We had a great time staying at Carmel's place. It was very comfortable and we enjoyed watching the children ride horses and the Vietnamese Potbelly Pig at the back door on the last morning was a highlight of our entire trip to Ireland. We will mention in passing that we had a great time hearing music and playing pool at the local pub. Natural beauty was astounding. Loved hiking in the Connemara National Park (Diamond Hill) and the coastal areas around this place make it an amazing place to stay. It would be a very nice place for larger families - this house a number of rooms - one room has a crib. Many thanks to Carmel and Ron.
