We loved our stay in Niamh's house. The house is absolutely amazing, very cosy inside with everything you need to feel confortable (TV, ipod dock, cooking elements, etc.), and the views are just incredible! You see the lakes, the hill, the cows, and the sheeps from the living room, and really feel that the you are at the heart of the beautiful Connemara...
The house is perfectly located to visit the region if you have a car: it is isolated (which is perfect for walks, and getting the feeling of the nature), though not to far (3km) from the center of a very nice village where you can find everything you need (supermarket, pubs, fishing trips, horse riding, etc.), at 20 min from Galway at 30 min from Rossaveal (departure from Aran islands) and 50 min from the entrance of the "official" Connemara national park (althought as you are already in the heart of the Connemara region you do not need to go that far).
We unfortunately didn't have the chance to meet our hosts in person, but they really made us feel confortable, arranged everything for us (babycot, laundry, etc.), and gave us all useful information needed. Thank you very much, we will definitly come back if we have the chance!
