Could not recommend more highly!

The cottage and facillities were perfect, we stayed as a family of four, children aged 10 and 13. We loved the hot tub, sauna and cold plunge. Gerry was the perfect host, the eggs and chickens were great. We were even fortunate enough to watch him tend to his bees. There is loads to do within a short drive from the location and the countryside itself is stunning. Cant wait to go again!

A special place

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage. After days out exploring, we relaxed in the sauna and hot tub under the stars. A really special place.

An idyllic Connemara stay

Patsys cottage is stunning! You cannot believe your eyes when you arrive at the property and Gerry has built it with everything in mind. The woodfired hot tub and sauna were great, especially on an evening with a clear sky! We also loved the cold plunge pool and shower. Devon showed us round the property and was super friendly! There was plenty of wood to keep us going and he checked in on us during our stay. A once in a lifetime kind of holiday home. We definitely won’t forget it!

Charming cottage complete with fresh eggs from resident chickens.

The cottage was perfect for our stay — Mum, Son, Grandson. The house was completely furnished with thoughtful amenities like lap blankets along with local honey, fresh eggs and friendly chickens. Our host was helpful giving us complete explanations of all parts of the house. Suggestions: a bigger bathroom/shower mat, a working electric blanket in the smaller bedroom. Otherwise, everything was delightful.

What a delightful place!

We had such a lovely time at Patsy’s Cottage. If I could give it ten stars I would. It’s not just lodging - it’s a truly special experience. The thatched roof cottage is charming, but it’s the outdoors and the hospitality that truly wows! We sat in the sauna and hot tub and around the outdoor fire pit; fed the horses; hiked the gorgeous land and enjoyed Gerry’s fresh eggs and honey. It was wholesome and delightful. Gerry is a perfect host and Patsy’s Cottage is a unique and wonderful spot. We loved it and are already planning a return visit.

a Connemara gem

Patsy's cottage is the best place we stayed at during our Summer 24' Irish road trip. A charming thatched wood cottage, beautifully decorated and cleverly arranged, so that we didn't miss anything and there was sufficient space for the 4 of us. The outdoor part brings your stay to the next level, with sauna, jacuzzi, firepit, fresh eggs from the hens everyday, Connemara ponies across the road, fresh potatoes to dig out, flowers everywhere... And the owner Gerry is super available and friendly, always ready to help us feel better : it shows that he's (understandably) proud of the house he built. This place is pure hidden gem, only pity was that we could only book 3 nights there, due to its success. Would recommend a 1000 times to anyone, and already eager to return!

Very nice cottage in the middle of nowhere

First of all: the owner is one of a kind. I seldomly met such a nice person in my life. Gerry was always there to provide us with fresh eggs, homemade honey, heating the stove and just having a chat. Thanks Gerry, you were awesome. The cottage itself was quaint and definitely worth the experience although I must say it is too small for four adults. The heating is run additionally through the stove. If you want really hot water and cosy warm rooms you need to light the fire. No problem with Gerry's help who lit the stove for us while we were away for sightseeing. There was plenty of timber and turf all the time. The cottage is located in the middle of nowhere. If you want to relax and do some digital detox it is perfect. One last thing. There was actually a washing machine in the cottage which was not in the description on the website. This should be added. Additionally there is everything in the cottage you need (even painkillers if you had too much of a drink).

A Hidden Gem in the Connemara Countryside

I can’t believe we found this place. Patsy’s Cottage is one of those rare spots that just feels right the moment you arrive. It’s a beautiful little thatched-roof cottage in the Connemara countryside, with just the right mix of rustic charm and quiet luxury. The setting is peaceful and surrounded by wildflowers, but it’s still close to a small fishing town where you can grab groceries, shop, or have a pint at the pub. We used it as a home base to explore the region—beaches, hikes, historic sites—but honestly, we were just as happy staying in. There’s a wood-fired hot tub and sauna, an ice bucket plunge, and fresh eggs every morning from the backyard chickens. Our two daughters loved checking on them each day and running through the field behind the house. We even received fresh honey from the beehives on the property. If you stay here, be sure to make a stop at the Glengowla Mines, less than a 5-minute drive away. Family-owned for generations, our daughters enjoyed the historic mine tour, and the sheepherding demonstration. The host was fantastic. Welcoming, thoughtful, and made sure everything was ready for us—from walking us through the house when we arrived to prepping the wood-fired hot tub each day. Every detail was taken care of. This place feels like a hidden gem. It’s hard to believe it wasn’t already booked solid. We’re already planning to come back. If you’re visiting Ireland, don’t skip this spot.
