The cows welcomed us to the cottage with moos. A lovely location perfectly situated for exploring the Connemara region in Ireland. Our days including visits to Knock, Croagh Patrick, Galway, Westport, Cong, Kylemore Abbey, etc. with beautiful scenic drives each day.

The cottage is lovely, and check in/out was very simple. Note that after reserving, Dennis emails a long PDF document that includes cottage maintenance/opening info, scenic walks, detailed directions, and more. There were instructions on laundry, water heater, electricity, rubbish, recycling and more.

We were travelling with an 8 month old and had a late evening arrival. I may not have booked this lovely place knowing what kind of start up it needed (for example I didn't realise until Dennis sent his document that we would need to turn on electricity and heat), but the person who assisted with check in really helped us out and I appreciated that greatly. We were also travelling in the low season so not everyone will have this experience.

We would stay here again, but for a lengthier visit. We were here just 3 nights. Would love to come back for a week or two and really explore. The back room looking out over the lake was a lovely place to share our meals each morning and evening.
