Fermoyle Lodge in the Connemara region of Ireland needs to be on your bucket list! Ireland is a beautiful country and the Lodge is a fantastic place to call home base during your visit. It is set in a somewhat remote area on the grounds of a beautiful manor home so you have your privacy but only 20 -25 minutes to all things that make the west coast of Ireland so special (beautiful mountains, lakes, quaint ocean side towns, castles and of course the pubs!). Mary and John have refurbished what was the Gatekeepers house on the property with fine distinction. The interior is very tastefully decorated and you have all the amenities you need to make for a memorable stay (fireplace in the kitchen, living room and both bedrooms, along with a fully equipped kitchen and rain shower in the bathroom). The little touches simply are the cherry on the top (homemade blueberry bread waiting for us, fresh flowers in each room, logs in the fireplace and homemade chutney as we departed). Mary and John provided wonderful recommendations throughout our visit for places to go and see as well as restaurants/pubs to check out which were all on point and extremely helpful as this was our first visit to Ireland, but wont be out last! If you are looking for a relaxed vacation in a beautiful country, at a lovely cottage with wonderful hosts, Fermoyle Lodge in the Connemara region of Ireland is awaiting your arrival!
