My daughter and I cannot overstate our joy and wonder as we arrived at Fermoyle Lodge. The cottage is extremely comfortable and well-appointed. The gardens and woods are magical in a way that only hundred year old gardens can be, with mature trees and plantings that only several generations can create. Mary and John are to be commended on their loving restoration of this historical treasure and the reclaiming of the garden and its secret delights. It is far off the beaten path and allows for a truly authentic experience of Connemara and her ancient ways. Do watch out for the sheep, cattle, and Connemara ponies that wander freely and may choose to help you slow down and enjoy the views!
