We cannot speak highly enough about our weeks stay in Carna. Everything was perfect . The hosts could not have been more helpful and their house is stunning in a beautiful location.
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!
We had a wonderful stay in Clifden and the cottage was a significant part of it; it was ideal and in a great, quiet, location.
Great location, weather fantastic and family enjoyed it. Beaches and things to do are plentiful around the area and the restaurants are good
This was a very nice stay in a lovely place. A tidy and quiet cottage, well equipped with every thing we needed. Heaters were on when we came in, to make it nice and comfortable. We were 4 adults and had plenty space. View on Loch Corrib is so still and peacefull. Oughterard village at 1,5 km with all shops needed and easy parking. Frank is really kind and welcoming. Everything went very easily. We even had a wee talk about farming as lamb's birth season was at its peak. May be a fishing session next time ? And Connemara countryside ... in one word (if possible) : gorgeous ! So many ...more
Excellent apartment, excellent customer service, great location I would highly recommend these student apartments to anyone. You know what you are getting from start to finish. What they are selling you is what you get and 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.
Absolutely love this apartment. It was the best place we stayed in Ireland. The apartment was exactly as show and was well equipped, it seemed like everything had been thought of. I felt like I was staying at a friend’s place. Rooms were spacious, bathrooms clean and spacious. Walking distance of pubs and stores and restaurants. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend this place to others.
The apartment has a gorgeous south facing terrace, really warm even when not sunny. The sofas make it really comfy. The apartment is really well appointed (good kitchen equipment, smart TV) and very comfortable - lovely beds and sofas. The hosts gave us really good advice on where to go and where to eat. Really looking forward to going back next year.
Spotlessly clean apartment nicely decorated and very modern with all appliances you could need and everything easy to use. Beautiful view from outside balcony with lovely seating area provided. Very helpful & attentive property contacts. Shops nearby by all extra needs. Clifden is a beautiful town with lots of places to eat & drink hopefully we’ll visit for longer next time. Thank you for a wonderful stay we loved it.
Beautiful cottage with a great wraparound deck. Very well equipped kitchen. You can swim at the end of the garden at high tide.
Our host Tom and his lovely wife were great , always there for us but never intrusive . there is a Picturesque boreen and shortcut from the property into Cleggan so you don't have to walk on the main road, RTE 1 on saorview tv box kept dropping out, the sattelite tv channels were fine after we found the remote control in a drawer. two suggested enhancements for the property would be a stair gate and a welcome pack
WE enjoyed this nice place. Thé view was beautiful. A nice place to visite Connemara. Very réactive owner.
Our second time staying here and we will be back again! A lovely cottage with everything you could need for a few days in Clifden. The bed is very comfortable and fantastic garden. Great location. Less than 10 minutes walk to Clifden.
(Really) spacious yet cozy property. The contact person was extremely friendly and helpful. The scenery was breathtaking. Very clean, the beds were comfortable.
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!
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 rented this summer home in Bog Bay, just outside Oughterard. Although difficult to find on your first attempt, the location is simply perfect, the premises are only 1/4 mile from Lough Corrib and you have full access to the lake (lake access alone is valuable). Our hosts were Frank and Mary O'Connor, who were warm and hospitable. The premises were pristine, fully stocked with the necessaries and slept five comfortably with room to spare. The interior looks recently redone. The location is a paradox - less than 1/2 mile from downtown Oughterard but very secluded. The only visitors were our ...more
Great help and friendliness from the hosts the Kings. Lovely time at a great location. Home was warm and comftorable.
An excellent apartment right in the centre of all activities in Clifden. It is also very quiet .The apartment has everything (and more) that you need for a very comfortable holiday. It also has a lovely sun balcony . We enjoyed every minute of our time here and it was very convenient for walks, sightseeing golf and boat trips in the surrounding area.
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
We had a really great time with six days of bright wall to wall sunshine and warmth. The best weather I have had in Connemara in my forty five years of holidaying there every year. The bungalow is extremely well appointed in every way. The only negative was that the beds could have been a lot more comfortable. We were there when the campsite was not busy which was very pleasant indeed.
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.
Unfortunately the week we’re visiting was week of a storm but the house was incredibly warm and comfortable. The views from the house are breathtaking! House is very spacious and and comfortable. Lovely places to visit nearby (15/30 min drive), Omney Island is fantastic (check tide times before going). The final 5 min drive to house is up a steep single track with blind bends, not for faint hearted drivers. Truly wonderful property.
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.
We enjoyed our stay at Ballynahinch. The apartment is confortable and well equipped. It is located in a really beautiful area.
The cottage owners were very friendly and welcoming and were very responsive to any questions we had. The cottage is in a quiet area very handy for Clifden and whilst remote it’s just a 30 minute walk to Balynahinch Castle where there are walks, fishing, a good restaurant and bar. The cottage is spacious and well equipped with all the appliances you need. The bedrooms are all a good size with comfortable beds, quality linen and bath towels. It’s a great place to relax and explore and is ideally situated on the Connemara Greenway which links to the various Clifden Cycle Hubs. We’ll be bac...more
Great cottage, perfectly positioned for the Connemara and surrounding areas. Clean, warm and comfy with everything that's required.
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.
House was great but it was the layout was not what we expected and made it difficult for my elderly mother especially the first step when you come into the house The lay out is not made clear from the photos.
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
I enjoyed our time in the cabin in clifden. We were with our son and everything was good. The cabin is really comfortable and well équipped. One comment : the adaptator for standard european plug is down
The apartment is ideally located in the town center of Clifden, a great little town. It is functional (several bathrooms, well equipped, parking spaces, etc.), bright, spacious and comfortable. We were 6 adults and 1 baby, we stayed 3 nights and could have stayed longer without a problem! The rental agency is very reactive when contacted. Thank you for this stay!
Lovely cottage with wood burner. Quite cluttered and clearly a loved family holiday home. Lovely outside space with animals for company!
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!
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 !
Contained everything we needed. Right in the middle of things. Double room a bit small. But 2 single rooms are great
We had a wonderful holiday in clifden and loved your house. My husband wanted to move in! I think though as a batchelor pad. A couple of niggles. The CO alarm in the hall kept going off and drove us mad, as there was no threat. So Bob removed it and it is on top of the washing machine. The television was a mystery.we watched. George Gently and Sherlock Holmes until Tuesday, after which it wouldn’t work. We used the upstairs shower as we both were unable to get into the bath! Overall it was a perfect holiday home for us and we’ll certainly be back Thankyou
The house is in the most spectacular location looking down on the mountains and lake in the valley. We spent very little time in the house, but it was comfortable and well equipped. I highly recommend it for a holiday for a large family. Our host was helpful and great with communication.
The house was perfect and very quiet , large view on a nice garden i recommend ! top sophie (France )
We had the luxury of spending three weeks on holiday in Cottage 360. We were three women and really appreciated the 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It was especially great that our landlady made the beds once a week and cleaned the bathrooms. Thank you very much, Caroline! The location of the house in the centre of Clifden is unbeatable! You can go shopping in a few steps and have the choice between various great restaurants and very good pubs. The house is built over four floors on the hillside. This means that the bedroom in the basement has no window. However, the dining area with the kit...more
Excellent location for a Connemara break away. The apartment was spotless and very well maintained. I will be recommending this location to friends and family.
Cottage bien situé avec tout le confort. Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour à clifden. Love Connemara Cottages est une agence très sérieuse.
We loved our stay here. The location is great just off the main Westport road but yet traffic noise never an issue as surrounded by beautiful Connemara scenery. The house itself is light and spacious perfect for our family with grandparents staying too. The house was well appointed only thing is I'd say we needed more towels especially with beaches so near. You are so close to Connemara national park here and Letterfrack has amazing foodie places. Another thing to note was beds were super comfy something hard to find in accommodation. We will be booking again as loved it.
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.
The apartment is right in the town with a main supermarket right next door. Yet it’s not busy and its own entrance at the back makes for a peaceful setting overlooking the water. The apartment itself is very spacious and the master room is super with a hotel standard bed. We never had an issue finding a space across the street to park (September). Our little dog loved the gated garden. We will be back!
Loved it. Everything you need, nothing you don’t. Location, view, the house itself. Two minutes to coral beach but surprisingly peaceful and private. Good heating, shower, kitchen. . Mary is the perfect host. We’ve been renting in the west for thirty years and this is the pick of the bunch. Dogs loved it too
all fine, bedside cabinet with table with lamp would have been acceptable (no subtle lighting from hanging shades). stained kettle spoiled wter for tea.
My husband, two daughters, and their children recently stayed at cottage 173 in Clifden. The weather was unkind so it was wonderful to be able to walk to the shops and supermarket and scurry back to the house when it became too inclement. The house was warm, the heater on a timer which we did not find necessary to adjust, and the rooms large and comfortable. We did not need a dryer but had we been spending more than a few days this might have been a problem considering the weather. The kitchen was well equipped except for the absence of a spatula (!) which is easily remedied. One note, it is d...more
We had a real good time in the small town of Roundstone. Rhe Cottage is also small, but very good equipped. Eating and warm water was a bit complicated to start, but at least it worked. We enjoyed the Pubs and restaurants and the wonderful surroundings. We would come again.
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.
Overall very good. This is our 3 rd year staying in this property. Could there be coat hooks on wall in kitchen as no where to hangs wet coats! Would be ideal if single room had another bed where drawers are as you are advertising it that it can sleep 6 but you can’t expect male/female teenagers to share a bed! A dishwasher would be great, don’t want to spend my holidays doing dishes for 6 people! WiFi or Sky would be a bonus.
Wonderful cottage that is ideal for a family break. Love the beach and surrounding area, with spectacular scenery, plenty to do and great restaurants.
Another great stay in this house. Comfortable and well equipped with all that we needed. Angela was brilliant as usual with any queries we had. We’re looking forward to staying again soon.
Pleasant, fully equipped, cottage in a good location with off street parking, approx 10 min walk to town centre. Close to the start of the scenic Sky Road loop and the main road to Connemara National Park, Kylemore Abbey, Killary Harbour, etc. Ideal for a couple or small family. (Mains water pressure was a bit low when we were there but that was a minor problem) Plenty of bars and restaurants in Clifden town, so no excuse to eat at home! Enjoyed our stay very much.
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.
we passed a very good holydays in this very comfortable cottage, fully equiped and close to the city. We'll hope return next year . Thanks a lot.
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.
Great location just a short walk from Cleggan. Large windows give great views whatever the weather.
It was a very nice accommodation (clean, well equiped) We were really happy. Sue Ellen support was very kind.
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.
This is the perfect getaway retreat for anyone looking to enjoy the wonders of the Connemara landscape. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped but the privacy and the surroundings are standout. We spent our time just sitting outside, swimming and paddle boarding from the sheltered private beach. And then admiring the stunning views from the huge windows. A real treat!
The location is spectacular with beautiful sea views. The mattresses need replacing and the water power from the shower is poor. But apart from that we had a fantastic week with our family. Lots to do in the locality if you like the outdoor life. I would definitely recommend a stay in this house.
We had a wonderful time with our little dog in this cozy cottage.We loved the landsape.Very good shower and heating.
We are a family of eleven who stayed at this property for a week in early July. We were blessed with fabulous weather. We were met by the very friendly and helpful Bernie. We had a great stay. The house was very well equipped with everything we required. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious with t.v in every room. There was probably too much furniture downstairs which made the house feel a bit cramped. There was plenty of parking out the back which was great as we had four cars, a boat and bicycles. There is a super bbq at the front with plenty of benches and chairs for outside dining. 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
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.
Definitely the best property I have stayed in by far, location is perfect so close to Clifden, Will definitely stay here again if available
We had a wonderful stay in your cottage from Sunday 9th August through to Friday 14th. The weather was absolutely beautiful, and the views spectacular, but there are a few things that I need to bring to your attention. First off, there is no information before booking, on the state of the road to the property. The first communication on the road itself is after payment. "Note: There is a long bumpy road down to the property so take care on approach." this Note does not cover how poor the final part of the road to the property is. I don't drive an 4x4 or an SUV and experienced the under-carr...more
Basic apartment. 3 bedrooms, kitchenette, sofas, TV and WiFi. All clean. It is functional. There is everything one needs in the kitchen, fridge and freezer and a washing machine and dryer. Useful to know - there is a cafetiere, vegetable peeler, frying pan and saucepans among other things in the kitchen. Disappointments for us - considering the price that we paid for the apartment which is not dissimilar to hotel prices, to them have to pay for the electric on top of that price is difficult to consider. That said, it cost us 10e for two nights for the electricity and we had used the dryer a...more
