We had an amazing time in the An Tigh Padraig Watt house.
First of all, I can hardly emphasize enough what a helpful host Marie Therese proved to be, as she made herself available to all our queries, and was eager to give us tips regarding the local attractions (one can truly tell how much she loves the area herself).
The house itself is just fantastic, with warmth and character, very comfortable, ideal for relaxed evenings (we loved the reading room, and the three of us happened to spend 2 leisury evenings devouring our books).
Although we had been to the Connemara before, we never spent time in the Carraroe area.
It is just beautiful, and embodies so much of what the Connemara and have best to offer, with its wild and raw landscapes, marrying the natural ruggedness of its land with the majesty of its shores.
At the heart of the Gaeltacht, it is a place still rooted in its most beautiful traditions, where Irish is still the main spoken language, and where the Galway hookers (traditional Irish boats) are still seen sailing in the Galway Bay.
All in all, we had a truly marvellous and relaxing stay, and can't wait to be back to An Tigh Padraig Watt!
