We can highly recommend staying in Connemara if you are ever visiting Ireland.
Marian was the perfect host, always ready with great tips and a friendly conversation. Marian's cottage is clean, spacious and comforatable, located out in the beautiful countryside we spent some lovely times exploring the immediate and surrounding area. Ireland really has it all, beautiful beaches, lovely towns and villages and sheep, so many sheep! :-)
It was a pleasure chatting with Marian and her family and the people we met on our travels were very friendly and always happy to help.
We can wholeheartly recommend staying at Marian's cottage and hopefully we will get the chance to come back.
