If you're looking for a true off-the-beaten-path experience in Connemara, Suzanne's lovely cottage is for you! It's quiet (except for the occasional charming moo from her family cows) and the nearby beaches on Mweenish Island are spectacular.
Suzanne and her family are perhaps the most hospitable people I've ever stayed with. They made sure I had everything I needed, even making wonderful bread and homemade rhubarb jam for breakfast.
I cannot recommend Suzanne's place highly enough, and you won't find warmer or kinder people to stay with anywhere!
