Absolutely lovely little cottage in an amazing location! If you are planning a trip to Ireland, and are thinking about visiting the Connemara area, then you need to do 2 things. 1) Book this Airbnb right now 2) spend more time here than you think is necessary (one or two nights just won't do).
My Fiancee and I took our first international trip in almost 3 years, and decided to visit Ireland. We were unsure how to divide our time and decided to spend a few nights in the Connemara region.
Wow! The scenery here is completely unexpected, huge rocky mountains that cascade down to the coast, riddled with little peninsulas that jut out into the Atlantic ocean. There are so many nooks and crannies, you could spend weeks exploring this place, not to mention the unique bogland landscape and charming villages, such as Clifden, Letterfrack and Tully Cross.
But that's not even the best part. What really makes this place so amazing are the people. Rebecca and Colm are absolutely wonderful. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome and treat us to true Irish hospitality. From little pastries and a personalized note upon our arrival to sharing a an evening tea with them and learning more about this unique area. It was a true pleasure to get to know them better and it made for an extra special trip!
The cottage itself is located on their property but is still very private and only a few minute walk walk to a beautiful beach with views on the mountains and rugged coast. It is a perfect spot for a couple, and more than enough room to spread out. The interior is newly remodeled with a large kitchen and bathroom that were both spotless and well stocked. All you could ask for really!
If we ever make it back to this area, we will be staying here again!
