It truly was a gem for us. The home was bright, airy, and spotless. The kitchen was so well-organized that we never had to wonder where anything was. We spent most of our indoor time in the kitchen and dining area — the large table was perfect for meals, games, and activities.Mary was exceptionally responsive and quickly sorted out the minor issues we faced upon arrival (we came during Storm Amy, so there were a few temporary electricity and water disruptions). The beds and linens were clean and comfortable, ensuring a good night’s rest.The location is beautifully secluded, with dark skies at night — perfect for stargazing. The surroundings were truly picturesque; we only wished the weather had allowed us to enjoy dinner outdoors facing the lake.We’d definitely love to return if we visit the country again.

Great house not far from Clifden. Perfect for our trip in the Connemara region! Mary was great to work with. Would definitely stay here again. There is a drying press upstairs, this thing was great! Told Mary I want one in my house!!!!!Never used the dryer, only the drying press!!! Home was very clean. Plenty of sheep to see right outside of your door and horses too. The lake is beautiful!!!

Lovely spacious home. Huge kitchen that had all the necessary items to cook everyday. We stayed in the property for 2 weeks and cooked almost all meals there. Beds were very comfortable and excellent wi-fi service. The property location is stunning. Overlooking a lake and woods. Very peaceful and quiet. Just what we needed! There are daily visits from horses and sheep from the adjacent properties which was fabulous. We also saw herds of red deer. Overall, a superb peaceful holiday with lots of nature.

This is a beautiful, spacious home in a private quiet spot on a hill overlooking a lake. I feel we were very lucky to be able to stay here for a few days.

Gorgeous property, stunning views and the pictures really don’t do it justice. Not one but two en-suites - great when you have teenage kids! Mary has thought of everything, there are even comfy chairs by the windows so you can just relax and take in the lovely views. There are fixed tables and benches outside - perfect for watching the sun set with a glass of wine. I can’t remember when I last felt so relaxed.Bedrooms are huge and beds are so comfy. My kids said it was the best sleep they had ever had! Fully equipped kitchen with everything you could possibly need and brilliant to have a washing machine and dishwasher. There are Connemara ponies that come up to say hello when they see you and one day we even had a herd of 4 wild deer by the driveway!!Clifden is only a short drive away, and there you will find everything you need for eating out, shopping etc. Plus some beautiful beaches and Connemara National Park all close by. Mary was always brilliant at getting back to us if we had any questions, not only ahead of our arrival but also whilst we were there. Superb communication.This place really is a slice of Heaven and we can’t wait to come back again.
