In our three weeks of travel, this was one of the outstanding highlights. The cottage is well-appointed, clean, cosy. There is a compound of several such cabins nested around the grounds, which are ample. Charlie pointed us to a farmer's market on the way in and we bought fresh produce (amazing potatoes), cheese and eggs and could assemble great breakfasts and a hiking lunch. The cabin made for a super launching pad for an exploration of Connemara. Because the cottages are out in the countryside, we felt we were really "in it" - and Spiddal was only a short drive away.
Charlie and Dearbhaill were kind, friendly, and available, but not intrusive (we met them at their house on the grounds at the beginning and end of the stay.
Highly recommended.
