Seamus's place is homely, comfortable and very well equipped — we didn't want for anything. The cottage is extremely well located in a peaceful spot on the edge of Cashel Bay, with a small harbour opposite. When the weather is good the local kids go swimming from the harbour.
The cottage has excellent WiFi and Now TV, which you can use to login into you're own Amazon Prime or Netflix accounts — but don't forget to logout before you leave!
What a beautiful location! The town of Roundstone is a short drive (about 20 mins) away. It has a couple of small shops, a good pub and a few restaurants. It's very picturesque. We took a sea fishing trip from here with Pat Conneely which was superb. You only need a few hours with Pat to catch more fish than you could possibly eat. We caught pollock and mackerel. Sea to plate in just a few hours!
For regular supplies you can get anything you need in Clifden.
Connemara is a place to drive around but there's a lot to see within easy reach. The mountains are stunning and the coast line is beautiful.
We recommend a walk along to the Alcock and Brown monument and Marconi site at Derrygimla. It's an nice, easy walk with really interesting interpretation along the way.
Dogs Bay and Gurteen Bay have THE most beautiful beaches but get very busy when the sun is out. We also went on a cloudy day when it was quiet and really enjoyed the walk along one beach, around the rocky headland and back along the other beach.
Head south for stunning but quieter beaches. Seamus will tell you where the best spots are — he was great at answering any question. We just sent a text and got a reply back very quickly.
Overall, we can't fault Seamus's Place and absolutely loved Connemara. Would not hesitate to book again.
