Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This shop is a little gem right in the heart of Galway. The unique hand craved sheep by the very talented Raytus,are the show stoppers.They also have beautiful woolen scraves, throws, gloves and of course sheepskin rugs. A must for anybody looking for that something different.
The customer experience is both attentive and welcoming and merits a visit for sure.
Florrie the sheep has prime position in the living room.
I will definitely be back to add to the flock.
Thank you

We couldn't miss this shop as we were passing it because of the model shhep at its door. It has a great range of woollen products for sale but we didn't buy anything as my wife had already bought herself a couple of Foxford pure lambswool scarfs elsewhere.

An enchanting store of hand carved, hand made sheep from Ireland. A trip Galway would not be complete without a visit to this store. Make sure you have a walk upstairs to see the workshop in which they are made.
