Wonderful House

This was our second visit and we enjoyed it as much as the first time. The house is lovely, very well equipped and in a stunning location. I just wish we could have stayed longer.

Fantastic House & Location

This is a beautiful house in a lovely, quiet location. Very well equipped kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. We didn't need to use the log fire but sure that will be fantastic and make the place very cosy in the winter months. We had a great stay and look forward to hopefully staying again.

Great stay in Galway!

House was great and in good condition. 3 good bedrooms and a separate area for the kids upstairs. It was great sitting by the fire listening to the wind outside. 2 min walk to a little beach (Anchor Beach) which the kids loved exploring at low tide. We swam on 3 days in November!

Perfect getaway

We are a family of 5 and have stayed here a number of times. We love both the house and the area. The house has been updated since our last visit and is very comfortable and well equipped. It is near a beautiful, small beach with lots of local walks and a pub/shop nearby in Claddaghduff. Omey Island, Inisbofin, Clifden and Letterfrack are within easy reach. For us it is a perfect and peaceful getaway.

Fantastic place to stay

We had a real good time at Bedrock. Perfectly located for beach and dog walks. Only 10’ drive from Cleggan where you can enjoy perfect seafood at Oliver’s. We only missed WiFi at the house but the owners said they were looking into this in the near future.

A wonderful holiday

By far the best house my family have stayed in, in the West of Ireland. Very well equipped for all weathers and a wonderful design that makes the most of the landscape without being flashy or inappropriate. An absolute pleasure to stay in this lovely home.

Really comfortable house in beautiful location

Family of 5 with three teenagers. The house was perfect, really spacious and comfortable with a fantastic shower. The location is absolutely beautiful if you are looking for a quiet beachside holiday, with loads of things to do in the area and great supermarkets and shops in Cliften only 20/25 mins away.

A comfortable house with excellent facilities in a truly idyllic setting.

we had a really enjoyable stay. the kitchen was exceptionally well equipped and the wet room looks brand new. the location was perfect for our needs. only down side was that some of the chests of drawers in bedrooms were dusty/ dirty/ damp smelling inside and needing cleaning out. there was also an odd smell in the bunk bed room which I could not locate the source of. Neither of these issues would stop us from staying there again.

Beautiful Bolthole

Bedrock is the ideal place when you want to get away from it all. Stunning scenery, beautiful walks, and excellent cottage with everything that you need. Cleggan Village is close by and Clifden a short drive away,. We had a fabulous few days away, and already planning when to return.

Great House

We had a great time at this property - It has a great location north of Clifden with a beach very close by - the house is very well stocked and the accommodation is very comfortable - the bathroom at ground floor level has been completely redone since our stay last year - I would highly recommend this property!

Should have been fantastic!

“Bedrock is in a fantastic location with a nice beach nearby. We were disappointed that the house was not clean or tidy when we arrived and it could have been much better presented. We also experienced problems with the sewage system and the boiler. The owner tried to help with these issues from a distance as the caretaker was on holiday. A final resolution was reached with the owner after we returned home at the end of our holiday. Hopefully our experience means that future holidaymakers have a much happier stay with all the issues we raised no longer apparent.”

Great house

This property really impressed us. The location was great - very scenic - with a lovely small cove / beach close by. We brought our two dogs so the outbuilding was wonderful. Its location close to Cleggan and Omey beach really suited us as we did not wish to stay in Clifden . The house was very very comfortable - and very well equipped with good quality equipment. The lady who manages the property was most helpful and only a phonecall away - we will definitely be renting this property again next summer.

Warm Modern Clean Cosy

We had a wonderful stay in Bedrock during July14. The house is superbly equipped and very clean – we had an infant with us so this was paramount – we has no worries at all in this house. A real comfy yet modern building that is laid out with great thought and attention to detail. The table tennis room is good when weather turns wet. Unlike a lot of houses in area (of which we have stayed in many over the years) this house really feels like a nice holiday home - and not an overused/rented investment property. Really looking forward to getting back to Aughrusbeg next year – we will be booking this house/home again. A great spot in a wonderful part of the world.

Great house in a great location

Lovely house with a very comfortable feel, plenty of space and all you need provided. The location is beautiful and peaceful with great sea views and is just a short walk to some small sandy beaches. There is a well-stocked shop in Claddaghduff and plenty of life in Clifden. The owner was very helpful and easy to deal with - we would love to visit again.

Highly recommended

Booked this rental for a family re union. Property was in immaculate condition. As it said in the property description, you could not ask for anything more. beautiful location and easy to find. nice enclosed land with gate for security especially with the grandchildren playing out front. If you would like a place to forget your woes, meet friendly people, stunning area including clifden, rent this property. You will not regret it.

Wonderful Stay

Gail, thank you very much for opening up this beautiful place we would be happy to call our home. The house was clean and perfectly set up for a lovely comfortable stay. When we had any questions you were always quick to respond. The location is fantastic and the views are out of this world. Note to the next people staying here, bring binoculars because the vews out to the ocean are fantastic!

Wonderful isn’t enough…

Wonderful isn’t enough to describe this house near the nice village of Cleggan located few minutes walk away from dreamlike beaches and the most beautyful nature. House itself is outstanding and features everything you will need. Galway is bit over an hour to drive, the surrounding area is stunning. Thank you for a stay that we will hold in dear remembrance!

Absolutely fab

We had an amazing week. Beautiful house. Very homely, cosy and spacious. Our three kids aged 11, 8 and 6 loved anchor beach which is a walk away. Bedrock has everything needed for families staying. Only one recommendation is an outdoor tap after beach trips. We plan on another trip. Highly reccomend xx
