Warm and welcoming cottage
My friends and I stayed here while visiting Connemara for a hill walking trip. It was warm, clean and had everything we needed for our weekend away. All information was provided ahead of time and the hosts were helpful and friendly. I would recommend this cottage
We loved our stay in Maam. There was more than enough room for our family of 6. There is spectacular and we did a day trip to Crough Patrick per Patrick’s recommendation and we had a great time

Lovely holiday house with spectacular views
The house is in the most spectacular location looking down on the mountains and lake in the valley. We spent very little time in the house, but it was comfortable and well equipped. I highly recommend it for a holiday for a large family.
Our host was helpful and great with communication.

The house is nice with an amazing view. Had all we needed for a great stay. Waking up to the beautiful lake and mountain views was great. My kids also loved the place, there are sheep right next to the property and all the way up the mountain, the loved calling to the sheep. The owner is really nice and also close by if there are any problems (we had no problems). I’d definitely recommend this place.

Spectacular Stay
The undoubted selling point of the cottage is the view over Loch Corrib, so much better again than the photos! It was absolutely stunning waking to such a vista and so relaxing. The area is very central for day trips to Galway, Westport and surrounds.
The cottage has all mod cons and host was close by to assist, always very friendly.
The only one minor downside was the comfort of the beds, however this did not detract from a fantastic holiday here.
Highly recommended!

Dear Guest Thank you for your lovely review and feedback. We will have the beds checked.We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope you will return in the future
The mold in the bathroom was the reason we checked out a day early. Beautiful view from the picnic table outside in the front yard. 👍.
Religious artwork was interesting and can work for most guests but shouldn’t be part of the conversation? Hey just saying-all good.

Ein wunderschönes Ferienhaus für bis zu 8 Personen.
Wir konnten sogar unsere Mahlzeiten außerhalb des Hauses einnehmen.
Auch bei schlechterem Wetter konnten wir das unvergleichliche Panorama der Berge und des See's genießen, weil wir uns den Tisch vor das Fenster geschoben haben.
Das wäre unser Traum haus, wenn wir in Irland wohnen würden.

Mooie plek met prachtig uitzicht. De omgeving is geweldig. Het huis was netjes en schoon. De keukeninventaris liet echter te wensen over. De koekenpannen zijn versleten evenals het botte schilmes.
