Spectacular

If stunning views, trail walking and a peaceful paradise are what you are looking for this it. Excellent place to breathe deep and decompress while still visiting whatever sites you may want too. We lacked for nothing during our stay, extremely well equipped and Eileen provided great details to make our stay even better than expected.

Nice holiday days in Connemara

We spent a few nights as a family in Eileen's cosy holiday home. Eileen was very easy to reach and welcomed us warmly. The cottage is richly equipped with everything you need. The location is great for various excursions in Connemara and County Galway. We would book the holiday home again at any time if we are in the area.

This was our 3rd stay in the house. Lucky that the time was free sadly only 1 week. Everything was great and fully equipped. We could relax and enjoy the great view. Eileen is a great host. Will try to come again if there is a free spot in the calendar.

Excellent place to relax and enjoy the west coast of Ireland

After our pervious week in 2022, we were delighted to return to Eileen's rental house. We were warmly welcomed, and then left to settle in. We appreciated Eileen contacting her "fish man" who came by and we purchased fresh scallops, hake and a fish new to us. We enjoyed the remoteness and the comfort of the house, settling in the big chairs to read and watch the changing views of the bay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return.
