Spiddal:

The small seaside village of Spiddal, on the Irish Coast, overlooks Galway Bay and the Aran Islands and is a very popular destination for visitors. There are numerous restaurants and pubs, two beaches and a lovely coastal golf course it has something to suit all tastes. Located close to Shannagarraun Wood, a Special Area of Conservation, Spiddal provides lovely places to walk and explore. Try sea fishing off the pier, take a walk down Tra na mBan Blue Flag sandy beach or indulge in a round of golf at Rosshill Golf Course. Only 12 miles to the east lies Galway City, where you can discover some of Ireland’s long and varied history; visit Lynch’s Castle, or trace the origin of the famous Claddagh Ring, which originated in a village near the shore of Galway Bay.

Amazing getaway
My boyfriend and I stayed at this property for a week. It was exactly as advertised, if not better. I found it to be bigger and more spacious than it appeared in the pictures. We had several people over for dinner one evening and it was a great space to host as the dining room and kitchen are open plan, with a door off the kitchen directly into the living room. The host was available by phone if needed, but otherwise left us completely to our own devices. I honestly can't fault it. We had a great stay there and I would recommend to anyone planning a trip to the area :-)

Everything was just about prefect with this house! The pictures don’t do it justice. Great layout. The kitchen was well equipped for all your cooking needs. The bedrooms are down the other side of the house - perfect set up for those that need to sleep while others are in the kitchen and living room. Towels were scratchy not soft. Back bedroom was cold. Other than that house was a gem. Definitely will book again.

Beautiful property, wonderful stay
We stayed with two other couples and everyone loved the property and area. The house was clean and every bed was comfortable! We loved walking into town and bringing back cheese and wine to enjoy on the outside patio. Bus to Galway was very convenient too. 5 star stay!!

Would Thoroughly Recommend.
Perfect location for touring around the Connemara National Park and the Aran islands. Property is situated in the outskirts of Spiddal in a quiet location with a view over to Galway Bay. Upon arrival everything was very clean and tidy and Siobhan made us feel very welcome. Would be ideal for family and couples and we would thoroughly recommend this property to anyone wanting a perfect stay in the locality.

Great family home and quiet location
The house was perfect for our family with adult children. We were all able to have our own spaces but also great gathering places to play a card game and have a family dinner. The area was quiet but a perfect in-between for sightseeing. Thanks to Siobhan for checking in with us and making it easy to connect.

Beautiful cottage, plenty big enough, beautiful sunrises over the bay, beautiful scenery
This cottage has a homey feeling. The rooms are large, clean and inviting. The fireplace was a great asset especially with the changing weather. The property is private. quiet, and truly peaceful. The landscaping is beautiful even in late February/early March. The landlord was absolutely wonderful and very helpful. If considering a visit to Spiddal, I would absolutely recommend this home. We throughly enjoyed our stay here! It’s conveniently located but not right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city. When we return to Ireland, this will absolutely be on our list of places to stay.

toller Weitblick
Das Haus lädt ein zum Entspannen, bietet tollsten Komfort, geschmackvoll und luxeriös eingerichtet, mit viel Platz. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig, etwas abgelegen, mit einem fantastischen Weitblick auf die Landschaft und das Meer. Der Empfang war sehr herzlich und es gab sogar frisches Brot, Milch, Kaffee, Marmelade und vieles mehr zur Begrüßung. Wir haben uns außerordentlich wohl gefühlt. Die 4 Ladies

Tolles Haus mit kleinen Abstrichen (scheinbar normal in Irland)
Das Haus hat eine tolle Lage mit Blick auf das Meer (ca. 500m Luftlinie) und die umgebende Hügellandschaft. Es hat große Räume, ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sehr gut ausgestattet. Lediglich die Fugen in den Duschen der 3 Bädern sollten erneuert werden und der auf der Homepage erwähnte Grill war leider einem Sturm zum Opfer gefallen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und tolle Infos von der netten Vermieterin erhalten.

ruhig gelegenes Ferienhaus, mit Blick auf‘s Meer
Großes Haus, bietet viel Platz. Es gibt draußen eine kleine Terasse, auf der man bei schönem Wetter sitzen und den Blick in die Ferne genießen kann. Einen Grill gab es während unseres Aufenthalts nicht. In der Küche waren die meisten Sachen vorhanden, sodass wir uns ausreichend verpflegen konnten. Die Matratzen in den Betten könnten besser sein, es war zu spüren, dass sie bereits etwas durchgelegen sind. Stellenweise hätten wir uns etwas mehr Sauberkeit im gesamten Haus bei Ankunft gewünscht. Für WLAN, Waschmaschine, Trockner, Strom, Wasser etc. entstehen keine Extrakosten, der WLAN Empfang im Haus ist nicht überall ausreichend vorhanden. Bei Ankunft wurden wir nett empfangen und bekamen einige Ausflugstipps an die Hand. Eine Flasche Wein und Prallinen standen ebenfalls bereit. Den Kindern haben vor allem die Tiere (Pferde und Esel) gefallen, die unweit des Hauses auf den Wiesen standen. Der Ort An Spideal hat nicht viel zu bieten, es gibt aber einen schönen kleinen, etwas versteckten Strand, mit tollem Sand und flachem Wasser. Guter Ausgangspunkt für einen Stadtgang durch Galway, Fahrten nach Connemara und eine Schifffahrt zu den Aaren Islands.

Sommerurlaub - 1 Woche in Spiddal
Gerade zurück von unserem traumhaften Irland-Urlaub. Das schöne Haus ist sehr komfortabel, sauber und gut ausgestattet: 3 Schlafzimmern inkl. Badezimmern mit Dusche o. Badewanne, Terrasse mit Grill und einer grossen Küche, einer Stube, einem schönem Essplatz (den haben wir sehr genossen, da sich dieser durch die grossen Fenstern aufwärmte und so auch beim schlechterem Wetter ein angenehmes Klima dort herrschte). Vieles war vorhanden Backofen, Tiefkühlschrank, Toaster, Geschirrspüler, TV (ausschliesslich englischsprachige Sender), Waschmaschine, Trockner. Das Haus liegt etwas Abseits von der Straße und es ist deshalb sehr ruhig. Trotzdem sind es nur ca. 10 Min. (Autofahrt) in das nächste Dorf Spiddal mit 3 Pubs, und 1 Laden Das Haus ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt um Connemara zu erkunden. Auch Galway, Aran Island, Clifden, Kylemore Abbey und der Nationalpark sind gut von Spiddal erreichbar. Rundherum haben wir uns sehr wohlgefühlt und einen erholsamen Urlaub gehabt. Aber man braucht wirklich ein Auto, damit man die Insel etwas erkunden kann. Wir würden in diesem Ferienhaus jederzeit wieder unsere Ferien verbringen.
