We had a lovely short stay in the Artists cottage. Micheál and his family are great hosts, friendly and welcoming and with all the info you need. They left bread, butter, milk and eggs for us and Micheál even dropped over some briquettes for us on second day when the Irish summer turned wet and cold.
The cottage itself is lovely, rustic charm with all the mod cons you'd want. The surrounds are lovely and the Shetland ponies in the adjoining field are very friendly.
The location is great for exploring Connemara with all the major sites and attractions within an hours drive. The local pub is good for food and their a couple of scenic beaches nearby.
We would highly recommend the cottage for anyone thinking of a stay in Connemara.
