Natur pur

Sehr schöne Lage im Nationalpark. Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und sehr gut ausgestattet. Wenn man leicht friert und es kalt und windig ist muss man den Kamin anmachen da die Heizung es sonst nicht schafft. Aber ab Temperaturen um die 15 Crad sehr zu empfehlen

Beautiful cottage

If we‘d known how beautiful this accommodation really is, we would‘ve chosen to stay much longer than three days. The cottage really is in the middle of nowhere, so having a (rented) car is a necessity, but the view is 100% worth it. Highly recommend if you‘re looking for a quiet stay with friends or family. Thanks again for everything, we’ll be sure to be back in the future!

Gemütliches Cottage in wilder Natur

Just perfect!

An amazing property, immaculately clean with absolutely everything you would need for a fully self catering holiday. A delightful place to holiday both as a base and for cosy, relaxing comfort on the 2 rainy days we were there. Spectacular views from the cottage inviting you to walk the western way. Couldn't have wished for a better home from home. Thanks very much Dolores for your excellent communication with us, your obvious care and attention to detail in the cottage and for providing such a wonderful holiday home.

Einfach perfekt

Es war unser erster Irlandurlaub und wir haben, um das Land besser kennenzulernen, -2- Häuser in verschiedenen Regionen gemietet. Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin war sehr einfach. Fragen wurden umgehend beantwortet. Dieses Haus ist wunderschön in einem ruhigen Tal, direkt am Western Way gelegen. Man kann auch gleich phantastisch los wandern, ohne erst mit dem Auto zu einem Startpunkt zu fahren. Die Umgebung hat uns sehr stark an die schottischen Highlands erinnert. Das Haus an sich hat alles was wir brauchten: Neben der normalen Ausstattung mit Töpfen, Tellern, Handtüchern, etc waren auch Waschmaschine, Trockner und Geschirrspüler vorhanden. Selbst die Matratzen waren nicht durchgelegen und damit sehr gut. Besonders gut hat uns das große Wohnzimmer mit dem offenen Kamin gefallen. Aus dem Fenster der Küchenzeile hat man zudem einen tollen Ausblick auf die gegenüberliegenden Berge und in das Tal. Der Preis ist zudem sehr fair. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Stunning

One of the most beautiful places I know in Ireland. Original and authentic. I love the surroundings, the silence, the quietly crackling fire in the fireplace. Being there always means coming home a little bit. I am always very pleased when this house is available. And it wasn't the last time we were there either. Thank you Dolores.

What a cute and cozy home with the most astounding views and don't forget to walk along the road where you will see friendly horses and many sheep grazing about. Plenty of great things to do in nearby towns and I highly recommend visiting Klyemore Abbey. We just Loved it!

Our second time here,we really enjoyed it .Such a majestic area,the cottage is fantastic,clean and tidy, everything in order. The drying room is a real advantage if you are a walker. So lovely just to be able to watch the changing scene of the mountains, constantly different during any part of the day. We would love to come back one day.

Perfect location, ideal space, great host

As others have said, the pictures don’t do this place justice. The setting is supremely beautiful, it has all of the amenities you need, and Dolores is a wonderful host. We stayed 3 nights but I would come back and stay a week. Many things to do are within a 30 to 60 minute drive, but you don’t need to drive anywhere at all: there is a great walking trail just down the lane. Hope to come back someday!
