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.
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.
A very comfortable place with all you need for your stay. Well located in the center of the town. Well communication with customer service
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 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.
Great location, weather fantastic and family enjoyed it. Beaches and things to do are plentiful around the area and the restaurants are good
Trois chambres séparées, un séjour-cuisine, une salle de bain. Les équipements pour la lessives sont appréciables (lave-linge et sèche-linge).
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!
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
Great location for anglers. For a bit extra Frank supplied a boat with a reliable engine . The lake view was lovely. House nice and warm when I arrived, had everything I needed for the week. Thank you Geraldine and Frank.
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.
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.
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.
(Really) spacious yet cozy property. The contact person was extremely friendly and helpful. The scenery was breathtaking. Very clean, the beds were comfortable.
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 !
Had a fantastic stay here, nothing to complain about. The power went the last day of our stay due to Storm Eowyn but we were well looked after. We were checked in on and flasks of hot water & lanterns provided. The apartment was warm & cosy even after the power went, would definitely stay here again.
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
Our stay was most enjoyable and we were provided with everything we needed or wanted. Fantastic local support!
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!
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!
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
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.
First and foremost trust the directions "they" provide and NOT GPS! (nothing terrible happened but the GPS took us down a single track road that ends with a foot path or bike path and no cottage, had we only followed the directions we would have been fine) We arrived after dark on Thanksgiving Day (it's obvious we are American) to our cottage and what a happy site to see it all lit up for our arrival. The road is a bit tricky but if you've driven in the country this is no surprise. The cottage was just as pictured and took no time to heat to our comfort level. We were gifted fresh fruit, ...more
Great help and friendliness from the hosts the Kings. Lovely time at a great location. Home was warm and comftorable.
Es war ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt in einem gemütlichen Haus. Die Kommunikation und der Service war hervorragend. Das Ferienhaus können wir bestens empfehlen.
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
Walked into a lovely warm house Mary had the fire lit and a bottle of wine, it was a lovely surprise and start to the holiday. The house was very well equipped. great views and lovely walks close
Angela could not have been more helpful to us. We were 6 adults, 3 kids and one dog and everyone had a great time staying on this wonderful house.
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
Excellennt. roomy, well equipped house in a super location. A little expensive but to be expected at this time of year
Appartement très bien situé, très agréable, très confortable et lumineux Grand garage très pratique Parfait
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.
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 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 wonderful stay at Mary and Joe's Cottage. It was exactly like what we expected and we were very lucky with the weather. Visiting Connemara in February is possible and we have a great time. I would defintely recommend this cottage. Thanks again to Mary and Joe for their kindness.
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 well appointed and a beautiful kitchen for entertaining. The views of the waterfront and surroundings make it a wonderful spot for families or friends.
all fine, bedside cabinet with table with lamp would have been acceptable (no subtle lighting from hanging shades). stained kettle spoiled wter for tea.
Tastefully decorated and well equipped house in a perfect location in village with great views. Highly recommend
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.
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.
We had a lovely weekend in Cottage 425 Clifden. The location is brilliant as you can walk into the town in a few minutes where there are loads of bars and restaurants. The house is very spacious and 8 of us and a baby had loads of space. James looked after us very well.
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
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.
It was a very nice accommodation (clean, well equiped) We were really happy. Sue Ellen support was very kind.
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.
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 have been for the second time in Cottage 215 and it was as lovely as the first time. The house is well equipped with everything you need for a holiday with family or friends.The location at the tip of Aughrus Peninsula is fantastic, you are literally surrounded by the Atlantic. All windows have sea view. No matter if the weather is nice and you enjoy your breakfast on the terrace or if it's stormy and you watch the rage of the elements outside through the panoramic window - it's always a great experience. And there is no better way to end the than with a peat fire at the open fire place.
This cottage had the usual shower issues (coming from Australia where there are no shower issues!). 2 ensuites - showers were passable. 1 bathroom - shower in the bath, no pressure, not passable. There were no instructions for the washing/dryer machine - a real mystery. The oven/cooktops were only "ON" when a switch on the wall (very odd) was switched on, with no hint that this was how you operated the oven/cooktops. The TV had instructions but were VERY confusing.
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
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.
5mins to uncrowded beach.Loved the quiet.15mins drive to Clifden local shop 5 mins drive Ideal for a relaxing getaway
Delighted to have found this wonderful cottage near to Clifden town, which happened to be available for a last minute short stay during peak tourist season. As it happens the cottage has only recently reopened for holiday letting following some upgrades, and this was very evident throughout. Pre arrival communication and check in was seamless. The cosy cottage was clean and warm and the views from the living room and bedrooms are truly beautiful. The cottage was well equipped with everything I needed for my stay. A real home from home. I would have no hesitation in recommending this lovely pro...more
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
A loveley house and good startingpoint to explore the surroudings. The location is difficult to find at first (its snot Hidde with a very small nameplate), but once found you feel like you are in a smalle paradise. With clifden on one side and hikingtrails on the other, there is also plenty to do to spend your holiday! Just one suggestion: we dutch love a view, so you may prune some sightlines in a few places…. That would make ithe place even more special!
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.
A lovely modern property at Clifden Glen Holiday village. Everything was perfect. It’s well furnished, spotlessly clean, very comfortable and had everything we needed for our short stay. The holiday village is well maintained and just a short distance from Clifden town. 2 minutes by car, 10 minutes walk. The Connemara greenway walks and cycle routes are very close by too. Beautifully peaceful and scenic. Everything was excellent and we can’t wait to return again!
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
