Beautiful cottage with a very nice landlady. We will definitely come back.
We enjoyed sitting outside and looking out to sea with a cup of tea in hand. The cottage has everything you need for a stay, even on rainy days. It is a really peaceful place to relax with fantastic places to visit.

We had a great time staying at the cottage, it was clean and comfortable and within easy striking distance of Clifden and the local attractions. Josephine was very helpful. We would certainly like to stay again!

We had a fantastic stay at the little Sky Road cottage in Clifden! Perfectly located with a sweeping view over the water and rolling landscape with ponies, sheep and cows grazing on the hillsides. Walking distance to ruins of Clifden Castle. Great base for day trips in the area, including the Sky Road Loop Drive, Kylemore Abbey, Connemara National Park, and the Aran Islands. Plenty of restaurants and cute shops in Clifden. We were greeted warmly by the host and she provided a full tour of the cottage. Cottage had just enough space and amenities for our four-night stay. Our only notes for improvement: we wish there had been a clothes dryer, and the showers are a bit challenging to maintain water pressure and consistent heat (even when not running any other water). Thanks for a lovely stay!

Our group of 5 stayed in the lovely cottage in May. Everything was all set up for us with tea and coffee left out when we arrived.
Superb location being only 2km from town but was so quiet, spacious and relaxing.
You will not be disappointed with this beautiful cottage hosted by Josephine, so helpful on arrival and departure

Perfect for a night or two
House was very clean lovely lady to deal with we enjoyed our stay but I have teens with me and with Covid it was not easy to go out so we were cooking from here there was five of us and the fridge and oven were very poor we had to get rid of our not frozen food and the oven did not cook at all well for me when holiday home is for 7 people it needs to accommodate a good fridge /freeze and oven .. Apart from this it was excellent.. thank you I would absolutely recommend but maybe not for a family ..

Lovely house in a beautiful setting
House has everything you need and if missing anything the host was quick to provide it. Was spotlessly clean when we arrived.
Great location with stunning views. A short distance from clifden (can walk it in about 25mins) which has great restaurants.
Lovely walks and cycles direct from the house, great beaches in the area and lots to do. We could easily have stayed a second week!
One slight complaint is that the fridge is very small for 7 people and the freezer in it doesnt really work well.
However, we would definitely return.

Atemberaubende Aussicht aufs Meer
Das Ferienhaus hat eine einmalige Lage mit einem wirklich unglaublichen Blick auf die Küste, Buchten, Weiden ...
Das tröstet über den einen oder anderen Wunsch an die Ausstattung der Küche hinweg. Eine Ferienwoche mit diesem wirklichen Traumwetter (fast kein Regen, ohne Augenzwinkern!) ist Erholung pur.

Ich wollte garnicht wieder weg...
Für meinen ersten Urlaub in Irland hätte ich mir kaum einen schöneren Flecken aussuchen können.
Das Haus ist groß, sauber und gemütlich. Von der riesigen Terrasse und vom Wohnzimmer hat man einen großartigen Ausblick auf die Bucht.
Mein besonderer Dank für die herzliche Aufnahme und den überaus unkomplizierten und freundlichen Kontakt geht an Josephine. Ich werde gerne wiederkommen, wenn es meine Zeit zulässt.

Idyllic
The best thing about this property is it’s location. Fantastic views while 5 mins drive from all amenities in clifden. It was great to have all rooms ensuite. The kitchen was well stocked and everything worked. The house had good heating and even electric blankets were supplied for my elderly parents . There could be a little more Storage space in the bedrooms and bathrooms but it is manageable. WiFi is poor but then you can’t expect more when in such a remote location

Mooi uitzicht en een keurig huisje
De locatie van het huisje is adembenemend mooi. Het uitzicht over de baai en de oceaan is mooi. Het huisje is voldoende ingericht. De bedden op 1 na zijn goed. De door de eigenaresse aangebrachte voorzieningen zoals linnengoed en handdoeken zijn netjes. In de winter voelt het huis in eerste instantie wat koud aan maar door een goed vuurtje in de openhaard is het aangenaam te houden.
De eigenaresse is zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam.
