It's location is ideal for visiting all the areas in Connemara and only just over an hours drive to Galway. The house was comfortable and clean, and Carole the owner gave us a lovely welcome and was always on hand to give advice and help if needed. Spent 7 days there and was sorry to leave but will always have lovely memories of our stay there.
