The Blackrock Retreat

Great location. Exceptional home. Very clean and comfortable! Home away from home

The apartment was in a nice quiet location at the end of the Salthill promenade. Close enough to walk into Salthill but quiet enough to escape the hustle and bustle if you wanted

I can’t really fault it. We were staying for 1 night. I would definitely stay again.

The location was excellent. We liked being near the bay and that we could walk to some eating places.

The bedrooms were small. The radiator made noise in one bedroom that made it difficult to sleep. The shower was difficult to use in one bathroom.

Casa molto ben arredata, molto accogliente.

Très beau domaine, sécurisé et un environnement très bien entretenu. L’appartement/maison très bien équipée et très cosy. Merci à notre hôtesse pour toutes les choses de première nécessité (sel, poivre, huile, café, thé, produits pour lave linge et lave vaisselle….)

Poêle à frire en fin de vie 😉

Clean, cozy and great location.

It was close to all the amenities, it was very quiet and comfortable

The second bedroom bed was very small but it was manageable

Excellent location and within walking distance of the promenade. The coffee pods were a nice touch and appartment very clean. Can't fault it.

Near everything and comfortable

Not suitable for disabled. The only acceptable shower was leaking and though reported was not repaired during our stay Parking was at the back and involved quite a few steps. We used the emergency parking bay at the front but neighbours not happy with that

Die Räume sind sehr gut eingerichtet. Di Ausstatten der Küche ist sehr zweckmäßig und umfassend. Es ist eine typische irische Wohnung in einer sehr ruhigen Anlage.

Die Anbindung an den öffentlichen Verkehr ist mäßig. Das Geschirr in der Küche ist leider (wenige Teile) schmutzig. Die Fenster im Schlafzimmer sind seit langem ungeputzt. Das warme Wasser beim Waschbecken ist lauwarm. Die Wassererwärmung bei der Dusche ist schwer einzustellen, da das Wasser entweder sehr heiß oder lauwarm ist.

The property is in a really nice development. Walk to sea front only 5 mins.

Had problems opening the key lock box, needed a small screw driver to prise it open. Parking is tight. and a hike to the apartment if one has lots of stuff to get from car. Shower in en-suits needs maintenance. Traffic in and around Galway is mad.

Once located, excellent instructions for access (entry) to property via text.

A little harder to find than it needs to be. Of course, once you find it, there is the "ah-ha" moment. Maybe a better photo of the parking area. Took 15 mins but that could be my personal stupidity. lol

Everything was great. Easy check in, clean, great location. We walked to dinner both nights and then along the ocean. It is a wonderful place in a wonderful location. Very quiet. Thank you!!!!

Nothing. We liked it all.

Great location and very clean.

I was traveling with my 85 year old Aunt. The unit is one level, but parking is on another level. This was not disclosed. Ran out of hot water and the flow and temperature of the showers are poor. Toilet seat in the main bathroom needs attention. It moves around and the bolts need tightening. The lid closes on you like a clam shell when seated on it. Reached out regarding the water and was given a lousy excuse initially. Someone else contacted me and unfortunately with her advice we still did not have hot water at the sink taps. I find this very unhygienic especially when washing dishes.

Great location and lovely property

We weren't sent the check-in instructions until 3 hours before we were due to arrive. This meant we were very concerned that there was an issue with our booking.

Great location. Very quiet and easy parking

Very minor- one room had great blackout curtains which is great in mid summer . Would have loved the same in the bigger bedroom. Also , would have liked to get the entry instructions earlier that day before I started my journey there.

Location was quiet and clean. Nice to have an apartment and not a hotel because we were 2 couples.

It's good for 3 people, but not 4 because the 2nd bedroom bed is a smaller than usual and the bedroom is small and cramped. The sizes are accurately shown in the photo of the bedroom, so easy to decide for yourself.

Very clean, comfortable and excellent location. Everything available in the apartment to make our stay most enjoyable.

Decor beautiful and beds very comfortable. Very clean and well laid out.

The showers- water pressure in shower in main bathroom was very poor and the shower in the en suite didn’t heat the water at all. Also one toilet he’d no top on the toilet seat and the other wouldn’t stay up while you were sitting on it.

The apartment is immaculate, new and very well stocked with everything one would need. The decor is up to date and tasteful. Both bedrooms are decent size offering plenty of room.

Despite instructions that suggest the unit should be easy to locate, it is not. it's sort of on the backside on a strip of units that you'd need to know ahead of time to find.

The kitchen and rooms were tidy and clean.

Access to room from taxi was a bit difficult and confusing.

This cosy ground floor apartment was in a lovely quiet area about 10 minutes walk into the centre of Salthill. Beautifully furnished and finished accomodation. Arrival was lovely as lights and heat were on, this can mean a lot when you're away from home and working. Beds were very comfortable, lovely bed linen. Some lovely welcoming touches, tea & coffee, milk in fridge. Lock box was a bit tricky and took a while to open. It was a little expensive for 2 people but then I didn't ask if they could reduce the price a little. Thank you to the hosts for the welcome touches. We would definitely stay again.

Very comfortable. Great amenities. Two bathrooms.

Well appointed apartment providing everything you you could need. Spotlessly clean.

Some issues with access but sorted out quickly.
