Fantastic location and views
The cottage is in a perfect location for exploring this part of Connemara. The views across to Omey island are the perfect way to start the day over breakfast in the conservatory. All the communication and information was excellent - lots of ideas of things to do and even a phone number for the farmer who sells turf. We were delighted when the turf arrived and loved having a roaring fire in the evenings - we needed it as the cottage was quite cold. The conservatory nicely warmed up in the sun but the bedroom remained cold throughout our stay - we could have asked how to put the heating on but instead used the blankets we found in the wardrobe. Its not the most comfortable house - the living room furniture is very hard, as are the conservatory chairs so its not good if you want to read and relax. We wished we'd taken our own pillows... The kitchen was well equipped and clean and the shower was hot. The house was fairly clean but there was a build up of dust on, around, and under the furniture and doors. Great walks from the door to and around Omey island, we took the ferry to fantastic Inishbofin, drove on the Sky Road/ West Atlantic Way and swam at beautiful beaches when it wasn't too windy. Glad we stocked up on staples before we arrived. The shop had limited stock. It's a beautiful area for a holiday but we decided we'd prefer a bit more comfort in the seating and beds after long days walking. Great holiday but we might look for a different cottage another time. Would recommend for location and facilities but not if you're looking for relaxed comfort.

Off to a bad start
On arrival at the property we discovered the agent was not expecting us so the house key was not there and after several phone calls we eventually got in when the house keeper arrived. The house had not been cleaned and no beds made up. The fridge was dirty and no loo paper or kitchen paper etc supplied. The agent did give us a refund in fairness but 1st impressions are so important. Also we had no TV or microwave available

Great base for exploring connemara
The cottage at claddaghduff was very quaint and surprisingly cosy and comfortable. Our 2 small kids loved the idea of the tatch roof and keeping an eye out over the fabulous view of Omey strand to see if the tide was in or out!!
They never once missed the TV and its absence contributed in a really memorable family holiday. The walk down to Omey strand and to Sweeneys shop and bar are just perfect. WIFI is extremely good...
House was very well kitted out and had everything we needed for our stay. Beds and bedding were super cosy and everywhere just felt really clean and fresh when we arrived.
Only a couple of points I think needed attention in the house....the central heating didn't work at all during our stay...didnt cause us many problems as the weather was mild and only a few damp days but once Sept comes it would be a different story. Hot water was working perfect though so no issues with that. The other thing was the fridge...not sure that it is working properly as we had to through quite abit of spoiled food...
All said I would definitely stay again
Connemara Costal Cottages were so good to deal with, it was a pleasure to deal with real people and not a booking platform

Beautiful location
Great location however some comfort upgrading needed. The sitting room was extremely uncomfortable. The chairs and sofa need replacing as they were so low to the ground. The fire doesn't heat the room at all but looks nice. The heating didn't work and the guy we phoned said " we are used to the cold around here" lived 20 miles away and had no intention of popping over to try and sort it. Probably because we were leaving the following day? Luckily we had good weather for 5 day's so jumpers sufficed during the rain and wind! No microwave but plenty of space for one. Get the heating fixed and a new sofa and I'll be back!
