Stayed here for a week this June. House was clean and check in was a breeze. Both bathrooms upstairs are en-suite with a half bath on the main level. There is a drying press in the upstairs hallway closet (cedar shelving next to the hot water heater). Horses will come up to the fence line everyday at the same time to beg for treats. We caved and sliced up some apples for them. In addition, we did run across some escape artist sheep on the road leading up to the driveway. They will move. This house pretty much looks like a postcard of an Irish cottage. Would stay here again. The host is Mary responds quickly to any questions.

Absolutely incredible property with everything you need and more. Stunning views and a peaceful location. Mary was an excellent host.

Lovely view from the house, which was warm and comfortable. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals and was quite cozy. We spent most of our evenings in this room. The house is down a 1.5 km tiny road, but we only saw 2 other cars during the 4 days we were there. We saw sheep, deer, hares, and there is a friendly horse in a paddock next to the house. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. Don’t bother with the clothes dryer. The drying room is awesome. I wish we had these in the US. The location makes it a good base to explore Connemara.

It truly was a gem for us. The home was bright, airy, and spotless. The kitchen was so well-organized that we never had to wonder where anything was. We spent most of our indoor time in the kitchen and dining area — the large table was perfect for meals, games, and activities.Mary was exceptionally responsive and quickly sorted out the minor issues we faced upon arrival (we came during Storm Amy, so there were a few temporary electricity and water disruptions). The beds and linens were clean and comfortable, ensuring a good night’s rest.The location is beautifully secluded, with dark skies at night — perfect for stargazing. The surroundings were truly picturesque; we only wished the weather had allowed us to enjoy dinner outdoors facing the lake.We’d definitely love to return if we visit the country again.
