Great Stay
Had a great time at the house. Hosts were attentive to needs and we had a very comfortable stay. Lots of room to move around and plenty to see in the area.

Highly Recommended for families or smaller groups
I had a wonderful stay in this cottage. The cottage has all you need like home from home. It is located just a few metres from the sea with the Connemara mountains in the distance. Its idea for exploring the rugged coast, the mountains, the fjord and lochs. With many walks to enjoy. There is a nearby pub that serves great food. John and Mairead are super hosts.John keeps a distant but watchful eye and would be there to help should the need arise. I would recommend for families or smaller group. I spent a month there and was sad to leave. Thank you John it was a pleasure to have met you and to stay at your wonderful cottage.

A perfect place to stay
The home was just as described and the owners are absolutely delightful and helpful. The location is beautiful with easy access to so many points of interest. I can’t recommend this home enough. Our only complaint was not being able to stay longer.

Great location
The house is well situated for exploring the area. You've got the mountains of Connemara, the attractive coastline with many beaches, the Aran Islands off the coast reachable by ferry, the city of Galway, and further afield many other places to visit. The hosts are very helpful and provide everything that's needed in the house. All one needs is fine weather which we mostly had. Highly recommended.

Bertraugboy Bay Panoramas
The water views overlooking the bay & the12 Bens were stunning as they changed throughout the day--drizzle, wreathed clouds, and rainbows all at once. Overwhelming beauty. Conamara offers so many opportunities for adventuring: hiking, mountain climbing, sight-seeing, and eating (Killary Harbor mussels, & seafood chowders are a must). The 5-bedroom 3-bath house handled our flow of guests perfectly. Our hosts were generous and welcoming to a fault and were there when we needed them. The best 6-week vacation we have ever had over 30 years! The hosts were over-the-top solicitous.

Wonderful stay at the McDonough House in Glynsk
This property was just as described. Well equipped, clean and a beautiful view of the 12 Pins and bay. The host John was so helpful and promptly answered any questions. Easy check in and lovely home. It was a great area, nice local pub about 5 minutes away, and the Glynsk cottage restaurant was at the end of the road. It is a bit remote as most of Connemara is, but the landscape is beautiful and we were with an hour to Rossaveel ferry to Aran Islands, and less Kylemore Abbey and Clifden. Highly recommend and hopefully will return again to The wonderful McDonough House.
