“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:)”

“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!”

“Nos atendio la Sra Joyce, que fue bastante comprensiva con nuestro retraso, ya que nos perdimos en dos ocasiones. Era educada y amable. La vivienda era perfecta, con todas las comodidades que se describen y todo lo necesario en una casa de campo. La ubicacion, perfecta, todo rodeado de lagos. Precioso y cercano a todo lo visitable en esa zona. Los vecinos de la zona, amables, simpaticos y dispuestos a ayudarnos en todo momento, ya que al ser extranjeros no hablabamos apenas ingles.”

“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!”

The property

This traditional, mostly single-storey Connemara cottage is just a few minutes' walk to the sea and just 10 minutes' walk to the pub in Rosmuc, in the heart of Connemara, County Galway. This Connemara cottage dates back to the 1800s, and has been tastefully renovated and modernised to combine tradition, character and contemporary features including the stable-type door, stone floors, butler sink and cosy woodburner, making for a great Connemara cottage. Surrounded by 25 acres of rugged Galway countryside, this Connemara cottage boasts rural views from all aspects, so sitting in the garden to enjoy the views is a must, and whether it's a sunny summer's day, balmy spring morning or blustery autumn afternoon, the beautiful landscape will have a visual treat in store for you. If you fancy a walk, perhaps traverse the numerous acres and dip your toes in the cooling sea water and feel its chill lap at your feet, instantly cooling you down on a hot day. There is plenty to see and do right from the doorstep of this Connemara cottage, if you can tear your eyes away from the beautiful view for long enough.

- “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.”
