Beautiful Location!

Views are fantastic. The house is comfortable and neat as a pin. Located across from ocean,but access is down the road. Lake view behind the house is serene, but also have to drive for access. Market and pub a short drive away. Great leaping off point for Connemara activities.

Paradise

We loved our stay in Callow which is the best location in Connemara. The information provided by the hosts was great and helped us plan our walks and activities every day. The local beach is beautiful and quiet and great for a swim. At low tide you can walk to the island and explore which the kids loved. The mountain & sea views from every part of the house are spectacular and there are nice seating areas dotted all over the gardens to enjoy.

The Best

This was just a marvelous place to stay. The house was a great location and equipped with you need. All the information we received was spot on accurate. We had great Irish weather - sunny some days, windy and rainy others. The School House was like a safe harbor. Plenty to do in the area - hiking, shopping, great food at local restaurants, convenient grocery shopping. Thanks to the owners. A great memory.

Amazing!

We had such a lovely stay at Calla School, the house was so clean and stocked with everything we could possibly need. We fell in love with this house and Connemara. We have never felt so comfortable in a house rental, it felt like our home away from home. Thank you so much Gabrielle for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Magic venue

The property was all I expected and much more. The views were wonderful on every side of the house, and thoughtful seating areas abound outside. Details about the house and it’s environs are carefully put together by the Owners and the magic beach just a ten minute walk away was one of my favorite spots in the area. I loved being there.

Family holiday in Connemara

Great house and location for our family of four (2 teenage boys). The house is gorgeous, best rental we've ever stayed in. It has everything you'll need and is very comfortable. Beautiful beaches all along the nearby coastline. We swam every day, mostly at Calla beach, only 10 minute walk away. Our boys enjoyed using the bicycles to cycle to the shop in nearby Ballyconneely. Highly recommend Keoghs bar/restaurant in Ballyconneely where you will find great food, welcoming staff and a relaxed atmosphere. We fell in love with Connemara and will definitely be back xx ❀

Wonderful time in Calla School house

From the moment we stepped into the property we fell in love. Impeccably clean, spacious and views out every window. Love all the decorations that the owners have placed around the house. Everything you need or can think of is in the house it all ran very smoothly! The location beside the beach was just wonderful, our children had so much fun exploring the island and swimming in the Crystal clear sea. Look forward to coming back again! Thank you!

Comfortable and characterful

Sunrises over a lake, sunsets over the sea, dark quiet nights. Comfortable beds, good heating, well-equipped kitchen (the dishwasher was replaced during our stay). Lovely calm decor, seashore finds everywhere around the place, conservatory and secluded garden out back One quirk to be aware of is that the TV is internet only, no terrestrial or satellite. If you have apps on your phone you can 'mirror' to it, which is what we did; it's not hard to set up, just be prepared. And the plumbing is no flushing of paper, so pretend you're on a holiday in the Mediterranean countries where that is standard, the weather might even oblige! We had some gorgeous days even at the end of September. Communication was great throughout.

Wonderful stay

We had a great time staying at the Calla School House. It's a very comfortable and spacious home away from home. The views are fantastic; both during the day and during the evening. We were able to relax properly and that is what a holiday is about for us. We walked to Calla beach and visited quite a few other local beaches, rock pooling and we did some great walks. We would love to visit again sometime in the summer; although the weather was actually very good. It did rain, but mostly in the evenings and during the nights. A couple of showers but lots of sunshine as well. Unfortunately, our son left his phone at the house when we left.. However, Gabriele and Klaudia were so good about this. They directly offered to send it back to our home in England. Their communication was excellent throughout. I can recommend Calla School House wholeheartedly!

Außergewöhnliches Haus am Wild Atlantic Way

Wir gingen von Fenster zu Fenster-immer neue Blicke auf die wunderbare Umgebung-in typischen Farben Connemaras–und das aus einem Haus, welches voller Liebe gestaltet und voller Vertrauen best-ausgestattet von den Vermietern Gabriele und Hans ĂŒberlassen ist.Jedes Detail spricht von Ihrer Geschichte mit dem Haus und der Region.Liebevoll aus einer alten Schule mit Herz und Mut umgestaltet. Das lockt sogar alte SchĂŒler an.Viele kleine Botschaften im ganzen Haus helfen mit Technik und UmstĂ€nden gut zurechtzukommen.Selbst Regensachen und Gummistiefel stehen bereit,falls es typisch irisch wird. Eine GĂ€stemappe gibt Tips fĂŒr AusflĂŒge und ein GĂ€stebuch zeugt von all dem GlĂŒck, welches dieses Haus gebracht hat. Wie schön,dass auch die Gastgeber immer wieder darin schreiben.Leben mit den Gezeiten. Wir erkundeten die direkt benachbarte Insel,die nur bei Ebbe erreichbar ist. Barfuß durchs Watt und zwischen Schafen durchs Gras zum Baden.Die Seehunde, die wir hörten, konnten wir leider nicht sehen.Strand-ReitenSand-/KorallenstrĂ€nde in der NĂ€he des Hauses.Clifden lohnenswert,Skyroad mit sagenhaften Ausblicken.Loop-Wanderung durchs Moor.Roundstone, bezaubernde Töpferei.Wir konnten es nie erwarten,wieder ins zweite Zuhause nach Calla zu kommen,Torfeuer -GemĂŒtlichkeit-Hoffnung auf neuen Sonnenaufgang im Wintergarte.Dieser Ort und dieses Land spenden jedem,was er braucht:Kraft, Entspannung oder Trost-von allen bisher bereisten FerienhĂ€usern Irlands zieht es uns hierher am meisten zurĂŒck- Danke

Begeisterung

Unsere erste Reise nach Irland. Wir verbrachten eine wunderbare und sehr bereichernde Woche in diesem aussergewöhnlich schönen Haus sowie der Umgebung von Connemara. Wir sind begeistert! Es fehlte uns an nichts, eher in diesem Zusammenhang, fehlt uns Calla seit unserer Abreise. Connemara ist unfassbar schön und verewigt sich im Herzen des Besuchers. Ist das Klima auch rauh,findet sich auch der Sonnemensch schnell zurecht. Die Menschen sind freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sucht man Ruhe, ist man hier genau richtig. Leben und Trubel finden sich in den liebenswerten StÀdten Clifden und Galway. Wir waren Neulinge, hatten jedoch keinerlei Schwierigkeiten uns zurecht zu finden. Wir freuen uns einfach auf den nÀchsten Besuch in Calla, Old School House! Bis dahin, Claudia&Bernd
