Mary and Alan were such welcoming, warm, informative and lovely hosts. Their cottage along with their hospitality fits the exact image of Irish charm and beauty. The cottage is set near the sea- ( do not miss the walk to watch sunset and see the seals!). We were welcomed with homemade bread, scones, jam, coffee & tea. The beds, bath and accommodations are perfect for 3-5. They offered us their best route for traveling around the Connemara and where to eat & hear music. Outstanding. When we left we took pictures together and Mary sent us with a delicious batch of butter cookies.
