Beautiful and peaceful location, lovely views, spacious, comfortable and well-equipped house, big garden. A fantastic area for hill and valley walking, swimming, cycling, music evenings in the local pub, stargazing - just what we like! Our hosts Mary and Hugh were so helpful, easy to contact, and a mine of useful info on local attractions.

Das Haus ist sehr großzügig und ideal für einen entspannten. Urlaub. Da genügend Bade- und Schlafzimmer da sind, könnte man auch problemlos mit befreundeten Familien dort unterkommen. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und Hilfsbereit. Ich kann das Haus nur empfehlen.

We had a very pleasant stay. The house is very spacious, has very nice views on the surrounding area and is well-equiped. It’s very quiet - you hear nothing but the sheep. Perfect location to explore Connemara. Mary has been very helpful and friendly in all our communication.

My family and I had a lovely stay at Mary's house in Finny, Ireland. Not only is the home large and accommodating, but the views are spectacular. Mary was also very accommodating by making herself available at anytime if we had any problems. Mary went out of her way to make sure that my family and I had the best vacation experience possible. I wouldn't hesitate to spend another vacation here.

Freundliche und hilfsbereite Besitzer. Geräumiges, sehr gut ausgestattes Haus. Trotz der Abgeschiedenheit ein guter Ausgangspunkt um die nähere und weitere Umgebung zu erkunden. Wir hatten eine tolle, aber zu kurze Woche.

Een geweldig ruim huis in een mooi, rustig gelegen klein dorp. Van alle gemakken voorzien. Een goed vertrekpunt voor verschillende uitstapjes naar steden maar ook voor wandelingen.

Stayed here in springtime with friends and we will definitely be back! The house was as described, found the house using the directions given with no trouble. The house was very clean and had a good stock of basics (salt, spices, tea bags etc). Plenty of cups, plates for everyone which was great as we didn't have to wash them after each use. We were greeted by the host who is from the area and she was able to give plenty of options for walking and hiking- the nicest one we did one morning as the sun was coming up we followed the lane the house is on which leads you to a base of small moutain (about 1km away) the scenery only got better as we went up! This is a great place for anyone that loves the outdoors, on the rainy days we stayed in read books and board games. We had some great daytrips to Cong- a quaint little village, Kylemore Abbey, Galway and driving around Connemara. Nearby there is a little shop which has all essentials and there is a pub a couple of mile away. We were lucky to catch some music there on the sunday night.

Het huis is heel groot waardoor het gemakkelijk door 8 mensen bewoond kan worden, mede door drie badkamers, een aparte ruimte met TV, ruime woonkeuken en huiskamer. Wasmachine, droger, bijkeuken, boeken en dvd's: alles draagt ertoe bij dat huurders hier een comfortabele tijd door kunnen brengen. Ondanks de grootte is het toch ook een heel gezellig huis en het biedt prachtig uitzicht op de omringende bergen. De omgeving is erg mooi; er is genoeg te doen om er weken te kunnen doorbrengen. De mensen van de winkel vlakbij zijn heel behulpzaam wanneer dat nodig is. Het enige dat ons tegenviel zijn de hoge energiekosten die na afloop van ons verblijf betaald moesten worden. Wij (met 2 personen) moesten na één week € 106,- betalen voor olie en elektriciteit terwijl we een week ervoor in een ander deel van Ierland slechts € 12,50 betaald hebben. Dat is dus iets om rekening mee te houden.

We stayed with our family here for a week in May. The house is amazing, comfortable and spotlessly clean. It is in a rural location and is very peaceful. We heard the cuckoos and sheep and not much else. The area is simply beautiful and there are great walks and hikes in every direction, even a laneway behind the house that leads up a mountain! We visited Cong village, and walked around the ruins of the abbey and surrounding woodlands, it took our breath away. We did some sightseeing in Galway city and stopped off in Peacockes Hotel in Maam Cross on the way back - well worth a visit for some gift shopping! The shop in Finny village is well stocked for all your needs. The owner communicated well with us before and during our stay, and answered our questions in a timely fashion. I love that we had a "self service" check in , so we could arrive at any time, the keys were left available to us and the information folder was a great help. We hope to come back next year to this peaceful, magical place.

Schönes Willkommensgeschenk. Die Hausübergabe hat nicht ganz optimal geklappt. Angenehmer Aufenthalt. Im Haus sind die Duschen resp. das Warmwasser etwas sanierungdbedürftig und die Abläufe sollten entstopft werden. Die restlichen Räume und Zimmer sind gemütlich und gut ausgestattet. Wir hatten einen angenehmen Aufenthalt und wurden durch die Besitzer per E-MAIL liebenswürdig informiert und gut dokumentiert.

Nachdem wir von den Besitzern sehr freundlich empfangen und eingewiesen wurden, konnten wir eine Woche entspannen. Traumhafte Lage in einem ruhigen sehr kleinen Dorf mit tollen Wanderwegen direkt vom Haus aus. Auch mit dem Rad haben wir viele Ausflüge in direkter Umgebung gemacht. Angeln am Lough Mask oder Lough NaFooey war auch super und mit dem Auto nicht weit... Wir waren zu viert im Haus und es war super ausgestattet mit viel Platz. (3 Räder, Airhockey, Spiele, DVDs, Bücher, etc.) Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder und können die Bencorragh Lodge uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Wir waren mit 6 Erwachsenen im Haus. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und gut ausgestattet. Die Landschaft in und um Finny ist einfach wunderschön. Als Begrüßungsgeschenk stand für uns eine Flasche Wein bereit, welche wir direkt am ersten Abend getrunken haben. Wir haben im Vorfeld genügend Informationen von Mary zur Umgebung und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten bekommen. Dafür nochmald danke.

Spent a lovely time in Bencorragh lodge September 2010. The house was exactly as described on the website and even better ! Well equipped with spices, start up supplies of toiletries, shampoos etc . Owners were most helpful and answered all our questions on arrival and gave us lots of useful information before coming. There were lots of interesting books, a decent dvd collection, and board games and also an air hockey table ! The owners tell me they are hoping to have broadband next year which although not essential, will be welcome for people who need to keep in touch. The house was an ideal base for touring to Cong, Westport, Galway, Clifden, and we even went to Sligo to see the tombs at Carrowmore. But if you never leave the area, Finney itself is very relaxing, and ideal for walking, hill walking and using the excellent bicycles (3) which are provided free of charge. We re- discovered our bike legs and cycled to Cong and Leenane. The local shop is only a 3 minute walk away for essentials and they have a lovely tea shop with amazing chocolate "turf" cake. I have no hesitation recommending this lovely house and location, and hope to return soon .

"Questo lodge l'avevamo affittato già a dicembre per la nostra vacanza di 9 giorni in Irlanda. Purtroppo a causa del vulcano islandese abbiamo dovuto spostare le date di una settimana e così abbiamo pernottato solo 4 notti perché dal 1 maggio era occupato da un'altra famiglia. E' un ottimo lodge, grande e con tutte le comodità situato in un posto tranquillo in mezzo al verde tra laghi e montagne. Dobbiamo ringraziare la proprietaria, che abbiamo avuto il piacere di conoscere a Sligo, il marito, la sorella, i proprietari dello shop, l'idraulico che è venuto alle 22,30 per un problema con l'acqua calda ecc. Un'ottima casa vacanze pulita e in un posto stupendo, per una vacanza splendida. Ciao
