The electric was not on and we were told to ask the neighbor since the owner did not live in the country. It was quite confusing and frustrating. We never had internet and had to choose between heating the living areas or the bedrooms. Cannot honestly recommend this cottage to American travelers who are not accustomed to paying electric prior to staying
Beautiful location on the water. Fireplace for turf fires. Basic accommodations but basic is all you need in such a fantastic locality. The folks in Carna were accommodating. Be careful while driving here - but you probably already know that.
Nous avons passé de magnifiques vacances dans cette très belle en bord de mer. Très beau jardin donnant sur une petite plage. Vue superbe à partir du séjour.
A very nice house with charm. It is very cozy and we felt very comfortable. The technology for electricity and hot water is a bit special, but that doesn't matter. The garden and the view of the bay directly from the large windows in the living room are fantastic.
Excellent location by the coast and view of the Connemara mountains.
The only negative being for pet owners, to beware of the dogs at the adjoining property, if they are out of their cage they could attack your pet, as happened to ours.
Our family stayed at this lovely home for a few nights during our 2 week holiday to Ireland. The cottage is quaint with it's traditional decor and lovely homey feel. Check in was a breeze and communication with the owner was great. The real clincher and the reason we will most certainly be back is the gardens around the property and the VIEW. Incredible. I wish we'd had more time to enjoy it! Thank you for hosting us!

Beautiful location!!
We enjoyed our time here and the location and view truly cannot be beat! To address some items mentioned in others reviews:
When we got there there was a musty smell, as others have mentioned, but it did get better over our time there. The heat was off and it was extremely cold on our arrival, and I feel like living there and keeping it warmed up helped the situation.
There is a small fishing operation off shore (3 rings) but in our opinion it doesn’t detract at all from the ambiance. It is really beautiful and we actually enjoyed seeing the activity.
You do have to pay as you go for electric online. Not ideal, but also not a problem. We found it easy to figure out and spent €50 for our four day stay. We did laundry and were fairly liberal with the heat so it could have been less.
All in all we enjoyed with our time here and got to know the neighbors who were super nice. It was a special experience and we will look back on it fondly. I addressed those few items because I remember reading about them in the reviews before we booked and appreciated when others spoke to those things impartially.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay, house was very clean and had all the amenities needed for our week long stay. There was an unexpected cost for electricity, which I was not aware of before booking. Place would also benefit from dehumidifier due to location close to water.
We stayed for a week and had the most wonderful time in this cozy cottage! It was beautiful to wake up at morning, seeing the fishermen already doing their work. Enjoy the rural and calm surroundings by foot or car.
The home was very clean, kitchen is well-equiped and the stove provides cozyness and warmth in stormy nights! We would warmly recommend to stay at Jeanne‘s place, when traveling Connemara the laid-back way! We felt like home right away and would definitely come back! Wonderful, relaxing stay!
Things to do and Towns to see see in the area or further: Clifden, Roundstone, Galway, Boattrip to the Aran Islands or Inishbofin, Ballynahinch Castle, Hike up Diamond Hill, Kylemore Abbey & Gardens and many more (consult the brochures in the house for more tipps!)
The location on the waters edge is enchanting and it's a quaint, relaxed house. Jeanne, the owner, was easy to communicate with, and was very understanding of a change we had to make in our schedule. Also, the people who are the "next door" neighbors are very kind and helpful. And there is a nice restaurant a short drive away.
Un ancien cottage rénové dans un charme British désuet, au bord de l’eau, au cœur du Connemara
The location of the house was enjoyed by the whole family! The 3 youngest loved being able to go straight down to the sea when returning from excursions when the weather allowed! We took advantage of the wooden chairs in the garden in the evening: a good beer, a good book, a good jacket with hood and what a pleasure to watch the sun set behind the clouds or the Errisbeg Mountain (which we climbed with the four children)! We found the seclusion and calm that we wanted to experience in Connemara. We took advantage of the proximity of the very good and friendly restaurant "Glynsk House" (7 min by car). In short, an excellent stay!

Nicht wie beschrieben!
Wie bereits in früheren Bewertungen immer mal wieder beschrieben , war das Haus leider feucht, muffig, belebt mit Ungeziefer, nicht renoviert, schlechte Wasserversorgung, ohne benutzbare Boote und Fahrräder, mit zusätzlichen Strom - und Holzkosten (ca. 120€ für 14 Tage im August). Alles in allem absolut keine angenehme Wohnatmosphäre!
Die Lage und der Garten sind jedoch traumhaft!
The house is situated right on the beach in a very quiet area with beautiful views. It's the place to be if you're looking for peace and solitude. Everything in the house is nicely done and is furnished with everything necessary. Only in the kitchen a few old cooking utensils (e.g. frying pans) could be replaced. Jeanne is very friendly and will help if needed.
The property is as described in a beautiful, remote area. For people looking for a peaceful holiday, you would not go wrong in booking this. Great base to explore Connemara.

Schöne Lage, aber...
Sehr schöne Lage. Leider nicht besonders sauber. Ungeziefer hat anscheinend einen ständigen Zugang zum Haus. Rückstände der Vormieter im Küche und Wohnraum. Der Strom wird nach einem Prepaid-System extra aufgeladen, mit dem klaren Hinweis, dass die Heizung zu viel Strom zieht. Es ist die meiste Zeit entsprechend schwer zu heizen, daran ändert auch der kleine Ofen nichts. Auf Nachfrage war die Betreuung vor Ort sehr gut.
unkompliziert, Haus direkt am Strand mit hervorragender Aussicht, Ausstattung in ordentlichem einfachen Zustand, alles nötige vorhanden, Elektrizität musste extra gezahlt werden und war etwas schwierig zu organisieren(für" top up" ist Kreditkarte nötig!) aber durch die freundlichen Nachbarn machbar, Kajaks waren nutzbar, Fahrrad nicht. Ziemlich ab vom Schuss, aber super für Naturliebhaber oder zum Zurückziehen. Freundliche Nachbarhunde laufen frei herum. Hügelige Moorlandschaft. Mückenschutz wird empfohlen
Beautiful cottage overlooking Bertraghboy Bay in Co Galway with distant views of the Twelve Bens mountain range. The cottage is full of charm and character, is very comfortable and in a peaceful location.
A wonderful property! The house is lovely and exactly as described and pictured. It has everything one could possibly need. Jeanne is a super host - she responds rapidly, is absolutely dependable, very friendly and helpful. Spectacular area with very friendly people.
Great property to relax, spend time on the small beach (to which one has direct access from the garden) and as a base from which to explore the surrounding area. The garden is also a treat!
We love this property!
Thank you Jeanne!
The house is exactly as described and pictured. We did a longer stay here and we love it! The house is well stocked with everything you could need. The stove in the livingroom was on every evening and gives off a lovely, cosy warmth. The view is spectacular and the large garden an absolute pleasure! You have direct access to a small piece of beach - absolutely beautiful and a real treat!
Comminication with Jeanne is excellent and uncomplicated. She is very friendly and quick to react to any questions or requests. Barbara is also very friendly, ready to assist and will be there if her help is needed. One thus has total privacy but all the help you could ask for, should you need it.
The house runs on a 'pay as you go' electricity system. It is well described and easy to use. Worked well for us.
Carna is a short car drive away and has a few local shops where you can purchase some daily necessities. Lovely restaurant in Carna and also nearby Glynsk House.
The house and property are quiet, one is surrounded by nature and it is a wonderful base to explore the stunning surrounding area from.
We thoroughly enjoy everything this lovely property has to offer!
Thank you so much Jeanne!
