Résumé avec l'avis
La maison est très bien située au centre du Connemara. Il y a déjà une jolie petite balade sur la coline d'en face. Bien que la route principale passe en bordure, le bruit ne gêne pas. Le terrain apparait trop bitumé, la maison sans grand caractère, mais l'intérieur est vraiment agréable, très lumineux (dormez avec un masque car jamais de volet dans le pays). Seuls défauts : odeur de fuel près de l'évier de la cuisine; système d'eau à l'étage tonitruant (drôle, mais à couper la nuit !), et surtout capricieux (s'arrête parfois, en plein shampoing...); un ou deux matelas trop minces pour certains.
