“We had a fantastic stay at Tigh Darby.”

Our host, Sally, was so welcoming and the house all decorated for Christmas, much to the delight of our toddler! The two Connemara ponies out back provided much entertainment and we took lovely rambles to the sea and up the road to enjoy the Connemara landscape. The house was very clean and spacious and had everything we needed and we even had some lovely freshly baked scones from our host during our stay. Couldn't recommend more, we were sorry to leave and are looking forward to returning!

“Excellent accommodation in idyllic site, adjacent to Galway City but remote enough to be ‘socially distant’ in these unprecedented times.”

Lovely, hospitable hosts in Sally and Gerry who live in neighbouring house, provided an ample supply of freshly baked scones and tea, on our arrival. Their two ponies in adjoining fields were just as friendly, our 13 month granddaughter delighting in feeding And stroking them as often as she could. Great base for discovering the natural beauty of Connemara and treks, over our five day stay, across Galway Bay, into County Clare. Galway City itself is 25 minute drive with it’s fine array or eateries, shops and Latin Quarter, doing their best in the new ‘normal’. All in all a welcome break and priceless family time.

An Amazing home !!! was exactly how we imagined our future home would be like. Never felt so comfortable in rental accommodation. 4 bedrooms, beautiful living room and kitchen. Gas and oil heating made the place so warm in winter. close to the seaside and the village. A perfect holiday home

About the location

SPIDDAL, COUNTY GALWAY

Furbogh 4 miles; Galway City 12 miles; Oranmore 16 miles.

The small seaside village of Spiddal, on the Irish Coast, overlooks Galway Bay and the Aran Islands, and is a very popular destination for visitors. With numerous restaurants and pubs, two beaches and a lovely coastal golf course it has something to suit all tastes. Located close to Shannagarraun Wood, a Special Area of Conservation, Spiddal provides lovely places to walk and explore. Try sea fishing off the pier, take a walk down Tra na mBan Blue Flag sandy beach or indulge in a round of golf at Rosshill Golf Course. Only 12 miles to the east lies Galway City, where you can discover some of Ireland's long and varied history; visit Lynch's Castle, or trace the origin of the famous Claddagh Ring, which originated in a village near the shore of Galway Bay. Why not take a day trip to the Aran Islands? Catch a ferry from Rosaveel, or, alternatively, charter a boat and take a leisurely journey to one of the three islands. A lovely coastal village, not to be missed.
