We spent 5 nights in this charming, cosy cottage. The ‘cooks’ kitchen was especially well-equipped with all the pots, pans and gizmos. Oh joy to find not one, but several knives capable of cutting a vegetable in a holiday let! Freshly painted in gorgeous colours and tastefully furnished (scandi vintage?). I would have happily moved in and stayed for longer but it really felt like someone’s own home, rather than a holiday let - so I couldn’t. Piles of games, puzzles and books for kids and adults. Lovely bedrooms, top knotch bed linen and towels. For us, a mattress topper would have made all the difference - we might drive over another time and bring our own. The garden, with that rock, a gem of a view down to the sea, sheltered with lush vegetation, mountain views to the rear - incredible. Safe, tucked away, stole my heart.

So delighted we found this property, where we came together and enjoyed a wonderful Christmas. The location is stunning - in all weathers - and the house itself was perfectly set up for us. Slight issue with the heating was resolved quickly and Roseanne was also so helpful and responsive. We'd love to return!

Tigh Bhrendain is located amidst outstanding scenery and only a short walk to some of the most beautiful beaches in Connemara. Although nestling in among rock and shrubbery the cottage still has a distant sea view. It was clean and comfortable and Roseanne, the housekeeper, was very friendly and helpful. I have stayed here twice and am already planning my return to this little oasis of peace and tranquility.

This is obviously a much loved family holiday home, and it is a beautiful location between 2 super beaches. The kitchen and living area is comfortable and well equipped and there are lovely ‘extras’ like logs for the stove, board games and fishing rods. It technically sleeps 8 but realistically it probably only works for a max of 4 adults with some children - there is only one shower and no bath, and there are not enough chairs to seat 8 people.
