Reviews of Sona Baile Home Stay

Sorry we didnt quite hit your high expectations but you seem a little pernickity in your critiques.... The colour scheme in our rooms is the red and green of Mayo, so hardly dated unless you want to address the whole county on that one...the kids duvet was Frozen, Disney... Lidl fayre is perfectly good quality. Very popular in Westport, unfortunately, especially with the cost of living inflating so quickly we need to be careful with purchasing the best value for money in order to try and keep our own prices in check. The nearest 'M and S' is in Galway and would require a 6 hr round trip.. The extra cost would need to be passed on to our guests and it is impractical. it is also worth noting that during the recent product recall from a particular food manufacturer. The products recalled affected ALL supermarkets in Ireland, Supervalu, Dunnes, Aldi, Tesco, Lidl etc, thus demonstrating they all source from the same supplier, essentially the same products, they're just presented and branded differently. You are paying for the brand perception NOT the product quality.... Our breakfast is hardly basic. You forgot to mention, choice of hot drinks, fresh ground coffee or instant, various teas and cadbury hot chocolate, oj, yogurt muesili, granola and ample fresh fruit of usually oranges, bananas, apples, conference pears and melon. We do also leave quite generous amounts out to gelp yourself rather than a strictly portion controlled 10g of cheese and 2 slices of bread each.... Perhaps stay at the excellent Bervie next time for only 165 euro per night. You paid less than 80.

We are NOT an Airbnb, nor do we claim to be...we are a homestay and very homely as many other reveiws attest to, unless your home has sevants to serve you a cooked breakfast which you were clearly unhappy about. It's help yourself to a plentiful continental breakfast....but making your own breakfaat was too much...as was reading about what you had booked. Apart from making it clear on booking website we sent you several messages at the time of booking AND before your arrival to digest how we do breakfast, yet you weren't able to do that. In future please read details of bookings to avoid disappointment and unnecessary slating of someone else's livelihood because you couldnt take two minutes to read a message.....thank you.

Dear Dick Thanks for your helpful feedback. The bath, like the balcony, is a special feature of the room enjoyed by many guests for A Chill...perhaps fewer hours spent in the local pub would help in the clarity of vision and need to visit the toilet during the night, making it a special feature rather than a hazard. Good job you avoided the balcony after the pub... The TV is absolutely watchable from the bed. All bed linen is washed after each stay. The shower works perfectly well and I made a point of asking you how the room was after your first night. You assured me it was al fine and no problem....as for the cat, we have referred it for extra training on 'acceptable ways to enter the building'. Have you ever tried training a cat though? Also, we could have secured all the windows and left all the fruit to go off on the searing heat giving you an additional reason to complain...
