The chalet is lovely and completely met our needs for our 6-night stay. Monique was very welcoming and thoughtfully gave us a bottle of wine on our arrival. There is a lovely, secluded beach 10 minutes walk from the chalet. Coral Strand is a short drive away, and has lovely scenery and a coastal walk. It’s less than an hour’s drive to Leenaun and Killary Fjord. Stunningly rugged, but beautiful scenery abounds in Connemara. The people in the village of Carraroe are very friendly and helpful, and although everyone speaks English, it is respectful to speak a few words in Irish, if you can, as it is a Gaeltacht area. The Eurospar supermarket in the village is great and has everything.
