“The owners were so warm and welcoming.”

The scones that we had upon arrival were delicious! Definitely was a home away from home. Excellent area for exploring many of Ireland’s beautiful villages and landscapes. We would definitely stay at Tigh Darby again. Everyone in my party was so pleased with our accommodations! Thanks to Sally and Gerry for sharing their lovely home!

“The cottage was really cozy, clean and a great equipment.”

Moreover were the housekeepers very friendly and the landscape was beautiful. The key delivery went perfect without any misunderstandings and also the location of the cottage is fantastic.

- Mr Hundeshagen, June 2019
“Fantastic Holiday, made even better by the Cottage.”

The location was perfect for us and the amenities in the Cottage were better than being at home! We all enjoyed feeding the horses who were right next to the Cottage, as well as a daily visit by the Black Cat. The Cottage is very clean, and we were greeted on arrival by a lovely Lemon cake and Easter treats which were enjoyed by our little girl! Thankyou very much to Sally for brining in the washing when it looked like it was going to rain! It was also lovely to snuggle down of an evening in the main living room and watch the TV as a family with the fire on. I would highly recommend the Cottage for a large group/family, as the lay out of the rooms suited us all. We will certainly return.

“Stayed one week while working in Galway.”

House offered everything we could need and was immaculately clean. The host (Sally) was incredibly warm and super helpful with everything we needed. 100% recommended.

- Mr Power, April 2019
“W e discovered that the property was an excellent location for touring Connemara and The Burren.”

It was also easy to visit the Cliffs of Mor and the Aran Islands by boat. W e visited Galway city and Limerick and other areas in the west.The Wild Atlantic drive was memorable!!! We enjoyed the local food especially the fish and the Irishbread The restaurants and pubs served lovely meals and what can I say about the Guinness?? The local craft shops were sensational . What talented people!! We were made so welcome everywhere we visited. I look forward to my next visit

“The property is immaculately kept and the owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome.”

Lovely views from the front bedrooms. The description online does not do the property justice as the rooms are more spacious than the pictures show and it is extremely comfy both the bedrooms and the seating areas. Good bus service into Galway although check the times as they are not frequent. Loads of lovely beaches in the area to visit and had some lovely meals in the local pubs and the hotel in the village. Went to the Aquarium in Salthill which is worth a visit . Brigit's garden was lovely and the food amazing. Coral beach at Carraroe was also worth a visit but no good for sandcastles. For gifts you won't find better than Standuns at the edge of Spiddal for quality and price. The Crystal factory in Moycullen was also lovely but not for younger children as some of the exhibits will be expensive to pay for if damaged. The only problem we had when arriving was finding the house as the 'how to find us' on the email shows 'Sala Chuana' but the sign which is marked on a stone on the right coming from Spiddal shows the Gaelic name of 'Saile Chuna' . We ended up phoning the owner after going past the turning and she came to the end of the lane to find us. There is a blue sign at present showing 'Sea Mist B & B' on the left hand side which may help guests to find the correct turning. All in all a lovely week was had by us all.

- Mrs Sidney, July 2018
“We spent a wonderful week.”

The house met all our expectations in terms of comfort, geographical situation and welcoming. It proved spacious for 5 people. It is nicely decorated and really enables to prepare and have meals and enjoy peaceful evenings. It is easy and quick to go sightseeing around Connemara and County Clare. The environment is beautiful and the owners extremely warm, generous and always ready to help.

- Mrs Coulangeon, May 2018
“A dream holiday home”

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

- Paddy L, May 2018
“Sally and Gerry were great hosts.”

Could not have been friendlier or more generous. Fresh scones on arrival. Milk, butter, tea bags, etc left for when we arrived. Sally even brought around some free range eggs one morning. Great place to stay. Clean. One of best beds I have slept in. Loads of big towels. Lot of little touches really helped. Such as an umbrella by kitchen door. Not that we needed it as weather was great. Wi fi was excellent but did struggle to get a good mobile phone signal unless you went outside. But that’s a very minor issue. Would recommend this accommodation. And if you could guarantee the good weather would definitely go back.

- Mr Osullivan, May 2018
“The owners Sally and Gerry were such a lovely couple.”

They live next door so met them a couple of times during our stay. Always stopped for a chat and asked how things were going. They have a pony who we got to meet on one of the last days as our son had kept hearing the horse but we never seen it. The house has everything you need and more all supplied by hosts. Lovely little touches like fresh flowers in sitting room and kitchen, freshly home baked scones on arrival, towels, dish towels provided for use. The kitchen was well stocked cutlery, crockery and other utensils. The house had plenty of room for us party 4 adults and 2 kids. You would need a car if staying here as we used ours a lot as found the immediate area did not have much to do so needed to travel further for activities. The weather was nice and dry and imagine it would be a gorgeous area on a lovely hot sunny day.

- Mrs Skidgmore, April 2018
