Dearbhaill and Charlie are lovely & thoughtful hosts. The cottage is so charming & well equipped (a kitchen filled with utensils, pots, pans, coffee plunger) and yummy breakfast provision provided (scones, eggs, bread & coffee). It made for an easier stay, especially since we arrived in the late afternoon - we didn't have to worry about finding breakfast groceries for the morning! There is no wifi or television...which in my opinion is a huge plus. Cnoc Suain is a place to unplug, relax and enjoy your surrounding and the company you keep. (However, there are a few board games and books in the cottages for those wanting 'entertainment'). Staying here is a unique experience and I highly recommend it.

The property itself is beautiful. Rugged and remote - make sure you take a good look around. Charlie chatted with us a little about the land and the bog and even showed us a 3,000 year old stone near the house. He gave us great tips for An Spideal (Tigh Gilbin was a favourite) as well as things to see and routes to drive in the Connemara region.

The property was pretty easy to find, too. (there are a couple of signs along the way, so keep an eye out for them).
