A lovely cottage, great location, best hosts ever!

This cottage is so charming, with an exquisite view and surroundings. It’s nestled in a beautiful valley above a lake. The house is well equipped with cozy living spaces Your cell phone might will only get what’s app reception or through WiFi, which can be spotty, but that is a hidden gift! The remote nature of this home provides peace and tranquility and is an easy 25 minute drive to good restaurants, groceries, gas etc. We will return for sure. The hosts couldn’t be more gracious and generous!

Going nuts for Hazel Cottage

What a lovely time we had at such a beautiful location. Loved the stone-floored kitchen; the open sitting room; the chairs and table outside; the flora andf fauna around the cottage; the facilities; the ease of contact with Joe and Dolores. The internet connection was problematic but Joe and Dolores sent a note to explain the difficulty, a gesture that was much appreciated. We couldn't understand the instructions for the washing machine. Perhaps they could be clearer. Something about a pipe, which we couldn't find. We would thoroughly recommend a stay at this delightful cottage in such a stunning setting.

Wer es ruhig und abgeschieden mag, ist hier richtig

Fernab vom touristischen Trubel gelegenes traditionelles Steinhaus in den Bergen Connemaras. Alles sehr geräumig. Ausstattung ist schon etwas älter, aber voll funktionsfähig. Zu den Ausflugszielen in der Umgebung sowie zum Einkaufen fährt man immer ein Stück, ist aber nicht tragisch. Gastgeber Joe und Dolores sind stets ansprechbar und hilfsbereit. Top: Das große Panorama-Fenster im Wohnzimmer mit Blick auf See und Berge.

Postcard Perfect

Joe and Delores Hogan were fantastic hosts! We arrived much later than expected and they were so gracious and accommodating. Their beautiful rustic stone home is just what it looks like in their photos.... quaint, lovely and welcoming. Plenty of space for friends and/or families. The immediate surrounding are beyond beautiful... we spent time in Cong, Westport and Connemara.... all easily drivable from their home. I can’t say enough about our wonderful experience... only that I wish it where longer. It will be next time! Thanks again Hogans’ 💚 Leslie

A return trip for our 70th birthdays

The property is placed in a beautiful area of Ireland. Although it is away from the city centers, it is very pleasant. You hear the waterfall in the back as the water rushes over the fall. Although you cannot easily see them, the sound is so relaxing. The mountains that surround the area are beautiful and tranquil. Dolores and Joe were in contact with us and addressed a very small issue lickety split. This is a place you go to relax and unplug. We would absolutely return for more of the same. One piece of advice would be to follow the coordinates, make the cottage easier to get to from anywhere.

Wunderschön gelegen und ruhig

Das Haus ist sehr schön und praktisch mit Geschmack eingerichtet. Die Lage ist wunderschön und extrem ruhig. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Anfahrt ist etwas abenteuerlich, da es über schmale Straße geht, bei denen es manchmal so schmal wird, dass keine zwei Autos aneinander vorbei kommen.

Ein romantischer und ruhiger Ort, mit traumhafter Lage und schönem Ausblick

Es war einfach ein traumhafter Urlaub in fantastischer, irischer Natur. Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Vermieter. Alles unkompliziert. Das Haus hat alles was man braucht . Die Lage und Aussicht sind hervorragend. Viele Wanderungen möglich. Ebenfalls ein kleines Boot und Angelmöglichkeit vorhanden. Blick auf den See lädt zum verweilen und abschalten ein. Wir haben uns srhr wohlgefühlt und waren nicht das letzte Mal dort. Vielen lieben Dank an Dolores und Joe

Der richtige Ort für Großstädter zum „entschleunigen“

Superschöne Lage, die Ausstattung ist in Ordnung, wenn man nicht gerade 35 Grad hat ( dafür ist Irland in der Regel aber auch nicht bekannt 😉 - wir hatten aber das Vergnügen). Aber die Vermieter sind super nett und haben uns bei jedem Anliegen sehr gerne weiter geholfen. Für Großstädter, die sich vom Stress erholen möchten genau das richtige!! Vielen Dank nochmal für alles Joe und Dolores

Hübsches Häuschen an schöner Lage

Schön renoviertes, altes Cottage an einem abgelegenen See in den Bergen. Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, wenn auch Strom- und Heizkosten exklusive, mit Zähler selber zu ermitteln. Sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Eigentümer. Etwas abgeschieden gelegen, aber Sehenswürdigkeiten sind trotzdem innert akzeptabler Zeit erreichbar. Vielen Dank an Joe und Dolores Hogan

Prachtig ruim autentiek huis, heerlijk sfeer en vriendelijke huis baas

Prachtig huis in een echt Connemara's gebied, heerlijk stil en niet te ver van de eilanden vandaan. Ruim genoeg voor een jong gezin. Al hadden wij het weer wel goed mee. De 9 dagen dat wij er waren heeft het niet geregend. De ontvangst van de huis baas was ook geweldig, hij toonde ons meerdere wandel routes in het gebied. De kaarten zijn in het huis beschikbaar. En op een kilometer afstand een cafe met op zaterdag ( niet altijd ) een band met natuurlijk Ierse muziek. Helaas hadden wij op de terugtocht geen zaklamp mee, het was er aarde donker, en dat had ook wat, wat wij in Nederland niet meer kennen. Wij hopen er toch nog een keer terug te komen. Gr. Jan en Nel Tiebie .

Location très agréable et bien située

Location très agréable dans une vallée magnifique. Très isolé, au calme. Idéal pour des vacances depaysantes. Le seul bémol à nos 10 jours passés dans cette location a été le temps très irlandais qui nous a empêché de faire des randonnées. Cottage très bien équipé sans oublier le feu de tourbe pour se sécher après une promenade humide. Paysages grandioses autour de la maison. Et la promenade en barque sur le lac est superbe. Merci aux propriétaires pour leur gentillesse.

Comme à la maison

On se sent de suite bien dans le cottage. Spacieux, fonctionnel et chaleureux. Le seul bémol est la lumière du jour qui passe un peu à travers les rideaux. Sinon tout est super et il y a tout le nécessaire pour faire du feu et commodités. Les propriétaires sont très gentils et discrets. Le coin est superbe.

Our Adventure in Ireland

One is driving through the mountains into the valley of the Lough Na Fooey. A magical bridge welcomes you and leads you into mystic world of Eire. The cottage is enlaced by a fantastically wood: Atlantic ivy entwineds around trees, the waterfall swooshes, stone walls and sheeps whitersover you let pass your sight. Greengrey hills, sun drenched rain clouds... and the Lough Na Fooey...- we cast off daily routine on the bridge and admitted to let go... The irish people- first of all our landloard Joe- impressed us with their tranquility. I went home highly motivated and relaxed and still I keep this in my mind. I will come back. This natural surface with it's old ruins and masonry, shagged shores, coloured houses... it caught me. Bettina
