Spectacular Ocean & Island Views. Close To Beach & Pubs. Carnmore is a four bedroom, one and a half bathroom Irish cottage located in the Connemara district of Galway. It is on the Wild Atlantic Way and is located on 16 acres of typically rugged West Galway farmland. Nestled in the Twelve Bens mountain range and overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Carnmore is the most relaxing holiday spot one can dream of. Carnmore offers guests the opportunity for gentle hill walking or more challenging mountain climbing, fishing for salmon in local streams, and swimming at the nearby beach. Other recreational options include shopping in the nearby towns of Westport and Clifden or golfing on the challenging links of Connemara Golf Club. Carnmore was designed as a place to relax. We strongly encourage you to enjoy a cozy fire, read the hundreds of books at Carnmore, share stories about the day or tell tales of the legends of Connemara ... or just relax and soak in the spectacular Connemara views, like the view from the sitting room. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property - Note from host: non smoking only ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital - Near the ocean ### Things to do - Golf - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Microwave, oven, dishwasher, toaster](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99290000/99285300/99285202/2627dbfc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### CLIFFTOP HAVEN, family friendly in Tully, County Galway Renvyle Peninsula - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=99285202&PinnedHotelID=99285202&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/64000000/63090000/63086200/63086114/c1c7bd28.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful location with mountains & sea views Louisburg - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=63086114&PinnedHotelID=63086114&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Cottage | Private kitchen | Dishwasher, cookware/dishes/utensils](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/45000000/44820000/44818100/44818090/90fd6a21.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Clifftop Haven Renvyle - Kitchen - Parking included - Free WiFi - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=44818090&PinnedHotelID=44818090&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99290000/99285800/99285795/fe7c024b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### SEA VIEW HOUSE, family friendly in Tully, County Galway Renvyle - Washer - Microwave 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=99285795&PinnedHotelID=99285795&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39870000/39866600/39866585/ad3e5b4c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cottage 339 - Renvyle - sleeps 9 guests in 4 bedrooms Unknown - Kitchen - Washer - Parking available - Microwave 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=39866585&PinnedHotelID=39866585&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 25 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome Note from host: Children welcome ### Events No events allowed Parties not allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted Non smoking only ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).

We have been lucky enough to travel far and wide to some beautiful places, but this vacation home is by far the best. The hospitality is great, the views are incredible and the accommodation is very comfortable. This house is obviously loved and it shows. We love it too and so will you! ##### Dana V. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerry H. 11 Jun 2018 #### Lovely Irish Cottage with incredible views! My husband and I traveled to Ireland with our three adult sons. Carnmore accomodated the five of us beautifully. The cottage was neat and tidy and offered incredible views of the ocean. Connemara was a perfect location to take day trips. I would highly recommend staying at this lovely Irish cottage and hope someday to return! ##### Kerry H.

If you stay here, you can do what you want to do and then come home for the best views while simply relaxing! It was AMAZING and a tremendous blessing to wake up each morning to a panorama unrivaled by anything else we encountered during our travels. With the long days in late May, we were able to hike, plus just sit and gaze at the view or read. It never rained while we were there, but if it had, we would have been happy to amuse ourselves with the great assortment of books and board games. The photos are representative of the current state of the property. John obviously loves sharing his home and his love for the area; communication was very easy and access to the house on arrival was flawless. A+ for hospitality! The house is conveniently located for everything we needed or wanted. It was great to have a separate washer and dryer and a coffee maker (yay)! Data signal is great if you have to connect, but you'll never regret using the opportunity to connect with your family instead. It is a 5 minute drive to Kings cafe if you need wifi - great soup, sandwiches and especially the cake! Really good food at Paddy Coynes in Tully Cross. ##### Mary W.

Stunning location. Short walk to beach. Also plenty of beaches to choose from within a short drive of property. We visited with family and were lucky enough to get some great weather while we were there. The views from the property itself are just fabulous. There is some nice little walks up behind the house and down towards the ocean as well. Our kids really enjoyed the whole adventure of it. So much to do in the area if you want to but also a great place to do nothing and just enjoy where you are. A real gem. Thank you! ##### Joanne D.

John Connelly is a wonderful host and guide to Connemara. He is very helpful, kind, caring, fast to response and highly intelligent. The house has a fantastic view on the bay, a jagged coast line with numerous islands. We enjoyed the view from the windows in the morning, day, evening and even night time. It is a very nice house with a cozy fireplace, many books and very clean and comfortable beds. There is so much to do in Connemara, that your stay always will be full of activities. We regret only one thing - that we didn't plan to stay here longer! ##### Armen K.
