Great location...panaramic view... great sunsets.. great host (Debbie)

Having previously rented many holiday homes in different locations in Ireland , I can say that Makeelan House is an outstanding property . The home itself was immaculate . The views were mesmerizing . Endless possibilities for walks and exploring the area .The home was equipped with every possible convenience and beautifully maintained and furnished . Highly recommend !

Returning to Renvyle is balm for the soul. Great communication from Debbie, Julie and Pauline. House superb. Views amazing. Great to see developing activities and eateries in the area. Highly recommended.

This is a lovely place for a holiday. Couldn't get enough of the views! Bed is very comfortable and kitchen just excellent with 2 ovens and luxury fridge! Plenty to do in the area or just lazy on the sofa... beaches and hills, no traffic noise, just great stuff!

Upon arrival tears filled my eyes! The property was more than I expected and just what I needed to Refill my coffers. Every morning and every days end reminded me to let it all go and enjoy the solitude of stunning environment around me. Debbie was amazing and hope to enjoy more time with her in the future. The house was super comfortable and had everything one would need and more. I would highly recommend this property and…Julie the owner was super responsive and attentive.

Debbie was the kindest and most lovely people we could have hoped for when checking in! She stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed and to answer any questions. She went above and beyond!! The house is absolutely gorgeous and the scenery and view are just what we had hoped for. Nothing soothes the soul like the ocean. Lovely home. Beautiful landscape. Kind and patient people. We could not have asked for better!!

Beautiful house in a fantastic setting. Spectacular views. The house is a great size for a family holiday and everything in it that you need for a home away from home. We couldn't recommend this house more highly.

Makeelan House is an absolutely fabulous home - the location of the house is idyllic. The views from every room are amazing - whatever way you look they stop you in your tracks! It is the perfect base for a holiday in Connemara as it is very close to several gorgeous beaches,, Connemara National Park, Kylemore Abbey & Clifden to name but a few places. The house has absolutely everything you could think of & need in a home away from home & it is so spacious. Julie the host was extremely helpful to us & her sister Debbie gave our family such a warm welcome on our arrival - something that will stay in our minds in the future. We would love to come back again at some time in the future.

This is an absolutely stunning property. Panoramic views of the ocean and mountains. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Accommodations were spotless. All the conveniences we could want. Truly a magnificent spot and a beautiful home. We hope to return.

Wish we could have stayed longer

The views from the sun-room and the kitchen are what really make this place special - it's just a shame that the weather doesn't always oblige! The house is well-equipped and perfect for groups of up to 8 people. Julie (owner) and Sinead (caretaker) were both very welcoming and very helpful. We would definately return! Thanks for a great stay!

Absolutely love this home from home! Our little 5 year old boy loves “his holiday home!” The views are some of the best we have experienced anywhere in the world, and we both love the massive kitchen! Looking forward to our next visit already! Thanks again Julie!

Truly an amazing stay at this property. The views are beyond compare and the kitchen is huge...more than enough space for our 7 folks. Loved the grill - we bbq'ed on July 4th ! We had issues with our rental card and the property manager Sinead, was a great help in pointing us to someone local. Tons of material in the house for things to do. Just a remarkable location.

This is such a comfortable beautifully clean and well appointed house. I can’t even begin to describe the views. They are ever changing from the sea to the mountains- fantastic. This is a rare experience to find exactly what the advert for the Cottage says, is reality. The owner and the housekeeper are in touch and the directions are spot on . They have provided detailed sheets for the tv, video etc, and a box full of places to go and things to do. Definitely would love to come back.

I am so happy to have had the opportunity to return to Makeelan House. The lovely spacious rooms, gorgeous views made for a relaxing enjoyable visit. Thank you.

We were so lucky to have stumbled upon this property on the Renvyle Peninsula! Julie's home is absolutely lovely and with the utmost in comfort for our stay. The views were breathtaking, and we were able to explore the beautiful Connemara region easily from her location. Sinead was so helpful and was very accomodating with our late arrival. Nearby Paddy Coyne's was a favorite for wonderful food and staff. Our only regret is that we were unable to stay for another week! Thank you Julie!

Julie and Sinead were very welcoming and responsive to any concerns. This house truly has the best views in the entire village. We will go back for sure!

This is one of the most spacious, beautiful and well-equipped houses anyone could dream of renting. For people like us who generally shy away from the modern, forget your prejudices because what Makeelen House loses in history it gains in convenience, style and, of course, location. With 3 bathrooms and a separate toilet, a wonderful conservatory-style lookout room, a cosy lounge and bedrooms galore, a dream cook's kitchen more than amply stocked with goodies and appliances and a dining area fit for the biggest family, it would be a dream house in any location. But it is NOT in any location. It is perched on a hill looking North with the conservatory sitting area to the West, so across the blue islands, from the coziness of this room, wind whistling outside, it would be next stop Canada! This is Ardnagreevagh on the Renvyle Peninsula in Connemara amongst the loughs, mountains and little winding roads of Western Ireland on the Wild Atlantic Way. Just down the road in Tully is a little supermarket with a real live butcher to serve you meat and the most unlikely gem of a hardware store. A bit further along is Tully Cross with a couple of pubs and a lovely 20th Century church with stained glass by Harry Clarke. For more supplies we drove to Letterfrack on the edge of the National Park. The majesty, tragedy and history of Kylemore Abbey is not to be missed and is only a few miles away. Even the Towns of Galway and Clifden are not too far from this wonderful spot and well worth a visit. Wherever you go, you come home to this amazing house on the hill, stand outside in the wind and wish that you could stay forever!

Loved our 2nd stay at Makeleen house. Besides the outstanding views the house is also very clean and has all the mod cons you’ll need. Comfortable beds, beautiful nearby beaches and friendly locals down at Paddy Coyne’s makes this our favorite vacation spot in Ireland. Had family over from Tipperary this time and they loved this corner of their island as well. Highly recommend a visit to Kylemore Abbey and Connemara National Park along with Walsh’s Bakery in Clifden. Thanks to Sinead for being so accommodating when our arrival was delayed due to a late plane but it was no bother to her. Thanks again for a wonderful relaxing vacation.

The best comment I can make about our recent stay at Makeelan House in Connemara is that I can't wait to go back! We are already discussing plans for next year. The sunrise coming into the master bedroom is unforgettable. Eating at the kitchen bar overlooking the Atlantic wow! The people of Tully, Tullycross, Letterfrack and Clifden are wonderful and we had many enjoyable meals in the pubs and restaurants. The house is very well equipped and very modern. We had everything we needed except for a coffee pot and we are big coffee drinkers but made do with tea. Both the owner and caretaker are very accessible for questions or concerns. Great experience!

ALWAYS MY FAVORITE PLACE IN IRELAND!! Every detail is planned for comfort..lovely decor, well equipped kitchen and unbelievably beautiful ocean view! Judy Finnerty

Loved the house been back numerous times. Perfection! Will be coming again.

Absolutely amazing stay. House was perfect. Views unbelievable. Fully equipped house, particularly loved the shower and the ice maker!

Even better than it looked online

Wow! What a place! Great location with views to die for! First time for us in Ireland and certainly not the last! The house is spacious and beautifully furnished and fitted out. The kitchen is indeed a chefs dream! Thanks to Julie, Debbie and Sinead for all of your help and looking after us! We will return! The Andersons

Amazing views beautiful well maintained home, cannot wait to return!

I think as it's our 4th time in a row to Makeelan house it probably sums up just how much we love the house and the area. The house continues to be kept up to an extremely high Spec ...exceptionally clean and incredibly spacious. Sinead your on hand go to woman is there to give advice about shopping what to do and the weather..nothing is to much trouble for her.. So we will be returning...we just love it . Catherine Dillon

This is a beautiful, spacious home with breathtaking views of the open ocean from every room. The kitchen is well equipped, and the owner is extremely responsive to guest requests. This was the first of 6 homes that we rented in Ireland and our only regret is that we didn't rent it last as the Grand Finale of our trip :)

We received a very warm welcome on our arrival. This beautiful 5 star house offers every comfort. The views from the kitchen diner are truly mesmerizing and we spent most of our evenings watching the sun set over the ocean with a nice glass of wine. We all enjoyed our time in this beautiful area of Ireland and would love to come back again. Our top tip; bring a camera and have it to hand, as the weather changes at a moments notice and so do the views. This house is a real gem!

Beautiful home, high on a hill, overlooking green fields and the sea! Perfect! The house was well equipped and one wanted for nothing. Sinead and Debby were helpful and delightful to talk with! Thank you, Julie & Family for sharing this wonderful home!

Where to I begin with how wonderful Julie's home was? Julie and her housekeeper Sinead were both incredibly helpful and caring from the time I booked the trip and beyond. We arrived very late due to some airport and GPS issues, and when we arrived the lights were left on for us with the key in the door. As soon as I walked in, I noticed a handy property information book, and I connected seamlessly to the Wifi. Immediately, there were messages from Julie waiting for me asking if we were okay. She was truly concerned to make sure that we made it to the home safely, and even though it was so late, she responded and welcomed us to her home. The next day, Sinead arrived and showed us all around the very spacious home to explain how everything worked. She was a sweetheart, and she made everything easy for us to operate. The home itself has the most beautiful views of the Atlantic with large bay windows and a spacious and modern feel. Every appliance, piece of cookware etc. we needed was available in the beautiful kitchen, and our bedrooms were cozy with lots of room for storage and warm, fluffy blankets. The home had more than enough space for a family of four and could actually accommodate a much larger group with several bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. There was a large dining table (overlooking the ocean as well) and a wonderful sitting room where we enjoyed nights in watching movies and listening to the wild Atlantic wind. The views were absolutely stunning, the house had everything we could possibly need, and the customer service from Julie was amazing. She even gave me recommendations for airport hotels in Dublin prior to our flight home. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, and we even met her kind and helpful sister who lives just down the way on one of our walking adventures. We never felt more at home away from home before, and we will definitely return to this magnificent home again. Julie and Sinead, we cannot thank you enough for making our stay so comfortable and providing such a stunning home for us to share.
