Comfortable and cosy stay in Connemara
We stayed in this cottage (that had three bedrooms and three ensuite bathrooms) for a week. We had originally booked it with possibility that there would be five staying in three bedrooms. In the end it was just three of us using two bedrooms so it was great that we could all have our own bathroom! Although the cottage could comfortably sleep six (two double bedrooms plus one twin bedded room) the lounge/dining area may be a bit cramped for six people as there were only four dining chairs and a two-seater sofa with two armchairs.
The cottage was well presented with nice fixtures and fittings. The showers were hot and the beds were comfortable. We arrived late at night and the next morning we noticed a slight issue with a leaking sink that caused a puddle in one of the ensuite bathrooms. This was fixed later that same day after we reported it.
The TV was Wi-Fi enabled and limited to apps based TV viewing as it wasn’t near to the TV aerial socket.
The kitchen area is a little compact and has a quirky layout, but it had a decent single oven, microwave and fridge/freezer. Tea towels, kitchen roll and washing up liquid were provided and there were lots of crockery, cutlery and glassware. There was also an abundance of spare toilet roll so there was no need to buy extra supplies!
We cooked some meals during our stay and there was a selection of saucepans and lids available. One frying pan was quite worn, with the enamel coating badly damaged so we avoided using it and reported it on our return home so it could be replaced for future guests.
We really enjoyed staying here and appreciated the peace and quiet after long days exploring. The cottage was cosy and comfortable, and it works well if you’re happy to cook some meals yourself, as eating out requires driving elsewhere. The road to Clifden is quite winding so not preferable to do late at night.
The Country Shop in Letterfrack (a 5-minute drive away) is well stocked with everyday essentials, making it easy to pick up anything locally. There is also a good SuperValu supermarket in Clifden with free parking that also stocks a selection of local Irish produce too.
