Summary: We planned for over a year for our family trip to Ireland, 9 of us (4 grandchildren) a special vacation, and we reserved the house for 5 nights. Upon arrival, the house exterior presents poorly; appears poorly maintained from the outside, lowering expectations for the inside. However, the entire grounds are impressively maintained and landscaped, the grandchildren enjoyed playing on the private well-protected grounds. Mary the housekeeper works hard to keep the house clean. She is a real asset to the house and the owner. The location is a short walk to the town for restaurants & pubs. It is well located for touring parts of western Ireland, especially Galway and Connemara. The bus stop is convenient to the house and an easy ride to Galway City. The house smells musty and moldy, especially in the living and dining rooms. We had issues with 2 of the 3 toilets. The house needs maintenance and reinvestment. Our stay did not meet our expectations and could have been better. Require coins to pay for the electricity. Very frustrating! One of the three bathrooms functions well. One had flushing issues, and one had a seat that would not stay up for men. The kitchen is well equipped; however, the coffee maker doesn’t work (kept overflowing). Overall, if you are handy and can adjust expectations, the house works OK for a large family with plenty of beds and bedrooms. However, we would not recommend it to anyone who has allergies or breathing issues.

Summary: This georgian house is impressive but in great need of some TLC. Mary the house keeper/property manager does a great job of keeping it clean and tidy but there are serious things that need addressing in order to maintain the house: the house has damp - stained peeling wallpaper shows this, as do the mushrooms growing out the beam by the front door. I'd urge the owner to get this under control before it takes hold of the property. A few features in the description are untrue: there is no games room - a disppointment for the 5 kids in our party; the TV does not work - it needs to be tuned; the playpark is not in the ground of the house but in the village. All of this aside, we had an amazing stay. The area is stunning, the people friendly and weather was kind to us. Would we stay at wellpark again? Probably not, but we'll certainly be back to the area.

Summary: Fabulous property. There were 10 of us, three generations and all had a ball. Big extended family party catered by Patrick at Connemara caterers, was a big success. A lovely ginger cat was a frequent visitor during our stay adding a lovely extra dimension. Big thank you to Mary’s for going the extra mile to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves, especially the footballers! Visited Clifden, Kylemore Abbey, some beautiful beaches, pubs and restaurants. Beautiful memories for everyone who was part of this celebration. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Plenty of room in the house! It was an easy walk into town which we really took advantage of to catch bus to Galway or for dinner or AM coffees. Great food and pub life here. Highly recommend (would have loved to stay longer) Many thanks for the hospitality!

Summary: The home was large and accomodating and the grounds are beautiful. We had a little hiccup checking in and the host could not have been nicer in trying to rectify the situation. It's a very quick walk to town with plenty of restaurants, pubs, grocery etc. All in all a lovely vacation.
