I really did not want to leave this cottage because it was such a beautiful, happy place to stay. The owners, Lucia and Robert were wonderful and could not have done more to ensure we had a comfortable holiday. Communication was excellent, they met us in Clifden to lead us back to the cottage in Errislannon. The location was perfect, a short drive from Clifden, very close to Derrigimlagh and looking out on Mannin bay. Lucia knew my children both had birthdays during the week we were there and had decorated the property with balloons and provided a delicious cake from Walsh’s bakery and some prosecco. The cottage design is open-plan and a perfect living space and surrounding gardens are well maintained and safe for children. Connemara is my favourite place on earth and despite the unpredictable weather (3 seasons in one day), we got out to the beaches and on walks and explored the area but always loved coming back to our cosy holiday home. Local amenities in Clifden were excellent- everything you need. Our recommendations include, Omey island, Inishbofin island, Derrigimlagh walk/ Marconi site, Sky road drive, Killary harbour and Leenane, Kylemore abbey, Connemara museum/Dan O’Hara homestead, Ballynahinch castle walks and pub lunch, Roundstone, Ballyconneally beaches, Clifden museum and cinema, Clifden castle and if you don’t mind the hour’s drive, Carraroe coral beach for snorkelling.
A truly wonderful holiday and will definitely be back 💗☘️
