relaxing together. The beds and furnishings were lovely and comfortable and the house was clean and welcoming. The kitchen was conducive to cooking and eating in with plenty of space to dine together. We really enjoyed our stay and meeting the hosts and would recommend the property highly!

This was perhaps one of the most wonderful vacation rentals I and my fourteen friends had ever stayed at! The location was perfect for us as we wanted to be away from the city. The house I am assuming is either new or recently renovated because everything is modern, up to date, and in perfect working condition. The owner,Deirdre, came to meet us despite the fact that it was after 10pm when we arrived. Deirdre made us feel so welcome and was totally at our disposal should we have issues. She had let us champagne, snacks and food in the fridge!! Across the street we could get fresh eggs for breakfast. All in all, it was perfect. A huge probably we will be going back. Thank you Deirdre for caring about your visitors!

Great stay over Christmas
We stayed for a week over the Christmas and the house was very comfortable. Deirdre had the house beautifully decorated which meant it felt like a home away from home. It is a great size house with 6 very spacious bedrooms. The kitchen and living area worked very well particularly for children playing around. We would highly recommend a stay at Deirdre’s house. It will not disappoint.
