Home from home
This was our 2nd stay here and once again it didn't disappoint. I love the location just outside Clifden. The house is so well equipped. Lovely hot nice pressurised showers. Such a cosy house between the heating and wood burning stove. Beds extremely comfortable. The children love the space outside for exploring and kicking a ball. We will for sure be back again. It has become my go to for when I visit Clifden. Great communication with host and booking agent.

Terrific house in an area of outstanding natural beauty
This house is in an area of outstanding natural beauty. It has everything you could possible need. It is conducive to relaxation, clever design, comfort and amazing gardens with spectacular views and wildlife. We didn’t want to leave.
Excellent base for visiting Connemara. We particularly liked the space and brightness of the house, the comfort of the beds, the showers, the information provided about the Clifden area, and the parking arrangements. I will e-mail Love Connemara Cottages separately about the defects: not enough wine glasses when we arrived, one toilet was blocked, one shower didn't drain properly, a difficult front door lock, and the rather unkempt garden.

Great location but water in bathrooms was a problem
This is a lovely property in a great location but our stay was ruined by a lack of water in the bathrooms. Lots of our time was wasted dealing with this problem that wasn't resolved during our stay.
At times there was no water to wash hands in the bathroom and the water pressure was insufficient upstairs to shower. The person in the office was extremely helpful but unfortunately was unable to resolve the problem during our stay despite the plumber coming out to the property. We were offered a voucher to compensate for our poor experience but it didn't even cover one night's stay so was of no use. Very poor experience.
