Teach Teolai

An excellent holiday cottage in an interesting & beautiful part of Connemara.

The cottage has absolutely everything you will need for a comfortable stay, nothing is left to chance. Thoroughly recommended!

Lovely cottage.

Clean, comfortable and in a great location. 2nd visit and won’t be the last. Loved the real fire and the air frier.

We enjoyed our stay in Teach Teolai.

A comfortable and well equipped house close to the village.

Comfortable small cottage which was very clean and well equipped.

Plenty of clean towels and bed linen. There was a pleasant garden at the back. There was a nice welcome touch of a homemade cake when we arrived as well as milk in the fridge and tea/coffee.

Great house in a tranquil location

We had a lovely stay at this cottage.

So we'll equipped there is nothing Patricia hasn't thought of from anything you need to use is already there. Lots of information on things to do & see around Galway. Plenty of space & beds were realky comfortable. The TV was on blink & Michael had a new one brought within 24 hours, thank you. We can highly recommend this cottage & hope to have a return visit. 5 star

Everything you would want and more in a holiday cottage.

Well appointed and spotlessly clean.

We booked at the last minute and had no regrets, lovely lovely cottage, easy to get to very quite, very clean, beaches very close, would highly recommend to all my friends and family, Tricia was very helpful and accommodating.

We will be back. Bernie & Kevin

We have just spent a wonderful week at Teach Teolai.

The place is comfortable and well equipped. Being close to Carraroe was great for groceries and takeaways. The hosts were so helpful and yes, the Porter Cake was a lovely touch. As for Connemara, WOW. Highly Reccomended. Anne Marie and Peter

We enjoyed a lovely week at Teach Teola, couldn’t recommend it enough.

Fantastic base to travel around from. This house had everything you could possibly think of for your stay, all mod con's, there even was a wide selection of books and DVDs, a real home from home with all the little extras you’d never think off. Our little dog also really enjoyed his stay too as it’s pet friendly, super bonus. We will return next year more than once for sure.

Brilliant.

Loved it here.Warm ,clean cosy and comfortable. Well equipped and ideally placed to explore the county Happy to recommend and would certainly stay here again if available when we go back to the area.Thanks too for the lovely cake.

We felt more like guests in a family home, rather than a holiday home due to the little extra personal touches and friendly approachable attitude of the owner.

Good quality bedding and linen and fully equipped kitchen with clean very luxuriously appointed bathrooms made for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. We loved the conservatory and garden areas, as did our small dog. We hope to return to this property again next summer.

Thank you very much mammy, my brother and I had a lovely holiday here in May.

We enjoyed the beautiful weather and were able to sit in the garden on the warm balmy evenings. We visited Kylemore abbey, Cliften, Spiddal and some other lovely coastal drives. I did a bus trip to Galway city one day which was very successful. The owners made us feel very welcome by visiting and leaving a delicious porter cake. The house had everything possible needed for our week. We enjoyed some lovely meals. The organisation of the bins etc. was top class. Please God we get to return again.

The cottage was comfortable and contained everything we needed for an enjoyable self catering holiday.

Located in a small cul de sac, it was an easy 5 minute walk to the local EuroSpar, pubs and restaurants and about a 30-40 minute walk (or 5-10 minute drive) to the local beaches. It provided a good base to explore The Connemara National Park (about 45 minutes drive) and, with a good bus service to Galway, the sites and night life could be enjoyed without having to worry about driving or parking. Overall, we would happily stay at Teach Teolai again.

Teach Teolaí is a fantastic house for a holiday stay.

It is equipped with everything you could possibly need and is located a short walk from Carraroe village. Patricia and Michael are excellent hosts and made sure that everything needed was provided, especially during the recent storm. Pet friendly too

Teach Teolai is a superb holiday house located in an excellent position for exploring the Connemara coast.

The house is a lovely combination of luxurious meets cosy. I felt really at home here and loved the furnishings, multi-fuel stove, fleecy blankets and fluffy towels. The kitchen is well equipped with beautiful crockery and an impressive selection of wine/cocktail glasses. Lovely garden with robins and other birdlife to watch from the relaxating sun room. Patricia and Michael are excellent hosts - thank you for being so welcoming and making sure I had everything I needed during my stay.

Great wee bolt hole loved our time their.

beautiful coral beach 5 minute drive away ❤️ Lovely hosts with great information on places to go Local transport system fantastic for stress free visits to local amenities Thanks for a lovely time Galway ❤️

Hi, Had a great experience accommodation was excellent, Michael & Trisha were very helpful overall enjoyed.

Can you do anything about the weather LOL. regards Brian & Phyllis.

Great place, feels like a home from home, relaxed & easy vibe.

The homemade cake the owners leave is unbelievably tasty! It's in the Gaeltacht which is part of the appeal for our family too & there are enough things in an Cheathrú Rua for the kids between beaches, walks, playpark & a pitch. Have stayed twice now & will likely stay again in the future. It's a good base to get out & about Conamara...nice Guinness in the local too ;)

We felt at home from the minute we arrived.

The spacious accommodation had lots of extra thoughtful touches to make our stay very comfortable. Everything we needed was there. It is in a great location for exploring the west coast of Galway.

This is a lovely ( clean) property in a very quiet village.

We loved it all , no hesitation in recommending a ( quiet) holiday here.

Great people nice place great location

Lovely property, clean, well maintained and as described.

Just a few minutes walk from Carraroe village with good shop & great pub. Michael and Patricia are fantastic hosts, making us & our 4 legged friend very welcome. Also full of advice on places to visit. The Coral Strand is a must. We look forward to returning.

A wonderfully warm, welcoming, comfortable and the best equipped cottage we have ever stayed in.

Owners are very friendly and available to help with any queries that arise. A fabulous Guinness Tea Cake left for us which was absolutely delicious, we asked for and got the recipe. We are putting this cottage top of our list for another visit. Thank you for a very enjoyable holiday for the three of us and Penny the dog. Highly recommend.

We loved teach teolai.

It was cosy, comfortable, clean and so well equipped with kitchen ware, cooking utensils, sharp knives, large pots and baking tins. Comfy towels, lots of dvds, board games. Would recommend it for a family holiday. Great location also for Connemara, roundstone, lettermore, Galway city. Great walks and swims. Thanks so much.

A beautiful cottage well situated for everything in the village.

Porter cake was waiting for us on the table kindly left by Patricia.

Lovely comfortable home for a winter break.

House had everything we needed and we could walk to the shoreline quite easily which was nice. Great to see a dog friendly property in an area we love.

Very well maintained and well equipped house.

Good Wi-Fi. Cosy stove and heating. Responsive and friendly owners. Excellent proximity to nearby village. Thank you!

This was a spacious and very well furnished cottage.

We had everything we needed and more for our stay. The unit was one of the cleanest cottages we have rented in a long time! I'm very grateful that the owner allowed us to bring our dog with us for the holidays which can be a struggle with holiday cottages. The location is also excellent to get around and we were able to explore the area each day.

All five of us (six if you include our furry friend) had a wonderful time here, it was nice and quiet while still being close enough to everything.

Thanks so much for sharing your lovely home with our family!

Good place for perfect holiday.

The best equipped house we've ever been before.

Very comfortable amd close to pub,shop and restaurant. Nice,short walk to the lough. That house has everything what you need and even more . We enjoyed our stay in it

Lovely house,well located and has everything needed for a your stay.

We enjoyed our stay in the cottage everything was as stated in website and would visit this property again .

..the only slight thing was the freezer being out in the outbuilding its a pity it wasn’t in the kitchen but it’s not a manger problem . The owners were very helpful and it was good being able to walk to shops and a good bus link .

Lovely house, everything you need to have a wonderful stay.

Hosts are so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend staying here.

Bhí an-time againn ag fanacht i dTigh Teolaí.

Bhí gach aon rud ar fáil romhainn. Is daoine An-deas iad na muintir na háite. Thug Patricia fáilte mór romhainn. Níl cúis gearán ar bith againn. Molaim go mór é. Go raibh céad míle maith agaibh. Go ngnóthaí Dia daoibh. Beir bua agus beannacht - muintir MacAindriú, Cluain Tarbh, Baile Átha Cliath.

Delightful cottage in a friendly town.

Slower paced than Galway but the scenery, the atmosphere and the cottage have us just what we wanted. Wonderful hosts!

The house was extremely well equipped, the best we’ve ever had in holiday rental in Ireland.

It was spotless and beautifully decorated.

Delighted to have found this lovely house.

It was home from home. I could not have asked for anything else in the house it was perfect and the lovely fruit loaf and tea and coffee waiting for your first brew after your journey.Thank you Patricia and Michael. Lovely to get to bring our little dog with us.

Lovely comfortable house it really felt like home from the beginning.

Paintings and pottery and ornaments gave an elegant touch to the house. Our dog Koda settled in immediately . I would love uo return again dome day soon.

ENCANTADORA CASA EN UN PARAJE ÚNICO.

Aunque es muy difícil superar las vistas de la casa, el propietario y su familia son aún mejores. Estuvimos dos meses, y nos quedamos con más ganas. A nuestra llegada, nos recibieron y nos pusieron la chimenea junto con pastel y algunas cervezas. La cocina es genial, con un gran frigorífico y todos los utensilios necesarios. Si quieres disfrutar de el anillo de Beara tranquilamente, que te enseñen y muestren los bonitos animales que tienen, y conocer a buenas personas, en definitiva, si quieres vivir la auténtica Irlanda, sin duda, este es el lugar. Lo peor de la casa, fue tener que dejarla. Volveremos seguro. Gracias. Os llevamos en nuestro corazón, contando los días para volver a veros.

EXCELENTE ANFITRIONA, CASA Y UBICACIÓN Al llegar, Patricia y su hija fueron encantadoras con nosotras y nos explicaron todo genial, al llegar teníamos un delicioso pastel (aunque no fue el único regalo que nos brindaron).

La casa es muy acogedora, cómoda, muy limpia y con todos los utensilios más que necesarios. La calefacción es impresionante, así como su chimenea. Las camas y el sofá muy confortables. Volveríamos a repetir sin duda. Lo vamos a hacer. Muchas gracias a Patricia y su familia. Os llevamos en nuestro corazón.

Comfortable cottage in a great location.

Full of dvds,cds and games which and an open fire that made evenings cosy. Loved it.

Great property all the facilities you need for a great holiday the local area has suffered from lack of income due to COVID-19 hope it recovers as it deserves too

Great house.

Very comfortable.Fully equipped and more. Very convenient to all amenities . Lovely quiet back garden.

Location to village was great.

House very comfortable

We had a lovely stay at teach teolaí with access arrangements very easy.

Patricia had a lovely fruit cake left for us to make it feel like home from home. The swings were a hit with our family which was a nice facility to have.

Firstly, we were pleasantly surprised at how spacious the house was both inside and out.

It was close to the facilities that we needed, a play park, shops, food, pub and beaches. Between the weather and Covid we didn't really get to experience many restaurants but hopefully there will be a next time. It was centrally located in Conamara so plenty of Gaeilge and everything we wanted to visit was within about an hour's drive, we chose it mainly for it's location with having a young family and speaking Gaeilge. It is quiet but that's what we wanted and you could go for a nice stroll without bumping into many people. The house itself was very comfortable, welcoming and well maintained with all the amenities stated. A nice touch when we arrived was the amazing homemade cake, unexpected and extremely tasty! A highly recommended house. Go raibh míle maith agaibh, Seán, Kathy agus clann.

We absolutely loved our stay at Teach Teolaí.

The house surpassed our expectations and the family who own it were so kind and welcoming. We were given a gorgeous porter cake on arrival. The house was immaculately clean and everything we could think of was in place for our stay. You need to bring your own toiletries but that would be a given really. There are board games and books as well as wifi and TV. We lit the fire on one occasion and it was lovely. The house and garden are well kept and all the essential kitchen supplies are in place. We had such a lovely comfortable stay that we have already advised my sister and her family to try to reserve some time there in the future. We were a family of 5 (2 seniors, 1 adult, 1 teenager and our dog Oliver) and I hope we can return again soon. Thanks for making our holiday as relaxing as could be. Claudine & family

What a lovely surprise it was to walk into this house and feel immediately at home.

We were lucky enough to stay here for 2 weeks and we enjoyed every moment of our stay here. Patricia was responsive and helpful and made us feel most welcome. This area is remote and tucked away which is just what we were looking for. Long walks in a gorgeous and peaceful setting, no matter which direction. Visiting the Coral Strand was lovely, a good walk there and great swimming too. The town is small but everything you might need is there, a good pub with excellent Guinness and a great Sunday session, the Eurostar market is well stocked with everything you might need. A couple of restaurants too though it was more fun to cook at home (the kitchen is well appointed). Lovely to stay home and have a fire and a glass of wine. The bedrooms were nice in size, the mattress extremely comfortable, the linens fresh and of good quality. This is a good place to stay if you’re looking to be a bit away from the hustle and bustle of Galway. Day trips to Roundstone, Clifden, Connemara National Park, the Aran Islands, Galway all easy. We highly recommend this home and hope to return again soon! Thank you. Regina Wiedlin & John McDonagh

The cottage is quietly located in a low density development, many properties of which are full time homes.

There is an excellent Spar supermarket, a local pub and restautant/carry-out establishment a short walk away. The property is clean, well furnished and comfortable with a large conservatory and easily lit turf fire.The journey from the ferry port of entry, Larne outside Belfast, is straight forward. The toll motorways in Ireland are reasonably priced, fairly lightly used as you go west with no commercial traffic to speak of, and are easy to navigate. The 2 hours from Dublin to Galway was an easy drive, the countryside becomming more interesting the further west you go. Connemara with its lakes and mountains is breathtaking and villages such as Cong and towns such as Clifden should not be missed. At 42 miles long Lake Corrib is special, Ashford Castle a good setting out point for a Loch cruise, and Galway itself a continental experience, even on a wet day. The town museum is well worth a visit covering local history and culture. The area has been in occupation since Neolithic times and there is a lot to see if you seek it out.

Beautiful cottage with everything you could possibly require.

Spacious & spotless. Loved the selection of DVDs for use on rainy days or after a long day touring the area. Great beach nearby and the local eurospar catered every need. My daughter loved the swings out thr back. Felt very welcome & would love to come back again!

We enjoyed this lovely cottage very much .

bit disappointed with where it is situated. But close to all facilities . And good touring for long drives . Only thing I did not like was the washing machine/ dryer /being in the shed .

The house was well very equipped, comfortable and clean.

The owner was lovely, and made us feel at home in their house. The location was perfect with loads of walks on our doorstep.

Fantastic cottage and facilities - thank you to the owners.

It was extremely relaxing.

Beautiful house in a wonderful landscape...

All great!

This cottage was really lovely, very much home from home.

Micheal and Tricia are very friendly and welcoming. You have everything you could possibly need for either relaxing or hiking holiday. The only negative is, how long it takes to get to Galway, but a positive note is the scenery is beautiful. Also we haven't yet found a pub that welcomes your pet inside, when you are with family or friends you do not want them outside on their own or indeed in inclement weather.

The cottage is very well equipped , warm, comfortable and well located.

Our hosts Patricia and Michael went out of their way to help and look after us and seem to have thought of everything that we could possibly need . We will definitely book again! Thanks so much, Freia, Jim, Niamh and Gizmo

The property has an abundance of crockery and cutlery but the pans were really large.

As my wife is disabled we need to book properties that suit our needs and so we have occupancy of two in large properties. This is usually fine but sometimes like this one the pans are tailored for full occupancy and not for just the two of us. Beds can also be a problem for us as as well as we need firm to orthopaedic but most are soft and unsupportive as was this one. We couldn't find any instruction manuals on how to work the appliances. The property is probably the best we've been to during our 7 years visiting Ireland.

House extremely well equipped.

More like a home than a holiday let. Lovely bathrooms and great location for walks, Aran Islands and rest of Connemara.

a comfortable well equipped and warm cottage on the edge of a small town with a reasonable selection shops pubs and restaurants within walking distance.

Lovely owners who were most helpful and friendly.There is a bus service into Galway but a car is really essential to explore the delights of Connemara

Very well equiped bungalow.

Excellent location close to the Connemara Loop & all its beautiful scenery. Ideally situated for anyone wishing to catch the ferry to the Isles of Aran & close enough to the very modern city of Galway for those wanting a break from the peace & solitude of Connemara.
