“The cottage is very special and really takes you back in time to how the Irish lived.”

Wonderfully restored some years back retaining its age; history and romance of a wonderful place.

Wonderfully restored some years back retaining its age; history and romance of a wonderful place. We had a great time and we were able to relax and enjoy the cottage. It is in a remote location but thats what we wanted for peacefulness of the Irish country. It is perfectly located for exploring the west side of Ireland which is what we managed to do in the 8 days we were here. Thanks Darren and Vanessa.

“A delightful step back in time while having all the modern conveniences.”

Cottage was renovated beautifully with every attention to detail and in keeping with its old world charm. Sonia, the owner was very friendly and accommodating. My only regret is that we didn't have more time to really enjoy the cottage in the evenings around the fire. Thank you, Sonia, for sharing your home. I'm sure we'll be back!!!! Mary, Noelle and Sara

“A beautiful cottage set in the countryside.”

You will need transport to get about. The host Sonia was very very helpful. All in all a very enjoyable holiday except for the weather but then we cant control that. Ha Ha . Regards Desi Lennox

“Absolutely perfect!”

Our stay at New Thatch Farm cottage was the highlight of our three week holiday in Ireland. The location worked well for exploring the sites of Western Ireland and the cottage provided a comfortable and welcoming place to return each evening. It is nestled in a quiet country setting with all the splendour of the area right on the doorstop. The cottage itself is well appointed and has been carefully and artfully restored to provide all the modern amenities while maintaining its original character. The owner was attentive and welcoming without being intrusive and offered many helpful hints about the area. The beds were comfortable, the cottage scrupulously clean and the presentation, from linens and towels to the lovely bouquet of wild flowers and plate of scones that greeted us on arrival, resonant of a 5 star getaway. The woodstove was a bonus we put to good use each evening as we enjoyed dinner and late night conversation in the cozy sitting room.

“A great place to experience the contry life!”

We stayed at New Thatch Farm the first week of our 3 week holiday in Ireland and (other than the weather) it was perfect! The thatched cottage has been restored and updated with all the modern conveniences in a way that allows its original charm to shine through.
