All lovely
All pefect
Moderne Einrichtung, erstaunlich was man aus einer Ruine machen kann
Sauberkeit, Schlafsofa, Bedienung der Dusche ist ungewöhnlich, Abluft ist Sprachrohr.
I booked this very last minute and it was such a good idea! The host responded straight away with arrival details. The property is perfectly clean and perfectly situated for the village. There is a local shop opposite which stays open to 8pm and has a great food selection. It was quiet with a great outside space.
There was nothing not to like! Added unexpected extras was such a warm and friendly village, great pub across the road and a really nice takeaway in the centre of the village and a well stocked shop. There was a lovely walk along the canal with horses in a nearby field and lots of wildlife enjoying the countryside.
L'appartement est situé au pied de la greenway, on a de la place pour se garer, il est moderne et la décoration est soignée. On communique facilement avec l'hôte qui est très réactif. L'accès est facilité avec une arrivée en autonomie. Nous avons apprécié aussi la connexion facile au wifi par QR code. Le lit était confortable et la douche très bien aussi.
Nouz étions 3. Le canapé lit est très beau mais pas confortable pour le dos. Ce sont des détails mais il manque un peu d'ustensiles pour cuisiner comme un égouttoir pour les pâtes. et il n'y a pas de micro-ondes, c'est dommage.
It was a self catering apartment.For myself and my sister it was a perfect bolthole in terms of location and comfort.Our reason for choosing to stay there was that we had suffered an unexpected family bereavement nearby.
Nothing at all.
Alles is nieuw! Groot bed! Keuken met alle faciliteiten. Erg mooi allemaal. Met veel liefde is dit pand opgeknapt om er 3 appartmenten van te maken. Complimentaire toffels lagen op het ruime bed.
Koelkast was niet echt schoon. Ondanks dat het zomer is en we een maand van te voren hadden gevraagd om dunne dekens, waren er alleen hele warme winterdekens en alleen losse lakens als alternatief, ook niet voor de bedbank. Tip: nu het klimaat steeds warmer wordt, ook dunne dekens leveren, zeker in de zomer. Een ventilator/fan zou ook fijn zijn. De douche kan alleen aan met de kraan van de wastafel aan, althans als je een wat minder warme douche wilt, is hier iets aan te doen? Zonder uitleg er bij hebben we uiteindelijk dekens/kussens voor de bedbank gevonden in de kast waar ook de bezem en strijkplank stonden. Tip: leg iets meer uit over de bedbank en leg de dekens/kussens klaar. Bedbank was verder prima.
Location and the space
Nothing
We enjoyed our stay, despite our criticisms. Well appointed living room and kitchen, but no microwave. Comfortable bed. Water pressure was good. Paul, our host, came immediately we notified him of an alarm, and sorted it.
Green security light in the bedroom disturbed our sleep. It's the only one of our 12 accommodations in Ireland to have this. The water pump was noisy, whichever apartment turned on hot water. We could hear conversations from other units through the vent system. Fortunately they didn't disturb our sleep. The sensor light in the stairwell takes too long to come on: It needs to be put down much lower.
Location was good. Nicely decorated appartment and everything was thought if by the host. Cant fault it at all.
Pump noise in attic after people in other appartment (or ourselves) used shower or flushed toilet. Just annoying
Location. Brand new. Compact. Very helpful owner.
Nothing.
The bed was extremely comfortable. The television with Netflix, Prime and YouTube was an added bonus. The bathroom facilities were also very nice. The owners left some toiletries for us which was a nice touch. The property was very spacious and we loved our stay. We enjoyed the kitchen facilities but unfortunately didnt get to use it as we arrived late at the property of our own accords. The owners were very friendly and helpful.
The only downside was that the walls were not very thick and we could here other tenants speaking in their own apartments but this was not a massive problem for us
Beautiful apartment by the Grand Canal, very comfortable and spacious. So many gorgeous little touches! Will definitely stay again.
Immaculate. Warm welcome.
Convenient and cost effective
Nothing
Nice neat, very clean modern apartment
The shower didn't work in our room at all. The host gave us access to another apartment to use the shower, it had next to no water pressure. Could hardly get wet!
This was a beautiful home from home with all you could need. Spotlessly clean and pleasantly decorated and furnished. A pretty idyllic spot near the canal and small town. I booked for elderly parents so my only negative would the sensor light on stairway, they were nearly to top of stairs before it came on but it wasn't a huge problem. Thank you Paul and Caroline. Would highly recommend this facility and hope to get back soon.
Excellent location right beside the canal great access for walks and it was in the town 2 min from the shops and bars
There was nothing to dislike a perfect little unit
Apartamento excelente com tudo o que é necessário. Confortável e limpo localizado numa zona sossegada em uma pequena vila mesmo do lado do gran canal e com passadiço para caminhadas. Encontrei o paul no check in muito simpático e prestável. Um sitio que voltaria com toda a certeza.
Very comfy cosy. Parking right at the door facilities amazing
Lovely Hosts Beautiful clean appartment Nice location
Very nice place. Loved the attention to detail.
Clean ,well equipped and so easy to book and stay. Great central location with shop and bars within walking distance. Great for walking and running along the wonderful canal. Tullamore only 15 Minutes away which is well worth a visit
Nothing
The location is perfect, the pubs shop 1min walk. Absolutely spotless very comfy and modern. Plenty of parking. And such a quiet area didn't hear a thing. Will definitely stay again
It was well located, and clean
The smell was AWFUL. From opening the door of the apartment, the small of sewage was tremendous. I slept in the living room in the sofa bed, and was SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE. I would recommend to change the sofa bed, since with that small change and the cleaning up the smell, the apartment would be lovely!
Appartment did not offer breakfast.
Easy access, spotlessly clean and they thought of everything ie tissues, reading materials , tea bags etc etc down to raizer and tooth brushes
Bed
I loved everything the apartment is so clean and Quiet, I give it 10/10
Hmm not really just the bed it’s kinda uncomfortable a lil bit, but it’s not an issue
Beautiful apartment, wish I could have stayed longer
It was amazing! Everything we needed for our stay.
Very cosy clean and had everything we needed. Owners catered to our requests with no hassle at all.
We have nothing negative to say.
I would return. The accommodation is in a quiet village with a small supermarket, a public library, a coffee shop and a pub that serves a great breakfast. There are walkways along the canal.
The shower can be a bit quirky to get started, but once started it's fine.776
Lovely location, good host. Cute little apartment which had the neccesities. The bed was super comfy and the canal right on the doorstep was an amazing touch. One minute walk to a shop for any bits needed too.
