We had a very enjoyable stay at Mary's holiday house. The house itself we found spacious and very comfortable (wide and comfortable mattress in the double room, two bathrooms...) with everything we needed for our 9-day stay. Mary welcomed us with a bottle of wine and things to eat and answered all our questions. There is a handy file in the house with information about the house, the area and things to do. The house is situated in the Carraroe peninsula, which is to the extreme south of County Galway, so some of the things to do in Connemara are naturally located further north, so on some days we had to travel quite a bit by car before we could hire bikes or find out where to do sea canoeing... However, the good thing is that it is not too touristy and it's beautiful, (oh and handy for visiting the Aran islands as well) so we definitely recommend staying at Mary's house.
