Away from it all in beautiful Connemara

The location was perfect for short cycles to the various beaches and Keogh's Bar and restaurant. It was also great for longer cycles around the Old Bog Road, Roundstone and Gurteen beach

Comfortable and Homely

Our family have just enjoyed a great weekend in Little Tara. The house was spotlessly clean, everything in perfect working order, really well equipped, warm & cosy. Our host Veronica couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming. We all felt very comfortable and at home, very tranquil setting, beautiful views. The location is so good, close to beaches, the golf course and Ballyconneely. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily return.
