"Lovely cottage in really beautiful countryside."
The owners were really helpful, very friendly and I would recommend this cottage for a peaceful holiday.
-
"Tom and Kathleen were perfect hosts."
I felt as if I know them for years. Tom also took us around to meet his donkeys and the local places nearby. I had heard great things about Irish people and they surely are very generous and social. My kids were in so much love with the donkeys that they even named them Tom and Jerry. We had a great experience in living in the Irish contryside and would be glad to visit it again.

"I will never use or recommend Sykes again."
There was an issue that I needed to speak to you about but it was impossible to get through on a phone. I kept being directed to do it online then was cut off. Terrible company

"Lovely friendly hosts who had left us tea, coffee, milk, cereal and fruit for our arrival."
House was as described. Could do with a blind on the window in upstairs twin room.

"We booked the property months in advance."
After a change of plans, we decided to cancel our booking( also months after n advance), only to discover that we wouldn’t get refunded a single cent. Of course we were quite upset, but decided not to cancel the booking, even though we wouldn’t stay there. Don’t want to say anything negative about the property, as it seemed lovely in the pictures, and we had no bad experiences with it, but we will NEVER EVER book this again, and therefore definitely don’t recommend it, as no refund, even months in advance, is totally unacceptable. This shouldn’t be legal.

"A very enjoyable stay at Sunset View, and a good base to explore counties Galway and Mayo."
The house was very comfortable in a quiet setting, and had everything needed for a week away. The owners next door gave us a very friendly welcome on arrival but we only glimpsed them a couple of times during the week. Sunset View is recommended for a holiday in rural Co. Galway.

"My second stay at the cottage."
Cozy, warm, peaceful and delightful! The hosts are very kind and accommodating. It’s a short drive to Glenamaddy, Dunmore, Tuam and Roscommon for shops and restaurants but the rural location of the cottage and the surrounding landscape makes you want to wander the fields or bog instead… followed by a hot cup of tea! The perfect getaway in a stunning location. ❤️

"We really love going down to stay at sunset view Kathleen and Tom are so welcoming this was are second time going down."

"We brought my elderly father to Ireland perhaps for the last time so we wanted to stay in Co."
Galway to see family. Keelogues was the perfect base for us both for short trips out during the day and for my father to stay and rest on days that he did not feel up to travelling out. My husband discovered the beauty of an Irish golf course with Tommy whilst Kathleen surprised us with a homemade apple pie one evening made with her home grown apples. They thought of everything you could possibly need nothing was too much trouble for them. Although it was Autumn we were very comfortable and I'm sure it would make a perfect location for a break anytime of the year.

"We had a lovely stay at Sunset View - which was very aptly named - beautiful sunsets every evening from the large, well-kept garden."
Kathleen & Tom provided a much-appreciated Welcome Pack which included cereal, apple tart, bread, butter, etc. They were on hand if we needed anything and were very helpful & friendly. The cottage had everything we needed. It was clean, comfortable, well-kept and roomy. There was ample off-road parking. The area itself was very peaceful. It was a good location for a base and while we ventured out each day - to Galway City, Fr Ted's at Cloon, Maumturk Mts, Cong, Silverstrand (lovely beach), Roscommon ... Kathleen and Tom did tell us about the nearby 'hidden bridge trail' at Glinsk which was beautiful. Thankfully Kathleen provided the Eire Code for us prior to our visit, as the map on the website showed the cottage in the wrong place (we did mention this to Kathleen). The garden was great for my dog Ben to roam safely in. He was comfortable being there and even went uninvited into Tom & Kathleen's house to see them - they were very good about that! Sunset View was a lovely place to stay. Kathleen and Tom were very thoughtful & kind - such lovely people. Thank you. Linda, Carol, Anne & Ben the dog.

"We went for a week down in sunset view and it was the best holiday."
The owners Kathleen and Tom are the loveliest people would do anything for you . Tom got things for my daughter to play with. There grounds are amazing and we even got to fed there donkeys. I would definitely recommend this place. We were sad to leave but hopefully going back again. Thankyou so much Kathleen and Tom you made us feel so welcoming and the kids loved it. Lynda and family

"I had a lovely stay at Sunset View."
It was very peaceful, the wifi is excellent (better than I get at home!) and the cottage is cosy. Kathleen and Tom offer a warm welcome and are on hand to help or answer questions, but are not at all intrusive, just there if needed. Glenamaddy is a short drive away with a good supermarket, a launderette and petrol station. Lough Key is about an hour away, and well worth the drive.
-
"A lovely relaxing place , although the owners are close by they are seldom seen , but always on hand should their help be needed , your mid way between Galway and Roscommon, lots to do for the adventurer in you ."
The younger ones can go to lough key for a day out . A truly lovely couple , hope you liked the tiramisu lol . God bless

Fabulous location for us, beautiful sunset views, warm and cosy cottage with everything we needed for our stay. A huge thanks to our hosts for making our stay so special.

"Great place to stay."
Peaceful, friendly, welcoming, comfortable, helpful and kind. Great for the children. Plenty to do and lots of space. We met the twin donkeys, which belong to the owners of the house. They are very special and also a miracle.

About the location
CREGGS, COUNTY GALWAY
Roscommon 9 miles.
Situated in the north west of County Galway and a stone’s throw from the border of County Roscommon is the small rural village of Creggs. Boasting a small population of residents, Creggs is surrounded by glorious green countryside offering customers a true slice of rural living. The village has a local shop, pub serving food and a fish and chip restaurant, and is a short drive to the bustling town of Roscommon. Why not venture to the shores of Lough Rea and try a spot of angling or rent a boat along the Shannon? Also within easy reach is Strokestown House and Gardens, also home to the Irish Famine Museum. The medieval, cobbled streets of Galway are just over an hour away and here you can sample delicious seafood cuisine, traditional Irish music and experience ‘the craic’. Creggs is an excellent base for discovering the West and North West of Ireland.
