Great property, great location.
2.0 / 5.0
Although this lovely Georgian farmhouse is full of potential, it did not come up to our expectations. The kitchen was poorly equipped, there were many flies in the house on our arrival and the general cleanliness was substandard. Problems with hot water and a shower that was either scolding hot or freezing cold!
As far as value for money is concerned, it was not only overpriced for what was offered, but the fact that the full amount was required at the time of booking more than six months in advance (no initial deposit) meant that someone was earning interest on our money and did not even bother to use it to improve the poor conditions.
I shall be seeking compensation from either the owner or the agents.

This place was amazing. It is off the beaten path, but close to many beautiful places to visit. We had a lovely family vacation with our two adult boys. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to be outside of the city life, surrounded by beautiful and peaceful farm land. The host Christine is so helpful and informative and knows so much about the area. Thank you for an unforgettable family vacation.

Christine and Willie were both so helpful and went above and beyond the call of duty to help during our week-long stay in their spacious, renovated country house.

Great location, close to town yet out in the country. The house is roomy and comfortable, which is a feat for its age. The setting allowed an easing into the morning with time in the tranquil outside space and regenerating from a busy day of sightseeing in the evening. As host, Christine is on top of everything. She and the house lived up to its online ratings.

We loved staying in this house, It was just what we were looking for. Part of the experience we wanted was to stay in an old house with modern conveniences. Dealing with Christine was great, Always responds and she came to meet us personally. A beautiful home in a beautiful setting..

We rented this property to have an informal family reunion in Ireland. Staying at this beautiful farm house was the absolute best way to see everything that we wanted to on our trip. We would have breakfast in the morning and then take off for the day’s destination. At night we would all regroup and plan for another fun day. The house has so much charm. It is immaculate and laid out so well for a group. Christine as the hostess is so involved and so much fun! This place is a definite yes!! Highly recommend. We will be back!

The house was beautiful and just the right amount of country setting. Was great to get to stay in the Ireland countryside! Christine was a phenomenal host. When we arrived, it was after some people had already been in Europe for a week and we were counting on the washer and dryer. Unfortunately the washer didn’t work when we got there, but without a beat Christine offered to do all of our laundry at her own home and brought it back to us later in the day. We also had a question of what the contraption was across the road, and we got a full demonstration from her family member (the Guiness record holder) for Sheaf tossing! A great stay, and we all enjoyed the home fully! Thanks again for the stay Christine!

A country lane leads to this old farmhouse rehabbed with every modern convenience. Large window gives picture perfect view of cows in their pasture as well as mysterious poles built by Guinness world record holder of Highland Games event. Location is convenient to Galway Limerick and south central attractions. Christine is a gracious and interesting host. Loved every minute at the house.

My family and I stayed at Ardboula House for our family vacation. It was a great place to have as a home base for our day trips but it was also very comfortable to just relax and hang out. The setting is beautiful and all the neighborhood animals were an added benefit. You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay here.

Perfect Ireland experience. The house is beautiful, with beautiful views. Excellent location to explore the southwest coast of Ireland and to interact with the lovely local people of Ireland!
Christine is the perfect, lovely host, with lots of great ideas of places to go, see, and eat. We look forward to going back!

Nice & Quiet
We really enjoyed our stay in Tulla. There were 7 of us and the house fit us perfectly. The beds are comfortable and kitchen is well-stocked with everything you’ll need. We grilled dinner outside one night. Watched cows being herded across the street from our rooftop terrace. Christine is a great hostess and so helpful. We have very good memories of our time spent at Abdoula House.

Angenehmer Aufenthalt in ländlicher Umgebung
Wir haben uns in dem komfortablen, großzügigen Haus sehr wohl gefühlt. Es liegt sehr ruhig und ist von einem schönen Garten umgeben. Christine ist eine außerordentlich freundliche, humorvolle und hilfbereite Gastgeberin, die uns einen herzlichen Empfang bereitet hat. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und sind rundum zufrieden.

Fabulous accommodations and loving host family
Although we came at a difficult time with the COVID-19 virus on the rise the O’Brien family was welcoming and accommodating to all of us. What a beautiful family!!!
Their old family home is full of rich history and if walls could talk I would bet there would be many stories to share.
Truly enjoyed our time and would highly recommend this piece of heaven 🙏🏻
Thank you to the O’Brien family for your hospitality and kindness.
