Our stay at Cnoc Suain was the most peaceful and relaxing part of our trip. We thoroughly enjoyed walking the grounds, and in the evenings sitting the fire. It felt like a trip into history, with the comforts of today. Would highly recommend!!!

The whole stay was a delightful experience. Our hostess greeted us at the door with a warm welcome and valuable information. Fresh eggs, homemade bread, and pound cake added to the personal touch. The property was fascinating with bogs and stones from an ancient circle. Needless to say, a place where one’s imagination can wander.

Everything about the listing is accurate. Eleanor was phenomenal with both checking Us in and getting us oriented to the area. Her recommendations were on point. The energy of the property is quite spectacular. The view from the top of the property is to. We will stay again.

Restful Hill rest

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Cnoc Suain cottage. It is so peaceful and relaxing. It has been one of the most enjoyable parts of our stay in Ireland. We would recommend this beautiful place to anyone looking for a cozy Irish retreat. We will definitely come again if we are in Ireland for vacation.

I wish we had stayed more than 2 nights! This cottage was cozy and beautiful. The hosts provided a variety of snacks and the property is awesome. There's no Wi-Fi or cell signal in the cottage which was a fantastic perk. My wife and I were able to enjoy nature and each other's company better than we had in a while. Not to worry though, Wi-Fi and cell service are available just up the hill at the hosts house if you want it.

Quaint cottage in the Irish countryside

This cottage checks all the boxes for a quiet stay off the beaten path in the Irish countryside. Eleanor was such a gracious host. The cottage was well appointed with supplies and very comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.

Comfortable and Cozy

We loved our stay! The cottage was cute and cozy. Perfect location for exploring Connemara and Galway. Very clean and tidy. Perfect little kitchen for preparing breakfast before a day of exploring the beautiful area. Eleanor was so helpful and kind!

Our favorite location in our Ireland vacation

This stay was absolutely wonderful. It is remote in all the right ways, allowing us to connect with the countryside without distraction while still having modern amenities. The cottage was spotlessly clean. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the property from the standing stone at the top of the hill to the bog. The host had superb communication and gave us a thorough tour along with suggestions for nearby things to do. We cannot say enough good things and hope to stay again someday!

Perfect Cottage

We had a wonderful time at this cottage. The way it has been designed is just perfect for two people. Incredibly cute and cosy with an authentic feel, but also has all the conveniences like a powerful shower, underfloor heating and washer and dryer. We enjoyed walking up behind the house for the sunset and view of the sea and exploring the local area. Thank you!

Conc Suian was a wonerful way to experience Irish culture with its beautiful native stone thatched cottages. Sitting in front of the fireplace were the most relaxing evenings of our visit to Ireland. Ellenor was a most gracious host and her father Charlie proudly described doing the amazing restoration work. The birds singing in the morning were glorious.

Dreamy Country Cottage

I can't say enough positive things about this place. The cottage is a beautiful little unit that has been built to honor the original buildings on this 300-year old farm. The in-floor heating and wood-burning stove kept us plenty warm enough, and the furnishings are just right for two. The place is clean and well-appointed, and the hosts go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed. Eleanor greeted us as we drove in to the property and proceeded to walk us through the cottage and it's amenities, which included homemade lemon cake, fresh local bread, eggs and milk, so we were set for breakfast. So nice after a long travel day. She also gave us heaps of recommendations for touring the area, which we really appreciated, as well. Just BOOK IT. You won't be sorry!

Authentisch und gemütlich!!

Wir haben uns der authentischen Unterkunft sehr wohl gefühlt und von hier einige schöne Ausflüge unternommenen (u.a. Fahrradtouren um Clifden, Galaway und natürlich die Cliffs of Moher). Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die Sauberkeit und die Gemütlichkeit der Unterkunft. WIFI oder Telefonnetz steht in der Unterkunft nicht direkt zur Verfügung. Hierfür muss man ein paar Schritte machen. Vielen Dank für den herzlichen Empfang!!

countryside cottage

We are so happy we found this property online and it was available for the timeframe we needed. Eleanor communicated from beginning to end and was a lovely host. It was a beautiful property in the countryside. You could feel the history and wondered about those that were there long ago. We wish we had more time to stay there longer on our holiday. We have already highly recommended to our friends and family if they find themselves wanting a getaway to stay here.
