Connemara Residences

"We had a fantastic stay over New Year with extended family. The house truly felt like a home from home. After a long drive, we were given a very warm welcome by Mairead, which immediately set the tone for the week.The house is extremely well equipped, spotlessly clean, and boasts the most spectacular views. We managed to fit in several outings, including a number of beautiful beaches, Dogs Bay and Gurteen in Roundstone, and Moyrus Beach, which is just a short drive from the house. Great wee coffee shop in Roundstone too. We also visited Clifden Castle, and the kids loved spending their Christmas money in Clifden town. A walk around Ballynahinch Castle was another highlight, followed by a lovely dinner in Glynsk House, only a few minutes away from the house.John and Mairead are wonderful hosts — thoughtful and attentive without being intrusive. They checked in on us during our stay and even left a crate of turf for the log burners, which was a much-appreciated touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend this house for a relaxing and memorable stay."

"People were quite friendly. The room was clean, nice and warm. The pool was a great opportunity to get some lap swimming in during my brief stay. It helped me sleep like a baby, despite having traveled 8 time zones and about 12 hrs to get there."

"Room spotless with great view. Staff the absolute best. Perfect visit with artist friends who we’re so inspired by the beauty . Good food but needs a little more attention. We return every year one of our favorite hotels in the most beautiful spot . Thank you !"

"Staff is wonderful. Prosecco story time is always fun!"

"Lovely, clean, comfy and cozy home with a wonderful kitchen, gorgeous fireplace and THE VIEWS are heavenly! Debbie is wonderful, kind and responsive to any questions. It is truly otherworldly in its loveliness and tranquility, a respite from the hustle and bustle but not so secluded that a coffee run or groceries aren’t easily accessible with a 10-15 minute drive. Rain or shine you will not be disappointed. We can’t wait to return!! "

"The host John was very friendly and helpful. Parking was easy. And the breakfast was great. "

"We had a great stay! The location is beautiful and the house is very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again."

"Very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was one of the best I have had at a hotel. Great variety and freshly made. The evening meal was of a very high standard and a good choice menue. "

"This cottage was stunning, with views of the mountains and bay. Mike had plenty of information for things to do around the area, and actually sent it to us ahead of time so we could plan out what we wanted to do. We were thrilled with our stay, and plan on staying here again in the future. Thank you!"
