Beautiful and Kind Host. Cottage had everything we needed and super clean. Private yet easy to get to anywhere from here. Book this for your next stay in the West of Ireland!
We arrived to find a fresh loaf of brown bread and scones. The host also left us milk, jam, butter and an assortment of tea and coffee. We immediately felt welcome. Our stay ran into storm Eowyn and the hosts brought over a propane heater and a campfire stove for cooking. 5 stars doesn’t cover the care and concern they showed us. We will be back for sure!
Wir wurden trotz unserer späten Ankunft sehr herzlich von Ann Marie mit Scones und selbstgebackenem Brot empfangen. Unsere Tage in dem perfekt ausgestatteten netten Ferienhaus in dem kleinen Ort, den Garten/Sitzplatz mit Blumen, die Ruhe und die Nähe zum Meer haben wir sehr genossen. Das Ferienhaus ist sehr geräumig, aber dank des schönen Wetters waren wir meistens unterwegs. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit!
Das Chalet hat eine tolle Lage als Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge und Wanderungen. Wer Ruhe sucht, ist hier ebenfalls richtig.
Es fehlt nichts an der Ausstattung, Bad, Küche und die anderen Räume sind mit allen Annehmlichkeiten ausgestatt.
Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Es gab Tipps für Ausflüge und wir wurden mit selbstgebackenem Brot und Scones von Ann Marie verwöhnt.
Eine tolle Woche!
Unser Aufenthalt im Chalet in Carna
war sehr, sehr schön.
Anne-Marie hat uns sehr herzlich empfangen. Sie und Ihr Mann sind sehr hilfs bereit.
Das Haus ist groß und geräumig.
Wir waren zu zweit, so dass wir den oberen Stock nicht gebraucht haben.
Ansonsten ist im Haus alles vorhanden was man braucht. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Carna ist ein sehr guter Ausgangspunkt um das Connemara kennenzulernen.
Viele herzliche Grüße und alles Gute für die Zukunft.
