It is hard to top what has already been said in the reviews for this place, but somehow the experience exceeded my already-heightened expectations. The house is huge, airy, delightfully decorated, and full of thoughtful touches (pantry staples, fresh fruit). The beds were super-comfortable. There are 4 little short-legged ponies that roam the land (though they are enclosed away from the house itself, in case that was a concern) and love pets and treats. And it was It is a great location for exploring all over Connemara, though we also spent some time just enjoying the house and the sound of the babbling brook outside. Finally, our host Micheal was such a pleasure to deal with--friendly, helpful, and interesting. We were so reluctant to leave! Would highly recommend.
