“We arrived late and the owners were still very welcoming.”

The house Itself was better than expected the pictures do not do this holiday home justice at all. much nicer in real life and is very well finished and is very warm for the winter. Everything worked perfect all appliances are of excellent quality and Mary and her son were excellent hosts they had the fire lighting and left us with a mountain of logs and turf. We didn't want to leave. We will be returning to Rosmuc cottage after the new year as the experience we had was unforgettable. The house ...

“Meet Mary, a lovely lady, it was a lovely stay and Mary had the heat on, wood brought in for the stove, and she even had milk bought for us.”

It was great to be able to brings my dogs, and there are beautiful walks, and you are free to walk on all land. We will be back. Thank you Mary Antoinette Daly

“Brilliant relaxing week in Connemara for us and our two dogs, who were shattered by the end of the week from the hours of amazing walks they had every day.”

The cottage was really well equipped, loads of kitchen stuff and facilities for washing etc. Shower was lovely, and a huge pile of turf and logs for a nice fire in the stove every night. Nice fields behind the cottage leading down to the sea shore so great for a walk with the dogs in the evening (needed to keep dogs on leads as the fields are full of Hares and there were cattle with calves so they were a bit protective). Really good location for visiting loads of the Wild Atlantic Way and coastal areas such as An Cheathru Rua, Coral Beach, Roundstone, Gorteen, Dog's Bay. Close enough to Oughterard or Clifden for shopping. Lough Mask and Lough Na Fooey were great for fishing and the scenery in the mountains around Maam and Finney was absolutely stunning. Best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. Only words of caution are to bring insect repellent to counter the midges as they are out in the morning and evening, even on a sunny day, and keep the doors closed in the evening so they don't follow you into the house.

“Very nice cottage, nicer than it looks on the pictures.”

Nice area, also easy to do excursions to Aran islands or Clifdon area. We had lovely week with gorgeous weather.

“Don't walk any dogs near the cottage as there are 2 very vicious one just down thwe road.”
Miss Keefe December 2018

“This is my third time visiting the cottage in Rosmuc - I love it.”

The perfect base for exploring Connemara. The included fuel is a brilliant addition, as anyone who's ever visited Ireland will know, it's almost permanently wet and damp in winter so great to be able to get the cottage warm and comfortable without having to worry about incurring costs. Will definitely be returning
Mr Phillips October 2018

“A lovely cottage to get away from things for a week.”

We'll stocked shop withing a mile, supermarkets 40minutes away. Lovely walks and beaches in close(ish) proximity. Great wood and peat burner. Very cosy. The owner had stocked some items for the dishwasher, washing machine, etc. All in all a lovely place to stay.
Ms Nesbitt July 2018

“Very charming little cottage - very comfortable and well equipped with a lovely garden.”

The garden isn't secure for a small dog but it's located on a very quiet road and the gates mean that a dog is at least slowed down before reaching the road. We kept an eye on my dog and she never got out onto the road. Only thing I would change is the shower cubicle but the shower itself is great. We had a fabulous holiday here.
Mrs Stokes April 2018

“We have stayed in many holiday cottages, but this one surpassed all expectations.”

The owner was there to greet us and show us around and we were amazed at the facilities. The kitchen was fully equipped with spotless utensils and pans - everything was clean and shining! It was cosy and the stove was a treat in the unseasonally cold weather. The garden was well cared for and the dogs loved it too. It's a beautiful tranquil spot and so convenient for touring around Connemara. It comes very highly recommended.

“Cosy getaway but remote”

Lovely cottage bit south of Connemara proper, just a bit too far from galway. Great place to snuggle up with a book in front of the fire. Lovely owner, kitted out well. Dogs had a great time and we relaxed:)

“The land that time forgot”

Have just had one of the most relaxing holidays. The countryside is spectacular and the cottage a fantastic base. The dogs enjoyed it also, albeit the weather was very hot but there's plenty of water around, lakes or sea. People very friendly and welcoming.

“Great location, lovely cottage”

We stayed here towards the end of Sept and had a wonderful week long holiday. The cottage is really well equipped and has a fabulous shower!! The Rosmuc area is really lovely - we explored the area on foot on mainly quiet lanes and deserted beaches. The walk from the cottage across the cottage's land to the coast was lovely and we even saw an Irish hare down there a couple of times, which was a real treat. Aside from the immediate area being lovely, the cottage is conveniently located for travelling either to Galway City and the wider Connemara area. It's easy enough to hop onto the main road and head in whichever direction you'd like to. The owner was very welcoming and accommodating with arrival and departure arrangements. All in all, a great holiday, super cottage and really wonderful location. We'd happily return!

“Fantastic Cottage”

We had a lovely holiday at this beautiful cottage. The cottage was very well equipped and perfect for a family of four. The owner was very friendly and helpful and very understanding when we arrived late, having taken a couple of wrong turns. We particuarly enjoyed the deserted local beaches and fell in love with the whole area. Thank you!
