The five of us loved our stay at Salmon Cottage. The views from every room in the house were magnificent. The house has everything you need to stay. The red book withall the manuals for everything in the house was extremely useful for us as the appliances are just a little different from what we use in the US. We enjoyed our evenings by the warm fire watching the sun set over the bay. The house was in a perfect spot to get out and explore all around Connemara. Clifden wasn't too far away for grabbing food, drinks, wood, and other supplies. We also really appreciated having the washer and dryer for our clothes. That allowed us to pack lighter for our trip and not have so many bags to lug around. Overall, it was the perfect place to finish our holiday here in Ireland. We hope to make it back to Salmon Cottage for another holiday in the future.

Bridget, views over the bay from every room is exactly what makes that corner of Connemara special, and a fire at sunset sounds like the right way to close out a holiday. Glad the red book and the laundry made packing lighter. The cottage will be here whenever you are back.

Excellent cottage with a spectacular view

It is a fantastic cottage with an ocean view that can rarely be achieved. If you like an environment where you can only hear the singing of birds, the whistling of the wind and the noise of the sea, this is the right place. Ann, the person in charge of the house, will do everything possible to make sure you are happy to be there, available 24/7 if you require anything. The cottage has perfect equipment, good heating and a fireplace to make you enjoy your stay.

Cottage on the water

A beautiful setting and a stunning view of the water and of the shoreline. High and low tide brings different kinds of beauty and interest. The cottage is quiet and tranquil and there are stunning views from every room. Plenty of space for a large group and a lovely space with lots of room for just a couple of people. The cottage was well appointed for preparing meals at home with all the basics (pots and pans, spices and a package of coffee) available upon arrival. The cottage is about 20 minutes from the town of Roundstone which was a place where we could pickup supplies and also have a great dinner at one of the local pubs/restaurants. Wonderful location for hiking, biking and exploring the magnificent beauty of the Connemara. I had support from the property manager when I needed a little advice and yet we had all the privacy that we wanted. For me, this was at the top of my list for a holiday. We had plenty of activities available to us along with the comfort of the cottage and a convenient location. It was a perfect spot to enjoy the treasures of the Wild Atlantic Way.

Stunning

The house was stunning, loads of space for dinning and enjoyed sitting in the large sitting room together. Wonderful views from the dinning table. A beautiful designed house. Would love to go back in the Summer!

A sweet little comfy hidey hole In Connemara

We arrived to a lovely view of the bay...a warm house as Morgan (local), had put the heat on and left us a very substantial welcome pack, with plenty of tea, coffee, milk and even a lovely soda bread, butter and jams. We spent 4 lovely nights and days just chilling. The hound loved it too and was tuned into the surroundings by his 2nd day and happy to roam down the back as far as the stones to the sea shore would allow, (under his Mama's watchful eye of course!) All the beds were really solid and comfortable with lovely linen, plenty of towels as well. The boot room at the front door was a great idea as we obviously got soaked on more than one walk! So the cupboard for drying is a great idea and stuff gets turned around really quickly. It's like a large 'Flately' dryer of old, if anyone remembers them!! The kitchen was stocked with pretty much everything you would need in terms of glasses, crocks and pots and pans. There was plenty of staples in the cupboard for cooking regarding oils and even some baking staples if you were so inclined! We normally always bake a birthday cake when we are away for my birthday but someone was on strike this year! I still got cake from a lovely cafe in Clifden. Delicious! The views are amazing from the cottage and we had a great evening Day 2, as the day was so bright and sunny, watching the sun go down, drinking sun downers and waiting for stars to come out for my birthday, after a long walk at Dogs Bay, Roundstone. The stars didn't disappoint, what a magnificent display! No light pollution so on a clear light you get the Ireland of old ... displaying every wonder the night sky has to offer. Beautiful. I am sure in November shooting stars would be visible too. The back terrace makes a lovely sun trap too as we discovered that morning at breakfast. Very sheltered and warm. Inside, there is a good size lounge separate to the kitchen / dining area, with lots of comfy seats and sofas and a big open fire. (The house almost completely faces the ocean bay views). Get plenty of logs as it takes a few to get it really pumping. Also an open fire in the kitchen too, a little hard to light this one. I would say the draft isn't as good so get some firelighters, we kept forgetting them at the shop! The house is old, but very nicely and relatively newly done inside with 4 good sized beds and 2 bathrooms. The outside doesn't do it justice really. Inside it is light, airy, yet cosy... it has the feel of an artists hideaway... which I believe it may have been. If you want a little bit of peace and quiet, read a book, paint, potter, or just watch the landscape change as the weather does, this is a lovely place to stay.
