Kylemore Lake Cottage was just gorgeous !!! So warm, cosy and it felt like home. So much to see and do around Connemara. Connemara National Park is amazing and only a short drive. The beautiful Kylemore Abbey is only 5 minutes by car. The local village of Letterfrack has all that you would need, a great supermarket, for your caffeine fix you must go to Kabo Cafe for the best coffee, open Friday to Monday (tried others on the days Kabo was closed but they were no substitute). The absolute highlight of our stay, thanks to Geraldine, was the STUNNING Glassilaun Beach. With amazing mountain backdrop, white sand and blue water you could spend hours here and our kids had the best time in and out of water and around the sand dunes and then home to the stove; pure joy!! Our only down side was that our stay had to end. Also a little tip for anyone who would like a break in the west of Ireland but may have to work a bit during the day, my husband found ‘Connemara West Remote Working Hub’ in Tullycross which was about a 10\15 mins drive from the house, thatch cottages converted into work spaces with excellent WiFi and a perfect place to get a good afternoons work done/take video calls etc. I believe it costs in or around €25 for 2 afternoons, excellent value and my husband was able to take his video calls, get work done. For anyone with doubts about the WiFi quality, my OH had calls w/his boss who was in NYC and his bosses WiFi kept dropping so Connemara 1 NYC 0 for connectivity 😂 . All in all a pretty epic week away 5*. We 100% will be back to Kylemore Lake Cottage
