Lovely cottage in Rosmuc

The property is as good or better than the photos in the listing. Well maintained and nicely decorated and equipped. The location is just beautiful! A top-notch place to spend time and to use as a base in exploring Connemara. Mike was very helpful and provided loads of great information about the area.

I'm In Love!

I couldn't imagine a more calm, peaceful, and warm location to spend my travels. No hiccups and felt at home the minute we arrived.

Wonderful well appointed cottage!

The location is great - in a lovely neighborhood surrounded by farms and minutes from groceries, pub with excellent food and everywhere you want to go. The 200 year old cottage has all the modern amenities- yet retains the charm and quaintness of the past. The hosts were lovely - Make sure you read the book the host has put together - it’s full of history of the region and fantastic recommendations for what to do in the area - and we changed our plans once we read it and were so glad We did!! Waiting for us when we checked in was everything we needed for breakfast, snacks, cozy fire, showers, wash …it could not have been more organized and well appointed. Highly recommend!

Wonderful cottage

My best friend and I wanted to find a cozy cottage in Ireland for our girls trip. We were hoping for something similar to the cottage in the movie The Holiday. It did not disappoint. We were so happy to return home in the evening after a long day of driving to see sights and just relax by the fire and watch our favorite Jane Austin films on the DVDs provided by Kersti. I also greatly enjoyed my daily walks to see Ashford castle on the road and walking paths. It was a wonderful experience.
