There are (almost) no words for how magical a place this is. Eleanor met us after a very long and stressful travel day with warm words and a welcoming smile. The lad of Cnon Suain unfolded before us in the morning, with big ponies, wildlife, blooming gorse and even a standing stone.This is the perfect little hidden away base for exploring the extraordinary Connemara area. If you’re unsure where to start, Eleanor has an entire binder full of recommendations - choose an adventure and get stuck in.

Everything was so well thought out for the comfort of the guest. Absolute unique and beautiful stay. A delight to come home in the evening and sit by the fire. Thank you so much for a memorable experience.

Home away from home

This is a beautiful home with special touches by Eleanor - eggs,coffee , milk, lemon bread, brown bread and oats. She met us upon our arrival and gave us many suggestions about local places to visit. I wish we could have stayed longer! If I go back to Ireland I will stay here.

Cnoc Suain stay

We are on a whirlwind 2 week self guided tour of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Tracing our ancestry and experiencing the nature, history and culture of the land. Eleanor, Dearbhail and Charlie’s Property could not have been a better fit. We stayed in a beautifully restored and recreated thatched cottage filled with books, stocked with wonderful local and homemade goodies in a village setting with a Standing Stone , peat bog and ponies. We watched the sunsets and soaked up the history. It was amazing!

Ideal place of peace and nature

We were in bad shape when we arrived (all three of us sick from the flight to Ireland!). The home is incredible and rich in history. The amenities were beautifully provided and everything about the property was peaceful and beautiful. This is an amazing place and I can't recommend it more highly. By the time we left, we were able to wash our clothes, check our social media, cook home-made meals, and take several walks along the beautiful flower-lined dirt roads. I will miss this place and hope to be back some time.

An enchanting and unique experience

This cottage, in this wonderful landscape, was a highlight of our trip to Ireland! It could not have been more elegant, comfortable, peaceful! The host was helpful, thoughtful, and exceedingly kind. The bed was a dream, with its quilts and Aran knit blanket. The hearth was so cozy and relaxing. The kitchen was perfectly appointed. The care to use sustainable materials and practices was impressive was impressive. The shower temperature was perfect. The homemade treat was so thoughtful! The bird with her nest in the window was our only companion. The hawthorn tree next to our door was so lovely. The cottage itself is a time capsule, with its Druid stones and thatch roof, and we loved our walks on the grounds, and finding the standing stone in the field. There was not a sound during the night - only the CD we played, with Steve Cooney’s guitar rendition of Turlough O’Carolan’s harp tunes - a perfect soundtrack for our dreamscape visit to this Heaven on Earth. Thank you for your hospitality!

Quaint

I was traveling with folks you enjoyed road trips and villages more so there was lack of time to really enjoy the surroundings of this cottage. If you want time to take walks in the bog and solitude this is a place to visit. I did think the cottage was going to be on top of a hill with a view of the mountains and valley. But it was down a path snuggled between trees. I felt the cottage was dark with small windows and minimal lighting indoors. I did get to take one longer walk where I found their 3 ponies and had time to create small watercolor sketches. The private patio area was not the cozy feel I expected. The best part would be the exploration on the acres of land they owned. Unfortunately we just didn't have that kind of time. So obviously it depends on the agenda you share with your fellow travelers. The best part was my walk and brief times talking with the owners and host. I'd wish I had more time talking with Eleanor and her parents. They were very warm, interesting and gracious.

The Nicest Place to Stay in Count Galway

This was one of the nicest and cutest places I have ever stayed in. The hosts were very sweet and caring. The location was perfect balance between feeling isolated in the country side, but also a short drive away to the nearest town. We will most probably stay here again.

Zeitreise mit Komfort und Herz

Eine lange gewundene, rechts und links starke bewachsene Zufahrt führt zu zwei kleinen Ansammlungen von Steinhäusern. Wir wohnten in einem liebevoll renovierten Haus aus dem 17. Jahrhundert mit Reetdach und Kaminofen, aber allem dezent integrierten zeitgenössischen Komfort wie z.B. Fußbodenheizung. Für WLAN waren ein paar Schritte Fußweg zum Gemeinschaftshäuschen erforderlich, aber dieser "Mangel" förderte das Eintauchen in die Vor-Internet-Zeit. Auch die Zeit, die sich die Gastgeber für uns genommen haben, fühlte sich nach echter guter, alter Zeit an. So war tatsächlich eine menschliche Begegnung möglich. Die hochwertigen Zutaten für das Frühstück des ersten Tages waren ein toller Willkommensgruß. Ein echter Sehnsuchtsort.

Tage der vollkommenen Entspannung.

Was für ein wunderschönes Cottage! Wir hatten hier eine großartige, sehr entspannte Zeit. Eleanor war ein hervorragender Gastgeberin, die uns mit allem ausgestattet hat, was wir für einen perfekten Aufenthalt brauchten. Gerne kommen wir wieder!
