The Space:
Two Cottages, One Unforgettable Connemara Escape

Welcome to Paddy Carroll's Cottages, a beautiful coastal retreat in one of Connemara's most desirable locations.

Set amid spectacular Atlantic scenery, two lovingly restored traditional cottages combine Irish character with comfortable, contemporary living. Sleeping 8 guests across 2 independent homes, this is somewhere to come together, unwind and experience the Wild Atlantic Way at your own pace.

Perfect for multigenerational families, couples travelling together or a girls' weekend away, the layout offers something special: time together with the luxury of having your own space.

Outdoor Living with Spectacular Views

One of Paddy Carroll's most exceptional features is its choice of outdoor spaces.

Double doors open from the Main Cottage onto a private patio with comfortable outdoor dining furniture and a BBQ area, perfect for leisurely lunches and evenings under the Atlantic sky.

A few steps lead to a separate elevated, built-in seating and dining area, where panoramic views stretch across the coastline, surrounding lakes and majestic Twelve Bens mountains.
Imagine morning coffee overlooking the landscape, a glass of wine as the sun sets or simply sitting back and enjoying the peace of this extraordinary setting.

The detached Stone Cottage also enjoys its own patio overlooking the lake, providing a lovely private space for two.

A Coastal Escape for Every Season

Paddy Carroll's is just as inviting in autumn and winter as it is during the summer months. After a windswept beach walk or a day exploring Connemara, return to the Main Cottage, light the open fire and settle into the comfortable sofas for a cosy evening together.

Whether it's a weekend catching up with friends, a relaxed girls' getaway, a family celebration or a peaceful winter escape, this is a home designed for memorable stays throughout the year.
