A hidden gem in the Connemara Isles, is Brid and Michael's chalet. It's an adventure just getting there, but the eircode directs you straight to the door.
We arrived with the arrival of wind and rain (tail end of storm off the Atlantic) which made walks and the scenery, fields and view of the water, absolutely beautiful.
The chalet had a fully equipped kitchen and a snug sitting room, with the sleeping area upstairs. Despite the howling wind and rain through the night, we were snug and warm. We came out of season, so didn't eat out but there is a friendly supermarket a short drive away.
If the weather permits, we recommend the Connemara Isles golf course (20min drive), a stunning setting and luckily no one saw how bad/fantastic we were.
Otherwise the walks are too good to be missed and Galway/Clifden are easy to get to.
The only disappointment was our stay was too short. We're planning to return so we can stay longer.
Thoroughly recommend.
Thank you Brid and Michael
