Carmel's place was definitely my favorite stop in our Ireland adventure and I'm sad we only were able to stay for 1 night. The minute I walked into her adorable cottage, I knew we had made a mistake by not booking a longer stay in Connemara. The cottage is perfect, even more cozy and welcoming than the pictures. It was a short walk to a private beach where we were able to enjoy the beautifully sunny Ireland day! The accommodations were perfect and had all the amenities we needed including a washer & dryer! She even had toys for my 2 year old, which he approved of. Its a close drive to Clifden which is a perfect little town. Check in was a breeze. I would recommend Carmel's cottage to anyone going to Connemara, and would urge them to stay longer than we did!
