Our stay was everything we could have wanted. We felt immediately at home in the cottage. The location made it easy for us to take day trips to Galway and Kylemore Abbey, but simply driving through the glorious Connemara countryside was the highlight of our days.

Beautiful base for a quiet stay, close to excellent cafe. Great base for exploring the coast.

So pleased to have found this place in a beautiful area of Ireland. It was a very peaceful location and perfect for exploring the local area. We used the owner recommendations for food and places to visit and were never disappointed.
5.0
We had such a lovely time! It was so nice to be in the country. Just a short walk to the water. The peace and quite was just what we waltzed. But still close enough to see everything we wanted to see. I especially LOVED their dog! Owners were so nice. We truly truly loved our stay!
5.0
The house was the best base we could have to explore this beautiful part of Ireland. It is very well and tastefully equipped with everything you could possibly need. An extra plus for the kids was the outside trampolin and most of all the very friendly and playful dog. Thanks a lot to Janet and Michael for the warm welcome and helpful tipps!
5.0
Very nice cottage, the owners are very friendly, it's calm and the sea is only a couple of minutes away. The whole region is beautiful. A place where we might come back one day. Thank you Janet and Michael for your help and also the useful information you sent prior arrival.

Don’t pass up on the chance to stay here. It has all the comforts or home and is amazingly situated within a stunning location. Janet and Michael are great hosts and are very helpful and responsive to any questions about the property and area.

The cottage was a sanctuary of peace while touring the west of Ireland. Great access to the coast, golf, and local pubs. Still accessible to Galway City for a day trip. Hosts were spectacular! If the weather is fine ask about the bog!

Lovely clean, comfortable property.

Connemara experience that was perfect! Beautiful lodging, excellent hosts and extensive recommendations for the area. Took Killary fjords boat trip and enjoyed lunch at the Misunderstood Heron. The local tiny thatched pub with its local publican owner was truly a treasure. The local area was especially unique and a wonderful introduction for our Ireland travels. Our highest recommendations!

We had a wonderful time! The renovation of the barn was done beautifully with spacious bedrooms and living space. It was more than enough room and with all the amenities you need for your stay. Janet is a fantastic host; very responsive and welcoming and helpful. She provides extensive info about the barn and the area and things to do-it was a really lovely and enjoyable stay 🙂
5.0
The accommodation is an old cow barn that has been converted into living quarters. Wow, they did an amazing job on it. It’s an exceptionally nice place to stay. And it comes equipped with a Border Collie for entertainment.
The kindness and thoughtfulness of the owner is great, too. She had cake ready for us when we arrived.
We highly recommend Teach na mBo for a base to explore Connemara.

This property is very well refurbished to accommodate four people. The kitchen is well stocked with good cooking equipment for those who prefer to eat in. The beds are very comfortable. There are two ensuite bathrooms with showers that work very well. The property is in a great location to explore West and North Connemara. It is also within easy reach of Spiddal,
Barna and Galway City. We were greeted warmly by our host Janet. She gave us good suggestions about local beaches where we could swim during our trip.
5.0
We loved it. The location was great for solitude, yet within driving distance to some amazing places. Walking down to the water during sunset was memorable. The house was excellent.

A really lovely stay in a converted barn/cow shed. Janet and Michael were really helpful when we needed them, and it was a great base for either East to Galway city and beyond or north to the Connemara hills on the Atlantic coast. Super little beach just 20 mins walk down the road too. Would recommend.
5.0
Clean, quiet, really nicely kitted out. Trampoline an added bonus! The 20 minute walk down to the beach was lovely but could only persuade the teenagers to do it once!

Perfect place to relax
We had a great visit here. Beautiful location and wonderful home for a small family to share. Loved having the dog around as well. Nice easy drive to Galway and to Cliffs of Moher. Janet responded very quickly to any questions. Thanks for great stay!

Our stay at Teach na mBo
Our first trip to Ireland and this was a great base for exploring Connemara, Galway and the Aran Islands. Janet recommended some walks and trips - in particular walks on Gorumna, Omer Island and a trip over to Inis Oirr, the smallest of the Aran Islands. Do try Kai restaurant in Galway (if you can book) - Janet suggested taking the bus in from Costcutter (great idea) and finally if you drive north to Clifden, the sky road is a must and carry on to Kylemore Abbey and stop for lunch at the Misunderstood Heron overlooking Killary Fjord.

Lovely place with much space and cozy feeling! Very comfortable. It's only a short walk away from the Ocean. By car (35min) places like Galway can be reached. It's close to the ports that bring one to the Arran Islands. We had a lovely stay and discovered Connemara, Galway and the Arran Island (won't tell you which one, though ;))

We had a most excellent stay! Our host are so hospitable and accommodating – they wanted to make sure everything was perfect for us. The cottage is well appointed and quite lovely. Perfect location – not too close to Galway but close enough to get where you want to go. The cottage was a lovely blend of history with modern conveniences.

We absolutely loved this quiet gem of a property nestled about 35 minutes west of Galway! Cozy and quaint for a small group. Perfect location for our adventures out to Connemara, Cliffs of Moher, and Cork. The ferry to the Aran Islands was also about an 8 minute drive. We also enjoyed the quiet stroll down the road to the beach where we found some small seashells. Costcutter grocers was perfect for us to shop for our food and necessities. We will definitely be venturing back to this property and location!
