Our son attended the Ceol Na Mara String Summer School in Kylemore Abbey and there is no better location than this to stay as it is so near to the abbey. Great restaurants, Connemara National Park/Diamond Hill and grocery store all within walking distance. Beautiful places to visit just a short drive away. Perfect!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently stayed at this charming cottage, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The cottage itself is beautifully maintained and tastefully decorated, providing a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. The amenities were top-notch, with a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and breathtaking views from every room. The outdoor space was equally impressive, featuring a private garden and a seating area where we enjoyed our morning coffee while soaking in the serene surroundings. One of the highligh...more
This is a very well presented cottage close to town. Just a 2 minute drive or a ten minute walk to shops. A lot of attention has been given to the inside to ensure comfort and the outside gardens are beautifully maintained. The back yard has a nice space to sit and enjoy coffee or dinner outdoors. We plan on rebooking again very soon.
It was a perfect fit for me and my sister. It is a cozy place with a spectacular view of the bay. Communication between Love Connemara Cottages was excellent. The neighbors were friendly and it had lovely views. It is in the middle of the village where there are several cafes, pubs, and start of walks.
My family and I were immediately at home. The house was in pristine condition. The kitchen is well stocked with all the basics, plus nice-to-have items like an air fryer. My kids enjoyed the assortment of books and toys. The shower pressure was amazing. The location was fantastic. It's an easy walk into town, but just far enough that you feel removed. The only negative is that there is no clothes dryer in the house. Traveling with kids, we had to do several loads of laundry while at the house. Using the clothesline outside took a bit more planning and watching the weather than I'm used to....more
A very comfortable place with all you need for your stay. Well located in the center of the town. Well communication with customer service
We had a lovely family holiday at this property: the house is really spacious and homely, and the location is incredible, right on the coast and very private.
We had a wonderful stay in Clifden. The apartment is fully equipped with everything needed for a hassle-free vacation. We would come back to Clifden just yo say here again - an absolutely amazing place! Excellent communication as well. 100% recommend!
Great location, weather fantastic and family enjoyed it. Beaches and things to do are plentiful around the area and the restaurants are good
The cottage is very well located: as it's at the end of the driveway, once inside you feel like you're alone in the middle of nature. Very pleasant kitchen area.
Cabin 485 - Claddaghduff was wonderful. The customer service exceptional, our hosts were welcoming and friendly. The cabin is new, exceptionally well fitted out, clean and comfortable. Every amenity supplied, including speedy WIFI and broadband connections, and a great TV (though the weather was so great it wasn't on much). We were already familiar with the area, and the location was perfect: in the middle between Cleggan and Clifton, and only minutes away from Sweeneys store and pub, and Omey Strand. Excellent value for money. We wanted to come back in July, but it's already booked! :-( But...more
We just wanted to say that my family and I had a fabulous stay in Carna at the apartment hosted by Nora Folan. Nora was the ideal and generous host and the apartment was immaculate and nice and warm and perfectly situated for our explorations of Connemara and the Gaeltacht. We hope to book there again. Please pass on our thanks to Nora. We rate our experience there ten out of 10. Thank you and best wishes in 2023.
It was a pleasure to stay in this cottage. The countryside is beautiful and beaches, a pub and a grocery shop are within easy walking distance. Many thanks to the landlady for the warm welcome!
We loved staying in this house. Extremely well appointed and well stocked. Comfortable and functioned really well. Would be great for 2 small families
My wife & 2 kids (& dog) spent 3 wonderful nights in this beautiful, recently refurbished cottage, right in the centre of Clifden town. It was the perfect place to stay for our trip and we had everything on our doorstep, shops, pubs and parking immediately outside the door. The comfort and cleanliness was top notch and I would not hesitate recommending this to anyone as the perfect place to stay. Looking forward to our return visit already!
This is our second booking of this lovely property. It is a couple of doors down from the incredible Guys Bar and a host of other great dining options. The apartment is clean, spacious, and extremely comfortable for a great stay.
Very clean apartment in a great location. Easy parking and will all the amenities required for a short stay.
What a beautiful property, we loved our stay. Stunning views, comfy beds, well stocked kitchen & roaring fire. We had mixed weather over our stay and the rainy days were perfect with the fire & sunny days bliss with those views. Short drive to Ballynahinch Castle & Roundstone. We have beautiful memories of a beautiful stay
Had the pleasure of staying in this lovely house with friends. The decor is tasteful and our bedroom was comfortable with a nice ensuite. The kitchen/dining area was great for entertaining with everything you needed. Lovely grounds outside too. A 15 minute walk into town where there were some nice bars and great places to eat
We had a wonderful family holiday staying in this cottage. The cottage is superbly decorated and fitted out. Was extremely clean and in such a brilliant location. Our host Marguerite was very pleasant and accommodating. Would highly recommend staying here.
Disastrous weather for fishing but good for touring. More swims than ever. Getting to know Oughterard. Booked again for next year
Just home from a beautiful stay at Bog Bay. The house is lovely, large and has everything you could imagine. Frank was very helpful. Kitchen is well equipped and we really enjoyed the outside seating area. The beds were extremely comfortable and we loved that each bedroom had an ensuite bathroom. We loved the quiet of the countryside but also being close enough to walk to Oughterard which we did several times a day. This truly is a perfect location, close to the city as well as near enough for day trips to the countryside.
The apartment had all mod cons and everything was of a high standard. Very comfortable and great location . I would have liked some printed advise regarding accessing hot water .(There is a booster box in press in hallway but this was not apparent ) and TV instruction. I could not access TV channels which was very disappointing .No instruction whatsoever. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay immensely.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the house in Cleggan. It was very spacious and had everything we needed. The location on a quiet lane and very close to the beach was brilliant, it was so tranquil and restful. Cleggan shop and restaurant were only a 10mn walk away and it was the perfect base to explore the Connemara area. Recommended.
The house was great, the rooms were perfect, everything was nice and clean. We will definitely come back another time.
We loved our stay at Apt 432. It is so conveniently located in Clifden a minutes walk from pubs, restaurants and most importantly the supermarket, which has an extensive range of food. The apartment is very spacious for two people but also equipped so that guests can also entertain a couple of friends socially for an evening as well. Every thing is perfect so there is no need for me too say more than that but I would particularly like to compliment the owners on the decor, where over the first couple of days one continuously spots the little touches which suggest that someone has given consid...more
Confortable house, well equiped. We had a lovely time there Really spacious and cosy, great Light in the kitchen /living room during the day There Washington a bath tub! Thank for everything !
From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we enjoyed the location and surroundings. This cottage is a great base for touring Connemara (which we did a lot of during the 10 days): comfortable, well appointed, well equipped and lovely decorated. Fast and efficient WLAN was constantly available during our stay. We were only three but bigger parties will find plenty of space, too. Although the owners live on site, we had all the privacy we needed to feel home away from home. Aedan, the host, is friendly and accessible and although we never had any reason to call for help or support with ...more
Staff were lovely to deal with. This property has lots of space for a large group/family. Excellent location. Kitchen is fully equipped which allowed us to cook breakfast every morning and lots of cutlery/crockery and a dishwasher which made life easier for such a big group. Beds were very comfortable and the house was spotlessly clean! Bonus points for supplying a travel cot and highchair for our baby! Would definitely return to this property
We had a great time staying at the cottage, it was clean and comfortable and within easy striking distance of Clifden and the local attractions. Josephine was very helpful. We would certainly like to stay again!
Our second time staying in these houses in Cleggan. Great location right in the village. Lovely, comfortable house with everything you could need and 4 good sized double bedrooms. Cleggan is a great little town with lots of lovely beaches easily accessible by car and on foot. Would absolutely recommended for a stay in Connemara.
We have stayed in a number of houses in Connemara and this is the best! House was spotless and had everything you could possibly need. Lovely access to beach and owner was in touch with us to make sure we had settled in and had issues. We brought our golden retriever and he loved it too! Would recommend this house and look forward to booking our return visit!
Es war ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt in einem gemütlichen Haus. Die Kommunikation und der Service war hervorragend. Das Ferienhaus können wir bestens empfehlen.
Checking in was so easy, very clean, excellent location, on the doorstep you have restaurants , shops and an amazing walk up diamond hill. highly recommend this apartment and the locality. Tip: washing line in in the courtyard around the back, not easy to find but a great addition especially as your so closes to amazing beaches
The house location is perfect to go by foot to the town centre or to do the short walk to Clifden Castle. The cottage is very comfortable with large rooms and is fully equiped. The place is also quiet. Our host came to welcome us on arrival and there was everything to breakfast in case we would have arrived too late to do shopping. This is a place I recommend to everyone visiting Clifden and Connemara.
Admittedly we were blessed with good September weather and few fellow visitors, so that the apartment allowed us to feel part of the wonderful setting. Even in the spells of poorer conditions, the views across the Lough were very relaxing. Conveniently situated for the hills, the loughs and the coast, it allowed us to feel we had done justice to Connemara in our short stay. The apartment itself was very comfortable and its management relaxed but efficient.
Great help and friendliness from the hosts the Kings. Lovely time at a great location. Home was warm and comftorable.
The cottage exceeded our expectations. Spacious, well-built home with fabulous views of the ocean, the Aran Islands, and the mountains. Stunning sunsets. Responsive owner. Great place to just relax. Good jumping off location, especially for sites in the Conemara. We would return.
The house is in the most beautiful location, with an absolutely stunning view and complete peace and quiet surrounding it. The rooms are extremely spacious and comfortable, the kitchen is large and well-equipped with everything you're likely to need during your stay and the property is kept extremely clean. We really enjoyed our stay here and would happily return. The caretaker was extremely responsive when we ran out of heating oil, and it was sorted within about an hour - excellent service. If I had to point out any minor issues they would be: * Some areas require minor maintenance, e.g....more
Great location to explore Clifden and surrounding area. Love our peat fire each night. Sandy our host was great. She went out of her way to be helpful.
My friends and I stayed here while visiting Connemara for a hill walking trip. It was warm, clean and had everything we needed for our weekend away. All information was provided ahead of time and the hosts were helpful and friendly. I would recommend this cottage
We have stayed in many holiday homes in Galway and Mayo, this has been our favourite so far. The location was fantastic, directly across the road from a stunning beach.The house was extremely clean and was really well equipped with everything we needed. Mary was a lovely host, friendly and welcoming. Thank you so much to her. We really want to come back next year.
We’ve stayed in this cottage on many occasions. The location is beautiful- amazing scenery, tranquility and nature on your doorstep. Fabulous hikes and walks from your front door and all the beauty of Connemara with in easy reach- beautiful beaches etc. and the villages of Clifden, Letterfrack a short drive away. The cottage is always spotless, beautifully prepared each time we’ve visited and the host is friendly and most helpful. Very well equipped with everything you need. A more comfortable sofa would give it full marks all round! One of our favourite spots- we look forward all year to ...more
Perfect location in Clifden, close to all amenities, pubs, restaurants etc. Apartment is spacious and was spotless and easily accommodated our group. We have stayed here several times and hands down our No.1 place to stay while in Clifden. Apartment has parking underneath in a secure underground carpark. The apartment also has a lift.
wir waren mit allem zufrieden, die Aussicht haben wir uns etwas schöner vorgestellt, über die Lebensmittel als Gastgeschenk haben wir uns sehr gefreut
Lovely cottage with wood burner. Quite cluttered and clearly a loved family holiday home. Lovely outside space with animals for company!
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans le cottage 182 de Letterfrack. Mr Veldon a été très agréable. La maison était très propre, grande et chaleureuse. Nous étions 10 et nous n’avons même pas utilisé toutes les chambres… Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la chaleur de la maison (quel plaisir après une journée dehors de se retrouver au chaud) et le pub juste à côté dans lequel on mange très bien et qui propose de la musique traditionnelle le soir. Il nous a juste manqué une cafetière électrique mais c’est un détail ! Allez-y les yeux fermés !
Apartment surpassed expectations… really clean, spacious and perfectly located. Curtesy calls to make sure we were happy. Would definitely recommend and revisit ourselves in the future.
Great location, very quiet, beautiful landscapes between mountains and sea, lovely cottage, very well equipped and very comfortable beds. Perfect for a lovely holiday in Connemara. The caretaker was very nice and helpful. Lots of touristic information in the cottage too. We really enjoyed our stay there, I will definitely recommend it!
Lovely accommodation in Connemara, close to Clifden. Brilliant as a base for exploring the west of Ireland
Letterfrack and this house are a great and comfy base for touring Connemara. Liam gave us excellent tips. Highly recommend.
Contained everything we needed. Right in the middle of things. Double room a bit small. But 2 single rooms are great
A beautiful apartment in beautiful surroundings and great value for money. I would recommend this apartment for anybody
The house was perfect and very quiet , large view on a nice garden i recommend ! top sophie (France )
We enjoyed our stay here. Our contact Martina was a pleasure to deal with. The cottage has everything you need, but one or two improvements would help: the oven was tricky to use as the numbers on the dials had worn off and the door didn't close. There is only one bathroom, which may be an issue for large groups. The house was immaculately clean, and very comfortable. The views of the 12 Bens (when not smothered in cloud) are spectacular. I would recommend the cottage without hesitation.
This is our third year staying at Cottage 311 and each year it gets better. This year new beds and new flooring. As always a great view to look down over fields to the sea with a glass off wine. We did have a problem with the heat not working but phoned the contact and it was sorted that day while we were out enjoying ourselves, great contact and great service.
This property is one of the nicest self-catering, pet-friendly holiday homes we have ever stayed in. It was spotlessly clean and the various food goodies left for us were very much appreciated. The kitchen is modern (eye-level oven, grill and microwave) and very well equipped. There is enough cupboard room to store one's own provisions. The sitting-room is not a separate room (as one might think looking at the photo on the property's webpage) but continues on from the kitchen and has its own sliding door opening out to the terrace. The TV worked without any problems and offers all the usual ...more
We had a lovely stay in Sandy Heels in Roundstone. This house is very tastefully decorated and has a lovely little paved garden out the back with garden furniture which was beautiful during the hot weather.
Brilliant location..meet and greet was excellent..home from home.a small shelter in the backyard would be appreciated for the smokers in the group
Loved this little cottage that perfectly fit our group of 9. It was clean, quiet, and in a great location for us as we wanted to be out in the rural areas.
This cottage is quite pleasant and very well placed for a discovery of the charming city of Clifden and Connemara. It's a very nice rental, very well equipped.
all fine, bedside cabinet with table with lamp would have been acceptable (no subtle lighting from hanging shades). stained kettle spoiled wter for tea.
Good typical cottage with a nice View of the sea near all stores ,shops and pub… Very quiet no noise.’
What an amazing location for this lovely cottage. We were so lucky with sunshine every day! Climbing Diamond Hill is a must. Swimming at Glassillaun Beach in the Atlantic was superb. Connemara is truly wonderful. Everyone so friendly. Thank you Ireland.
Enjoyed our stay in Clifden. It is a good bae for visiting Conamara. Cottage is very comfortable and good location.
On arrival the cottage was white instead of the warmer colour of the advert. We had trouble finding the heating but were helped fast by the caretaker. The cottage is very spacious and has a view to die for. We loved. The living room was quite small if the cottage would be fully booked but for two is was good. The kitchen was big and it looked like everything was there. But there were no tablets for the dishwasher. Please note that there is a Dolce Gusto coffeemaker and no alternative, so bring cups (We didn't) It was very nice that there were a washing machine and dryer.
Lovely place but tides very hard to understand and put alot of pressure on your plans. Island very unspoilt.
Our family had a lovely stay in this lovely house. It was bright, clean, well furnished and had an excellent library.
4 consecutive years coming to this house. Location is fabulous, across the road from the wonderful Olivers bar and the amazing Little Fish where we indulged too often! Almost everything about the house is great and it really feels like home to us by now. All 5 people that stayed in the house agreed that the one big letdown is the beds. The mattresses on all the beds need replacing to enable a good night's sleep. It's the only reason this house does not get all 5 * We're unable to return next year but hope to be back in the future.
Very enjoyable stay in the house, despite some issues with the heating. House well equipped. Would have appreciated soap in the bathrooms. Beautiful location. Would stay here again.
Had another great holiday. The weather was much better this year. I went with 3daughters 7 grandchildren and two sons in law made flying visits! Bernie and sean could have been better hosts. It was no problem having them on site in fact it was handy when you needed something Thanks Bernie and Sean
Lovely house, great location, beautiful views BUT No blind on one bedroom rooflight. Cooker in an antique and no way to open rooflights. Front door latch locked us out one evening.
The house is nice and has some lovely views. The kitchen is very well equipped and has an air fryer and a grill. The sitting room is very homely. The house gets chilly in the winter as the floors are tiled but there's a big fireplace and good heating. Dog's bay is a short drive for stunning walks. Our little dogs loved the garden and had a great time.
You could not find a better spot for a holiday home, the views are incredible. The house is very spacious and could be very comfortable, but there were a few downsides. The seating in the living room was very worn and uncomfortable. The dining room chairs were uncomfortable and some were wobbly, the table was sticky. The beds in the triple room were terribly umcomfortable. But the biggest downside was the moldy smell in the living room. There was a scented candle burning when we arrived, but it could not cover the smell. The house definitely needs some work and new furniture to justify the pri...more
Very well located at Kylemore lake. Beautifull surroundings, beautifull Abbey, close to the sea. Very quite location, ideal for a family stay. Despite the midges ;-) really enjoyed being here.
The house was great and the view to the ocean fantastic. We recommend this place to stay and it´s great even in bad weather conditions. The hostages were really nice and took care about everything.
This was our second stay at these apartments. The location is fantastic and the apartments have all you need and are extremely clean. Very easy arrival and leaving process.
The location of the house is perfect for a quiet, remote vacation. Those who love nature, the sea and seclusion will find the perfect accommodation here.
Not the newest building from outside (pictures in description are not actual), can hear neighbours from other appartments. Good starting point for hiking, walking to connemara N.P. Personal parking space free provided. Pub and supermarket close by. But would come back. Good for families.
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was very well equipped and in a good location. Staff very friendly.
We’ve been coming to Rosses cottage for over 20 years and we love it. It’s all about the location- the spectacular views, the accessibility of the beach and the tranquility. It’s a great base for touring Connemara but also a great place to just be.
We always love to find a dog friendly stay and whilst the cottage accepts dogs the location of the cottage next to a very busy road was a constant worry. The garden is not fenced in and therefore each time our pup needed to go out one of us would also need to go out to mind her. So keep that in mind especially if the weather is as poor as we experienced. The cottage itself is bijou but comfortable. Heating was incredibly efficient and effective, hot water plentiful and the wood burner a dream! However there are some areas that need updating/decorating. WiFi is excellent. Please note that t...more
This house is in an area of outstanding natural beauty. It has everything you could possible need. It is conducive to relaxation, clever design, comfort and amazing gardens with spectacular views and wildlife. We didn’t want to leave.
We spent New Year in this house in Clifden Glen. The house was modern and spotlessly clean, the kitchen is well equipped and house has comfy beds. Heating is electric storage heating and living area was toasty warm, no need to light the fire. The only drawback is the living area is quite small and would be cramped if all the beds were occupied or you are spending a lot of time in the house.
This is a modern comfortable studio apartment in the very centre of town. It is a new build and very well insulated so you cannot hear neighbouring apartments. The only thing you can hear is recycling/ bin truck. The bed is a sofa bed so that was comfortable for relaxing in the evening watching tv. Very good value. I would return
La maison est très bien située au centre du Connemara. Il y a déjà une jolie petite balade sur la coline d'en face. Bien que la route principale passe en bordure, le bruit ne gêne pas. Le terrain apparait trop bitumé, la maison sans grand caractère, mais l'intérieur est vraiment agréable, très lumineux (dormez avec un masque car jamais de volet dans le pays). Seuls défauts : odeur de fuel près de l'évier de la cuisine; système d'eau à l'étage tonitruant (drôle, mais à couper la nuit !), et surtout capricieux (s'arrête parfois, en plein shampoing...); un ou deux matelas trop minces pour certai...more
Logement spacieux pour 4 personnes, très Propre, literie confortable,2 chambres et 2 douches.Je recommande.
J'ai été surprise de découvrir à l'arrivée que nous allions devoir payer l'électricité. Cela nécessiterait d'être précisé clairement avant la réservation.
The appartment was awesome. So well located, with all we needed in it, including the washing machine. Good pub & supermarket at 5 min walking. We keep this adress for next time ! & definitively recommend.
Bedrooms clean and nice with really comfortable beds. Bathroom clean and adequate. Spacious lounge and kitchen area but had a musty smell. Aired it as much as we could but didn’t get rid of it.
We spend a good time in this apartment in Letterfrack, I have only two remarks: - the cleanings was not satisfying for our arrival, - the water-heating system is really too noisy.
Comfortable apartment. The building and external space were still in process of being finished, which we hadn’t expected, and the information on the property and surrounding areas still incomplete. The TV did not work which was disappointing. The location was very pretty but not safely walkable to any amenities. Good base for exploring Connemara.
The apartment is conveniently located in the village of Letterfrack which has several pubs/restaurants/cafés (and there's live music many nights) as well as a pretty well stocked shop. The road outside was busy during the day, but quiet at night. Beautiful view out the window of Diamond Hill. The manager, Louisa, was very friendly and helpful. Contains the basic necessities you need to cook meals (though providing things like pepper, olive oil and washing powder would be a nice touch, as these are things you are highly unlikely to use more than a fraction of during your stay). The ...more
