Perfect in every way! Carmel was charming & became a new friend, the home was charming and everything around the area was beautiful & surreal. Carmel was so hospitable & thought of everything from scones, peat for a peaceful fireplace, & all the suggestions for the area that one can imagine. The cottage was clean/ spacious and spotless, comfy and decorated so sweet. Towels & linens were great. Beds were so comfy & everything worked perfect. The greeting from Ruby, the sweet Irish setter & Carmel’s 3 cats brought us such joy, but they weren’t intrusive at all. We visited Clifden daily ( convenient for everything one might need & includes some of the best pubs, restaurants & shops with such kind people.) Kylemore Abbey, Connemara National Park & visiting the Aran Islands just can’t be beat! Do visit the local pub/grocery store down the road & please make time for the Sky Loop and Omey Island. It’s worth it!! We will be back when we visit again! Thanks Carmel for the best trip!
