A unique place to relax and enjoy. This was our the 3rd stay and we can only repeat our description from June 2023. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and watched the seals and the changing weather from the upper floor. It was like coming home for us now. A special thanks to the owners. We'll be back!

The view from the windows was glorious, we drove all over Connemara and didn't find a better view than the one from the cottage. Wildlife watching and swimming direct from the back door! We had a wonderful holiday. Thank you!

Excellent emplacement. Hôtes présents mais très discrets. La vue depuis le salon et la chambre est magnifique.
