Lovely Cottage in Galway

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming cottage in Galway and I must say, it was one of the best vacation experiences I've had. The location was perfect - secluded enough to offer peace and quiet, yet still conveniently close to all the amenities of Galway city center. The cottage itself was beautifully decorated and felt warm and inviting from the moment I stepped inside. It was equipped with all the modern amenities one could need, including a fully-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and a cozy living room area with a fireplace. What really stood out to me was the attention to detail in the design and decor of the cottage. It had a rustic charm to it, with exposed beams and stone walls, but also had all the modern comforts one could want. The owner clearly put a lot of thought into the design and it really showed. The outside space was also lovely, with a patio area that was perfect. The views of the surrounding countryside were breathtaking and really added to the peaceful atmosphere. The owner was also very friendly and accommodating, and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I truly felt at home in this lovely cottage and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable vacation in Galway. I cannot wait to return!

This is a lovely cottage that was ideal for us, to explore some of the west of the Republic of Ireland. A very tidy cottage, that had all that we needed for our stay. We would certainly use again.

Wunderschön gelegenes Cottage

Wir waren wie im letzten Jahr wieder fünf Nächte im Cottage und haben es sehr genossen. Die Ruhe und die eindrucksvolle Gegend sind einmalig. Alles war perfekt und wir werden sicherlich auch ein Drittes Mal ins Inagh Valley kommen.

We got lucky our first two nights in Ireland

The countryside was amazing, and so different from most of Ireland. The cottage was so well-cared for, and clean, and had everything we needed, including cooking utensils and equipment. It was very quiet there, and close to places we wanted to see. The scenery was amazing. The hostess was wonderful.

Une magnifique expérience

Le cottage est charmant et cosy. L’environnement est incroyable et est un vrai condensé de l’image qu’on se fait du Connemara ( lacs, montagnes, moutons, chevaux…). Dolorès est une personne accueillante, attentionnée et disponible. Un séjour qui donne envie de revenir et d’y rester plus longtemps !

Excellent !! Gîte isolé dans un endroit somptueux au coeur du Connemara dans un paysage magnifique avec comme proches voisins des moutons en liberté. Un calme exceptionnel, une maison confortable et tout équipée, un très bon réseau wifi et pour le charme, une cheminée ouverte avec feu de tourbe. La propriétaire est très agréable et réactive. Nous y reviendrions avec beaucoup de plaisir

Very satisfying stay in every respect. Well maintained, well provided and homely cottage. The surrounding area is breathtakingly beautiful and the location is fairly central for exploring Connemara.
