We can't wait to return with our children. It is a perfect getaway for a family of 3 or 4\. The house had all the amenities to cook. House was clean and better than advertised. ##### Jessica M.

Beautifully prepared and perfect for a quiet week. The space is exactly as described with a newer kitchen. It is a little further for points of interest we wanted but it forced us to visit some areas that we would not have otherwise done. Connemara is with easy reach but it is a full day trip out to Clifdon and the Atlantic Way so plan accordingly. Galway is 30 minutes. Cliffs Mohar 90 mins each way so we came back to Dublin via the cliffs and Limerick. We would recommend this location. The host was always quick to respond to messages and very helpful. Five Stars easily. ##### sam s. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### lorraine d. 24 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming cottage in beautiful setting This tiny cottage offered a cozy retreat for two of us at the end of long days touring around the Galway area. The beds were comfy, the evenings in front of the fire were great and the modern kitchen offered everything we needed. I wouldn’t recommend the cottage for any more than two adults and maybe a young child though. Although 30 minutes away from Galway, the drive to and from was through narrow lanes and was an adventure. Across the road at the main estate we watched horses in the pasture, and we were surrounded by really beautiful trees. If you’re looking to be in the midst of activity with walkable pubs, this wouldn't be your place. Make sure to do a day trip to the Cliffs of Mohr and take the Doolin ferry ride to see them from the sea. Finola was a very responsive host, making sure we were comfortable. ##### lorraine d.
