Well equipped cottage right at coral beach

We had a wonderful week in this cottage. When we arrived we found freshly baked scones, butter and jam in the kitchen. Soon after we had a short welcome chat with the owner. The cottage is perfect for exploring Connemara and Clifden is only 10 minutes away for shopping, eating and having a cup of coffee. The coral strand is just over the road and it is perfect for swimming. There are more fantastic beaches nearby. Very recommended!

Fab location!

This house is in a stunning location and I was lucky with the weather to get to walk the beach every day. Mary was so welcoming with fresh scones on arrival. And means to make a fire in the stove which was lovely. The house was spotless, with all facilities on hand. I really enjoyed my stay there, and will be back.

Fantastic holiday

We have stayed in many holiday homes in Galway and Mayo, this has been our favourite so far. The location was fantastic, directly across the road from a stunning beach.The house was extremely clean and was really well equipped with everything we needed. Mary was a lovely host, friendly and welcoming. Thank you so much to her. We really want to come back next year.

Beautiful cottage with a great view

We stayed in the cottage for a week in the summer. The house has everything you need and is beautifully furnished. But what we liked most was the large garden and the wonderful view of the sea.The location of the house is very good. The shop in Ballyconneely can be reached in a few minutes and has everything you need. For more shopping and Restaurants you can be in Clifden within 15 minutes. We enjoyed our stay very much and had a wonderful time discovering the wonderful landscape of Connemara.

Absolutely ideal for everything

Perfect for families, perfect for Clifden and the surrounding area. Right across from the beach. The sand is a little painful but beautiful! Great place for swimming when the tide is in. Clear water and it gets deep quickly. Fine for paddling when the tide is out but a bit far out for swimming. Easy walk to the shops and pub. House lovely and cosy. Kitchen is a good size and bathrooms are fine. Porch is great for leaving shoes and drying clothes out.

An amazing holiday in one of the most beautiful spots in Connemara

We had an amazing holiday in Cottage 102 in Ballyconneely. The house is right across the road from a coral beach with crystal clear waters. A few minutes drive from a local shop and really nice pub with great food and 10 minutes drive from Clifden. Other beaches like Dogs Bay are also within a 15 minute drive away. The house was very well equipped and our host was very friendly and responsive. Everything you need was there and the sunsets from the front rooms of the house were outstanding. We will definitely be back. Thank you for making our holiday so special. We have made great family memories.

Lovely bright cottage

Enjoyed a lovely stay in this cottage. The owner was very attentive and helpful and left lovely fresh scones for us on arrival. It is a lovely, bright cottage and very clean and well equipped. Across the road from the beautiful coral beach which is great for swimming. There is a very nice sheltered patio which we enjoyed sitting at in the sunshine. Be careful if you bring a dog as the road is busy and the garden is not enclosed. Very enjoyable stay here.

A wonderful find

Cottage 102 in Ballyconneely is in a wonderful position looking straight out to the sea and beach. Absolutely everything we could passably need for a comfortable stay was provided from fluffy towels to dishwasher tablets. We arrived in February at night and in a howling gale to find a welcoming fire lit and a bottle of red wine, delicious bread, butter and preserve left out for us. It was very extremely well received. My wife and I cannot recommend this cottage enough, in fact we have booked for a further two weeks in the summer. Mary the owner leaves you alone to enjoy your stay but is only a phone call away if you need help or advice.

Excellent pet friendly house across from the beach

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is fantastic, right across the rd from the beach and a stone's throw from Ballyconneelly and other amazing beaches. Mary was really helpful and welcoming and even had the fire lit for us on arrival! The ESB rate was reasonable and the house had everything we needed for a family holiday. Would recommend
