What a fabulous place.
On the edge of the ocean, lovely beach. A place to escape to. Here peace comes dropping slow.

We enjoyed a very happy stay at this beautiful cottage. Mary and Patrick were most kind and courteous hosts and made everything easy. Thank you!

Stunning location! The property is well equipped, clean and comfortable but not luxurious; scheduling bathrooms because of limited power to electric shower heaters was amusing. The private beach is a novelty but the approach lane is particularly rough for a vehicle with less than average ground clearance. The location on a sunny day is unbeatable, we'd return for that.

What an incredible location, I went to paint and just had to open the door to see the most amazing views. We had a wonderful week in this delightful cottage, not to mention our private beach.

This place was exactly what we wanted. Gorgeous location and views. Beach down the road is very walkable. Lots to see in Connemara. Only two of us, but there was lot of room for more. Living room had stellar views and was quite cozy. Would definitely stay here again.

Cottage 101 Moyard is located at the meeting point of sea, sky, and the steep hills of Connemara. Staying there is an extraordinary experience.
We drank morning coffee while sheep grazed in the fields around the house; we built a rock cairn above the sandy crescent of its private beach as a fishing boat passed; and we cooked ourselves a lavish holiday dinner in its efficient kitchen.
Bedrooms and bathrooms are cottage-sized and comfortable. The gravel road was no problem for our rented Opel. We were there in late December, and it was lovely to sit in front of the crackling fireplace as a cold rain or hail tapped against the windows. And when the sun came back, the old stone out-buildings shone photogenically.
There are dozens of magical tourist destinations within a short drive, including the mountain hikes of Connemara National Park, Kylemore Abbey, a megalithic stone tomb, ocean-facing cliffs, quaint harbors and cute Connemara towns, the sites of the landing place of the first trans-Atlantic flight and first trans-Atlantic telegraph station, craft shops, astounding vistas, and of course great food, drink, and friendly Irish craic.
We felt lucky indeed for the experience!

The house is down a long rural farm lane, must have been close to a kilometer long. We had difficulties on arrival as our car was so laden down, with the packed roof box and all that we were catching the grassy centre of the lane too much, so myself and the dogs and kids walked the rest. Was grand tho as we needed to stretch our legs at that stage.
The views at the house are just stunning!! I took so many photos of the beautiful mountains.
We were so delighted to to have been able to go on hols as a whole family too, us and our dogs, my parents and their dogs too! It's so hard to get a holiday house that allows more than two dogs and we were do thankful to have found this house.
The house was very well kitted out with lots of accessories needed. We did struggle with the oven as we didn't understand the symbols on it, we should have googled it, but we muddled thru.
There is a working farm shed right behind the house, so you have to supervise the dogs outside at all time, as they can get access to it.
The private beach is stoney at high tide, but there's a fab expanse of sand when the tide goes out, which I can imagine would be just perfect in warm weather. And I there is a round stone beach too, a couple of kilometres walk down the road from the end of the lane, called Ross beach, its on Google maps. There is a tiny parking area and if you walk all the way to the end of the grass track, there's a metal viewing bench and a bit of sand at low tide we were able to let the dogs run on as it was enclosed. People had arrived to go sea swimming the day we were there as the water was lovely calm and sheltered there.
Glassilaun beach and Omey Island beach are both decently close and are amazing big beaches for your afternoon walks, or your summer days out.
The shops are about 20 mins away. Letterfrack has really decent little supermarket, I'd say only a tiny bit smaller than the Supevalu in Clifden, and just as well stocked.
And of course Clifden has Lidl and Aldi too.
In Clifden is one of my favourite places in the whole of the West - Walshes Bakery!! Their coffee cream slices were so fresh and delicious and their bottom baked bread is to die for and I dream about it all year long!!

I hesitate to write this review - I don't want the secret to get out! The setting of this lovely and cozy and well-equipped cottage is nothing short of spectacular. I you are looking for a getaway where you can enjoy the peace, majesty, and tranquility of Connemara while only being 20 minutes from all the necessary and lovely amenities of Clifden, this is the place. The grounds are well-maintained and the beach is basically all to yourself. The house is well appointed with comfortable sofas and chairs, a perfect-sized kitchen, and en-suites for 2 of the 3 bedrooms. There's a lot of history in the place, and you can feel it along with the beauty of the sea and inspiration of the mountains in the distance.

If you are looking for the perfect getaway far off the beaten paths and the buzz of cities like Galway or Clifden, then you found it. Only a few minutes outside of Letterfrack, after leaving the paved roads, crossing through a gate, you arrive at a secluded location with stunning views to the east, surrounded by water from multiple sides. The cottage is not the star of this ensemble, yet clean and cozy. It is well equipped and has a very nice living room with large windows to soak in even the last views at sunset. But the real star is the private beach. It is perfectly suited for relaxing as well as for kids who will love the soft sand on the beach as well as the big meadow around the cottage...

You wont find a better location!
This little haven is just out of this world. If you want to get away from it all look no further. The service from Love Connemara Cottages was fantastic and the cottage owners are such lovely people, nothing was any trouble...not that we had to trouble them for anything but if we did we knew that it would be sorted. We will be back again :-) Thank you, Siobhan & Mick

A hidden gem!
We absolutely loved our stay here. The cottage is a hidden gem with outstanding views.
If you are looking for tranquility, this is your place.
The cottage itself had everything we needed and was spotless.
The private beach was the icing on the cake. Cannot wait to return!

Tranquil escape
The location of the place is superb, small and safe private beach, surrounded by wild and beautiful Connemara countryside. The cottage itself is basic, but that is part of the charm. Kitchen was well equipped, sitting room cosy, plenty of space in the bedrooms. Mattresses were hard and you could feel the springs, so a mattress toppers could easily solve this issue, a good night sleep is VITAL for relaxing and this is reflected in value for money score. Also the cottage was quite damp in general, but that is often a natural feature in old buildings by the sea. Overall we had amazing break and most definitely would like to return.

This place is a hidden gem......this is our second visit and it won't be our last. Not much has been done to the house since I first stayed in 2008 so it could do with a bit of updating, especially in the kitchen. The beds are comfy, the towels are white and fluffy and the heating works well. The WIFI is excellent. The open fire really makes this house cosy as is much needed due to the ever changing weather conditions in Ireland! All in all I would highly recommend Moyard 101 and our little doggies loved it too!

Magnificent location
One of the most beautiful locations I have stayed in, we had a great holiday. Grandchildren loved the beach for sandcastle building before bedtime. The house is basic but with spectacular views and it has everything needed on holidays. Beds were comfortable and wifi was very good. Surrounded by sea and mountains. Perfect. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic location away from it all. Scenery is second to none and one would never get tired of just sitting by the fire looking out . Great location to explore Clifden and Galway. Really enjoyed staying here and will return .

Another great holiday!
The superb location of the cottage and the beautiful surroundings yet again made our stay most enjoyable. The fact that we were in quarantine meant we scarcely ventured outside the cottage grounds, but we didn't really need to!. In spite of some inclement weather we were very cosy and comfortable, and made the best of the warmth and sunshine we did have on the beach and in the water. Thank-you to Patrick for looking after us.

It’s all about the location
Stunning views and your own beach make this the most amazing place. It is in a very rural location on a farm - no shops or pubs for 6km. Perfect for reflection- you have water on 3 sides, a view of the 12 bens, Tully mountain and Ballinakill harbour. There’s an ever changing light show from sunrise to sunset. Lots of seabirds and clear skies for star gazing (weather permitting) The house is functional - don’t expect luxury- but it’s got all you need.

Location, location, location
This cottage is in the most incredible location in Connemara. The accommodation is a little tired and in need of updating but the views make up for it. The photos don't show the farm buildings beside the cottage but we only saw the farmer/owner a couple of times during our stay. Access to the accommodation is down a long bump dirt track which means that you won't see many people on the beach located right beside the property.

Wonderful Christmas stay
Absolutely loved our stay at the cottage. We are a family of four and we had 2 small dogs with us and we all were delighted with the spectacular location, facilities and comfort. Highly recommed this cottage, and our host Mary and Patrick were extremely helpful also as we had left a bag behind and Mary will be posting it to me. Highly recommend a stay here for tranquility, peace and relaxation and you also have the convenience of a large town in Clifden which is only 15 minutes away with lots of shops for provisions and also the Inisboffin Island ferry is only 10 minutes away in Cleggan.

The most beautiful place we have stayed!
We could not believe how perfect the location was of the cottage, we could not have asked for anything more perfect for our family and dogs. The cottage was spacious and comfortable, with everything we needed, although we wanted to spend most of the time on the beach on the doorstep!
Communication and welcome from the caretaker was very helpful and friendly.
Highly recommended.

I’ll be back to Ross Oint Cottage. It’s all about the Location for me. A private beach , perfect.
I have a habit of browsing the Internet looking for well located Cottages near the Sea and Mountains. Ross Point was an incredible choice for me this year. I stayed 2 weeks and will return as there are so many beautiful hill walks and beaches to explore. The cottage compares well with others I have stayed in. It has 3 toilets and bathrooms so when friends and family joined me we all had our privacy. The kitchen is well equipped and the fuel for the open fire is provided. Electricity is extra which is a pity as there’s no gas cooker either. I love exploring Ireland and I didn’t go far from the cottage as there’s so much to see nearby. Briefly, Visit Inishbofin, climb Tully, walk Cleggan Head , visit the Drowned Forest, drive to Silver Strand in the North, walk Killary Harbour Famine path, eat Fish and Chowder wherever you go. Take Photos from Diamond Hill (amazing).

A little piece of heaven - best kept secret
Put away your worries and your techno stuff and stay still in this magical place. It’s not luxurious but it cannot be beaten for views and tranquility. Watch the oyster catchers, the herons, gulls, seal, fish and occasional passing traffic - boats on Ballinakill harbour from the front garden. You’re own beach at low tide. Watch the light show on the mountains - the canvas ever changing with the weather especially at sunset! And it does rain so be prepared- bring waterproofs. I keep going back!

Die Lage ist einmalig schön, unglaublich ruhig, Enstspannung pur!
Es entsprach unseren Erwartungen!
Der Vermieter ist sehr nett, alles war wie beschrieben.
Da Haus ist alt, und man sollte nicht so genau in die Ecken schauen. Da Aufheizen im Bad ist etwas aufwendig und dauert, vieles ist alt und dringend überholungsbedürftig, wie auch die nasse Wand in der Mitte des Gebäudes. Der Kamin ist mehr Deko, und qualmt heftig, dafür heizt er nicht, allerdings funktionieren Die E-Heizkörper prima, und die Stromkosten sind überschaubar. Die Fahrräder hatten platte Reifen und sind auch sonst in sehr schlechtem Zustand, gleiches gilt für die Angeln. Man muß die Ansprüche schon zurückschrauben, bekommt dafür aber eine atemberaubende Landschaft, unglaublich nette Menschen, Sehenswürdigkeiten und sensationelles Essen( Clifton).

Ross Point Cottage lovely location and views
As regular returners to Ross Point cottage we love its location and situation, views and remoteness.
Owners Patrick and Mary are incredibly kind, helpful, and friendly.
We don't expect or need luxury, but do occasionally become frustrated by malfunction of showers for example.
We respectfully suggest that advertised Sky TV is no longer available( not that we watched Tv at all during our stay) and therefore should be removed from information supplied.
