“Carna Chalet”

We stayed in the chalet early September. It's a beautiful house very well equipped & spotlessly clean. Very close to a variety if beaches if you get good weather! We would recommend a visit but be prepared for a long drive.

“Great accommodation, easy to find and great location.”

Handy for the pub, shop and beaches. Mrs Canavan was the perfect host, keeping up with social distancing rules, she had left us instructions for everything we needed to know. The house was exactly as described and spotless too. We could not have asked for better. We loved the piece and quiet

- Mr Stokes, September 2020
“Carna Chalet is in a quiet town along the Wild Atlantic way.”

The accommodation was clean and cared for. The area around the lodge is very quiet, it has a couple of shops close by, hotel with good food. Best local food shops are a couple of miles drive on the main roads ,they had better selection there. The local beaches are within a few miles and I have to say we were surprised to fine good local beaches which we had exclusivity too. The area/scenery along the coast is stunning and well worth the drive. Galway town is about 1hr 20 mins. drive away. We have obviously stayed during the CV19 pandemic, although ROI is quieter due to restrictions we still had a lovely stay.

- Mr Hurley, August 2020
“The accommodation was exceptionally clean and comfortable.”

The location was excellent at the edge of the village within walking distance of two restaurants. Though not in walking distance of the beach there are many excellent swimming beaches and piers close by which we enjoyed. Our thanks to the Canavans who were excellent hosts and made us feel welcome and comfortable. Definitely one I would recommend

- Ms Kearney, August 2020
“We had a wonderful week in Carna.”

The chalet was cosy, extremely clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable family holiday. The hosts are really warm and friendly people who made us very welcome despite Covid-19! The area around Carna is a hidden gem and has so much wild beauty with hidden coves, amazing views, great walks and so much more.

“The chalet is beautiful, clean & generously equipped in the kitchen.”

It’s a lovely location for truly relaxing. The bed is so comfortable. If your looking for great sleep on your break then you will certainly get some here, the air is fresh and clean. Local amenities are all within walking distance and extremely friendly folk. 3 local beaches within walking distance with fabulous views and breathtaking wild Atlantic way breezes. You do need a car to get out to see some of the other locations. Roundstone is the nearest town, small and pretty then next is Clifden a slightly busier town with lots of bars/pubs and boutiques/ Supermarkets and the drive is scenic. Finally our host Annmarie was a truly lovely kind lady who baked us real Irish soda bread and scones - delivered to the kitchen table fresh and hot. And not forgetting her homemade blackberry jam which was very tasty. We were given lots of information about things to do and places to visit and eat. Annmarie lives very near so always on hand to help if needed. We intend to return next year with our grandchildren. A HUGE thank you Annmarie for being a great host and making our stay in Carna fantastic. See you next year Paula & Stephen.

“The host Anne-Marie was great.”

She welcomed us and showed us round. She also made us scones and bread which was waiting for us in the kitchen! Later in the week she made us some more! The host also gave us insight where to go for pubs, shops, and beaches. She was very helpful and friendly

“The chalet was perfect for our needs - really well utilised space, with two bathrooms with showers and a toilet for the upstairs bedrooms as well.”

The beds were so comfortable and the house was very well equipped with all your needs attended to, and was absolutely spotlessly clean. There was lovely outdoor furniture and extra recliner chairs so we were able to get the full benefit while the sun shone. The chalet is located close by a hotel and two pubs, so a bite to eat and a dink in the evening are within easy walking distance. There are a number of beautifully scenic beaches in the vicinity - within a 5 minute drive, but we chose to cycle and thoroughly enjoyed it. Moyrus beach is particularly safe for swimming with young children when the tide is in. Most of all, the thing that made or holiday one to remember, was the warmth of the welcome from the owners, Anne Marie and Brendan. Anne Marie had gorgeous home made brown bread and scones awaiting us on arrival. Unfortunately, we had a mishap in our car while on holiday, and Anne Marie and Brendan were so incredibly kind and helpful to us -they made what was a stressful situation so much easier to deal with. We'll always remember their kindness to us. Míle míle buíochas!

- Mr Devlin, August 2019
“The cottage was very comfortable and clean.”

The drive from Carna to the main road N59 is breathtaking. Anne-Marie was very friendly and welcoming and kept us supplied with lovely home baked scones and bread. We would definitely recommend this holiday home.

- Mrs Heaney, July 2019
“Our stay at Carna Chalet was excellent.”

The owner (Mrs Canavan) was extremely welcoming and generously made us batches of scones and bread - making us feel very special. The cottage is very comfortable and has everything you need. What made our week extra memorable will be Mrs Canavan who went over and above to make our stay very pleasant- giving us tips on what to see and do in the area. Would definitely stay again.

About the location

CARNA, COUNTY GALWAY

Clifden 23 miles; Galway 49 miles.

The small, quiet village of Carna in the heart of the Irish-speaking area of Connemara Gaeltacht, is set on the shores of Galway Bay, overlooking Galway Harbour, in the scenic region of Connemara. Carna is noted for its traditional Irish music and singing, and music sessions are held weekly in the local pubs and hotel. For walkers, runners, cyclists and hillwalkers, the area provides opportunities unrivalled for their tranquillity and scenery. The quiet roads leading to Mweenish Island and the local coves are ideal for family cycling. Lying off the coast of Carna is St. MacDara's Island, a site of pilgrimage and mass held on 16th July each year. The famous sailing crafts, the 'Galway Hookers' were made in Carna, as well as a small boat called the Currach, and the area is well known for the skilled boat-makers who crafted them. There are still some working examples of the 'Galway Hooker' moored at Mweenish Island and Cashel Bay and 'hooker' regattas are held throughout July and August. It is also possible to book a day trip on a local 'hooker'. There is great fishing in the area with many working piers providing an ideal place for lobster, crab and mackerel fishing, while Connemara National Park, home to the famous Connemara Pony and Kylemore Abbey are both within easy reach, providing great days out for all the family.
