Galway Bay Lodge by Trident Holiday Homes

The rental was overall clean, spacious, and comfortable, with plenty of room to settle in and enjoy the stay. The property was well-maintained and provided a pleasant environment in terms of layout and general condition.However, there were a few notable drawbacks. The space was quite drafty, which made it difficult to keep warm, especially given that all heating was powered by electricity. As a result, the cost of heating the property was unexpectedly high. Additionally, the hot water operated on a timer, limiting access to showers outside of set hours—meaning early morning or late-night showers were not possible, which was inconvenient.The rental was overall clean, spacious, and comfortable, with plenty of room to settle in and enjoy the stay.

Good location. 3 big bedrooms with en-suite . Good facilities and clean Curtains in the bedroom are extremely light, not lined and no blinds so impossible to have a lie in. Rooms get bright very early. Hot water in upstairs showers and kitchen not working so a plumber had to come out. No hot water on our first morning so had to contact management. I would have expected these to be working on arrival and we had no hot water the next morning as he couldn’t come until the following day

We have just had the most fantastic week back home in Ireland visiting family and friends and the Galway Bay Holiday Lodge was the most perfect base to do it from. All ensuite bedrooms. Fantastic size master and the downstairs bedroom perfect for those slightly older or less able to do stairs but still large and also has its own bath and shower. The living space is great for large families with a dining table not only in the fully equipped kitchen but also in the amazingly sized living/dining room. I have to say there was a small issue but the property manager who returns calls and texts all hours of the day and night had it rectified as quickly as was humanly possible over a weekend but nothing stopped us having an amazing time and we’re all ready looking at dates for next year.

House was large, comfortable & in a very nice neighborhood. A little frustrating that heat & hot water were difficult to control. The one time we called the local host, Diedre, with questions, she was very responsive to our immediate needs, but heat & hot water continued to be unreliable

Very good
