Red Squirrel Lodge

Cool, secluded location yet close to cool stuff

They give you an instructional video that doesn’t actually tell you things about the property you need to know. The water system is complicated, the clothes dryer was more of a dehumidifier, the couch was coming apart, the TV was really old, the temperature in the cabin was hard to manage.

Location is superb, safe parking for motorcycles, which was a priority, quiet and out of the way. The property was easy to find and get access to. Best electric power shower ever. A fabulous pub called O'Donaghues and restaurant called Raftery's Rest down the road in Kilcolgan just 5 mins away, these were saviours. Great Guinness in the pub, and stunning food and atmosphere in Raftery's.

The furniture in the lounge is tired, two of the four chairs around kitchen table were falling apart and unsafe to sit on, leather sofa is a bit tatty and padding worn out. The smaller bunk room, was very warm during the night, but we couldnt have the window open as some cats kept jumping up on the window sill and meowing, we closed the window and for at least 30 mins one cat kept clawing at the window to get in and at 1am this should have been much needed sleeping time, but instead we wre kept awake by the cats and heat, one of us went to sleep on the sofa and even then could hear cats making a noise.

Pas très loin de Galway en voiture, bonne literie

Ce n’était pas propre. Odeurs de pieds

Domek jest jest bardzo przestronny, swobodnie zmieści się duża rodzina albo grupa przyjaciół. Bardzo dobre ogrzewanie. Dogodna lokalizacja do zwiedzania środkowej części zachodniej Irlandii.

Meble i wnętrza zdecydowanie wymagają odświeżenia. Znajdująca się obok zniszczona przyczepa zdecydowanie psuje estetykę miejsca.

L’environnement est calme. L’emplacement près de Cliften.

Le ménage n’est pas fait correctement. C’est sale. On a du laver la vaisselle qui était sale. Il y a un problème au niveau du circuit d’eau. C’est extrêmement bruyant. Une chasse d eau =15 min de bruit. Il n’y a pas de meuble dans la salle de bains pour poser ses affaires. Le rideau de douche est sale. La machine à laver aussi. La TV n’est pas connectée. Il manque des tables de chevet.

L'emplacement est assez calme

Logement "bricolé". Très peu d'eau chaude, mobilier en mauvais état, wi fi mauvais, tv fonctionne mal.

The location was lovely. It was a cute property. We were only there one night.

It would have been good to have a bit more stuff in the kitchen. We decided to cook a breakfast but no sharp knives. Not a biggie and we managed without. I also have a property that we air bnb and it is hard to think of everything people may need.

Wood paneling gave it a nice cozy cabin feel, but it was still spacious. Check in was very easy.

Bathroom needed a lot of improvement. Duct tape in the shower, shower curtain was a fabric window curtain that stayed wet. Kitchen items need updating ( dull knives, etc)

Even if it's just a very short distance to the M18, the surroundings were quiet. The host was absolutely gorgeous, and we loved the birds, which came regularly. The host reacted to messages in a short time and also provided some great opportunities to eat or shop.

The huts are close together, so if you're unlucky with your lodge-neighbours, it can be a noisy experience. Also, some parts of the lodge need a bit of refurbishment or even replacement. But overall, everything was working.

Not applicable

The bathroom is probably due for a bit of an upgrade

Endroit très calme et très rustique

Le ménage était un peu juste ainsi que la vaisselle Lili était très confortable mais le reste était vraiment très limite

self catering

The kitchen and bathroom need to be updated.

Every thing fabulous place to stay child friendly as well will stay again in the near future

Clean and so lovely outside town

Logement spacieux et cosy. Bonne literie Au calme, nous entendions les oiseaux le matin ... Parkins juste devant le lodge. Arrivée autonome - explications claires, hote disponible.

Pas specialement de points négatifs ... Juste les WC dans la SbB (un peu plus long pour se préparer le matin a plusieurs).

Chalet à 3 chambres, lits confortables, bien chauffé, eau chaude abondante, chalet accueillant et bien situé. Parking à proximité. Environnement calme.

Manque de vaisselle et de matériel pour faire la cuisine, pas de cafetière.

Very peaceful and quiet. Would have stayed longer.

Bonita y muy acogedora cabaña en una zona rural muy tranquila. Ideal para la familia y pasar un/unos días muy relajantes. Sin duda muy recomendable y la pena no haber pasado más de una noche en ella.

Nada importante. Pero sería interesante poder disponer de utensilios de cocina como tijeras, cuchillos más afilados (que corten mejor).

Ensemble très satisfaisant. Il faudrait juste prévoir une rénovation de la salle de bain.

Very comfortable beds and bedding. The place was spotlessly clean. Shower was good. Warm and comfortable on a stormy night in Galway.WiFi is good.

So more directions on the road would be helpful as the satmav couldn't connect in parts. We came from loughrea along a country road I had to stop a car an ask for further directions. There is directions attached when booking but couldn't check while driving or when pull over no coverage

The place was really great and calm. Access was very easy with the GPS. Everything was super clean.

Brilliant location, peaceful and quiet. Views were lovely. Cabin was cosy and warm. Everything that we needed was there. It was spacious and the kids had a brilliant time. Alan was a great host and very accommodating.

Location , size . Just awesome

I wish we stayed longer

Lovely lodge, cosy and perfect for our stay. Thanks very much

We loved the location it was very quiet and peaceful Very clean excellent stay

Nothing was wrong everything was perfect

Lovely area, lovely place, nice sweet home, back garden lovely place

Everything

The Tv wasn’t working very well but apart from that everything was amazing

The environment is very comfortable. Interior is very warm and relax.

The cabin was nice and cosy

I got no reply when I sent an email. No code was given for the lock box

It was clean, lovely & warm, beds were very comfortable

It was a bit of a distance

Die Lodge steht etwas versteckt im Wald. Sehr ruhig. Das Ambiente hat uns gut gefallen. Die Ausstattung ist rustikal. In der kleinen Küche ist alles da was man für einen kurzen Aufenthalt braucht. Die Betten waren bequem. Parken direkt vor der Haustüre. Auf der kleinen Veranda steht eine Tischgruppe. Kommunikation mit Vermieter war gut. Vor der Anreise wurde ein Video geschickt mit Infos zur Lodge.

Le matériel de cuisine

Great, quiet place for a short break. The host was very friendly and I had a great chat with him.

Great location half hour away from Galway

What a unique, gorgeous little haven in the countryside outside Galway - very relaxing overnight. Perfect place to unwind after a day of sightseeing and travelling. Very comfortable beds, very comfortable livingroom area, excellent shower, plenty of parking space and a beautiful serene atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit.

Lovely and relaxing stay as we travelled to Galway for the impromptu wedding , we have no issues with the accommodation plus it’s great value as well. Nice and clean.

Le calme

Ce logement est très décevant : équipement de cuisine très incomplet (3 fourchettes et 3 verres seulement, pas de casseroles adaptées, tout est dépareillé, pas de linges de cuisine, pas de tire-bouchon etc), la salle de bain est vaste mais sans aucun endroit où placer ses affaires, l'ensemble a dû être joli mais s'est dégradé et mériterait un sérieux rafraîchissement, on sent que ces lieux sont un peu à l'abandon. C'est surtout le coût prohibitif qui nous met en colère, on se sent vraiment arnaqués.

Very nice house in the nature.

Very spacious, clean,everything you need for a comfortable stay.

The beds were not comfortable and the water system is tricky.

Homely

Nothing

Location was good. Very clean cabin. Check-in and checkout was very fast, before we came, the owner send the instructions and it was all smooth. They even recommend the best restaurants nearby. We will definitely come back next time.

Nothing

Location was fine as it was near my brother's house and we were attending a Communion on the Saturday. The house was clean and tidy and warm and the shower was really good. It was a quirky cottage and its quite big for the size. Adequate room for four people. The kitchen was equipped for what we needed for our stay. There are security cameras also, which is good as its quite rural. Very quiet area. Would need your own transport but its close to village by car.

The bed in the main bedroom was very uncomfortable. We could feel the springs in the mattress. The mattress in the bunk bed wasn't comfortable either. I would recommend changing them and keeping in mind, that customers want a comfortable night's sleep when holidaying. Its of no use going on a break, to find that you cant sleep comfortably at night, so getting a mattress that you would sleep on yourself is a guide. We were glad we were only staying two nights to be honest. One or two of the white towels had black marks on them which shouldn't be case at all. The wardrobe in the main bedroom had no hangers either to hang any of our clothes which was unusual and because we were attending a communion the following day, we really could have done with them. Finally, my son who is very inquisitive, lifted the rug under the kitchen table to find a hole in the floorboards with little ants crawling. Thankfully we didn't see any elsewhere in the kitchen, but that should also be addressed immediately. I would recommend addressing these issues as the cost to stay was not cheap and I felt it was not value for money. So for charging €260 per night self catering, these issues really need to improve in the lodge.

Gorgeous tranquil location. Lodge had everything you would need.

This house is very cute and cozy, we liked the spacious living room for spending time together. It is clean everywhere, towels and bed linen are available. We also liked that the kitchen has coffee, tea, sugar, cereals and even spices. The bathroom has a full set of toiletries.

The bathroom door does not close and the blinds on the window are broken. the oven is also very dirty and not working.

Gorgeous place to stay

I liked all

Comfortable,warm,cosy and peaceful

Lovely place, warm and cosy with full room or kitchen equipment I couldn't find anything to complain about!

In a remote quiet area , Cabin was spotless, comfortable, and relaxing

Everything 🙂👌

Fully equipped spacious house.

Quite expensive. A bit of a challenge to find the entrance off the main road. Not an inspiring environment. Noisy bathroom.

Location was fabulous, in the middle of nowhere, ideal.

There was no provision for using the oven eg oven gloves! Would have been useful.

Location. Parking for motorbikes. Facilities. Price.

The host was very kind during our arrival

One non separated toilet for 3 rooms One only bathroom

Clean, spacious and cosy lodge.

I think the lodge would deserve a bit of update, especially new matresses. There were just enough dishes for all of us, but if somebody intends to cook there a bigger meal for 7 people it might be a struggle with broken drawers and lack of some dishes. There were missing some hooks/coat hangers. Alan sent us an e-mail that somebody is going to meet us when we arrive at certain time, but we havent met anybody for the lenght of our stay, no major problem as the key was left in the lock box next to door

For a cabin in a tucked away location, it was well-equipped. The shower head strength was strong

What you would expected in a tucked away location - water needed time to refill after two person having a shower, wifi was unstable and slow. Also, no dishwasher is major downside

clean，warm，convinient.

Very easy

Loved the quiet location & the warm feeling of the cabin

There wasn’t a dishwasher

VERY clean. Demanding. Fully equipped. wonderful wooden house. Friendly owner. We had a lot of fun. We're back this year.

Everything was excellent.

The location was beautiful , the spacious inside , it was cosy and warm which was surprising but it was beautiful

It sounds so shallow because the property is fantastic … the outdoor furniture was uncomfortable

It was quiet

Where did I start, the place was so dated, needs painting, needs new beds, new kitchen, new furniture, a TV that works Its funny when you look outside, says its a conservation area, lol I think it just needed clearing and the grass cutting,

Wooden house in the middle of nowhere! A not bad wooden house far from the road in the middle of nowhere. There is another house nearby - a smaller one, but there was no one there with us. This house is suitable for those looking for privacy. The inside is quite spacious and basically has everything you need.

The TV worked terribly. It was connected to an antenna that did not pick up the signal well. I haven’t seen such antennas for 30 years. As a result, we spent the entire evening fiddling with the antenna and were unable to see anything. The water heating and heating systems are interconnected. If you turn off the heating, the water heating also turns off. In general, we felt a little creepy and uncomfortable staying in this house. But this is our personal feeling. Ultimately, this house is not worth the money they are asking for it!

Located outside of Galway so you feel removed from some of the hubbub but still conveniently located for adventuring, shopping, etc. Very cozy inside.

Host was very friendly and stay was great ! Was lovely and quiet with parking just outside the cabin , very homely.

Check in was quick and easy

Excellent place for family and friends, very cozy and relaxing. I would recommend this place.

Very comfortable and warm.

The water ran out after one person had a shower

Perfect cabin style holiday for the family!

It was so quaint and Alan was so sweet. Loved the views and location

The bathroom could really use an update the beds where uncomfortable and the sofa and chairs were broken It also only got about 5 channels on TV and no options because it was an older TV.

Very clean, everything provided and very polite and helpful staff
