We loved the cottage in Leenane! It was an excellent location for exploring Connemara and Westport by car. The views out the front and back were spectacular!! The cottage was super cosy and comfortable and had everything we needed. Laundry access was really helpful. Would stay again!

Cottage gargen was not enclosed. Not safe for children or dogs. It just off a busy road. The Cottage itself could do with up dating

Response from VrboOwner on 26 Jun, 2025
Dear Jane, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are disappointed that you feel the cottage was not up to standard. It is advertised as a traditional 2 bed cottage and the style of decoration is reflective of a traditional era. Yes it is close to a busy road and the waters edge, which is why it is advertised as more ideally suited for friends and couples. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly, should you wish to return to the area, and we would be happy to help you choose accommodation which may be more suitable for families. Kind regards, Lisa - Love Connemara Cottages

This is a lovely, comfortable cottage in a beautiful location.

I enjoyed both the cottage and the location. The owner was very helpful with a couple of minor problems. The house is warm with conveniences that are (thankfully) easy to operate. The location, backing onto the Killary is beautiful. The road is busy but there is a great loop walk across the road from the cottage. It is safest to drive into Leenane. The restaurant service is friendly and the food is excellent.

Beautiful and comfortable cottage in Killary

The cottage we stayed in was very clean and comfortable and was perfect for us, a family of four with two teenage daughters, to explore the region. It was cosy and its location was great, as it was perched on the side of Killary fjord. The only, very minor, issue we had was the exit from the cottage grounds onto the road is on a blind bend and we thought it a little dangerous to pull out of sometimes. Other than that, it was a perfect cottage and John Joe, who we met the day before we left, was very personable and helpful.

Cottage 194 Leenane

Location of cottage was perfect, the road outside was very busy all day but very quiet at night. We had food in Hamiltons and The Purple Door, it was delicious in both places and we certainly didnt need to travel further afield. Cottage suitable for our dog lots of room to run outside and not adjacent to any houses. The cottage itself was lovely, beds very comfortable. We had all we needed and because weather wasn't great we used the stove a bit which made the place nice and cosy. The bathroom however needs an update mastic around the shower tray gone black and shower not powerful enough.

Dogs welcome but not that dog friendly

We always love to find a dog friendly stay and whilst the cottage accepts dogs the location of the cottage next to a very busy road was a constant worry. The garden is not fenced in and therefore each time our pup needed to go out one of us would also need to go out to mind her. So keep that in mind especially if the weather is as poor as we experienced. The cottage itself is bijou but comfortable. Heating was incredibly efficient and effective, hot water plentiful and the wood burner a dream! However there are some areas that need updating/decorating. WiFi is excellent. Please note that the cottage is on a very busy road so you need to follow the access recommendation.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 May, 2025
Dear Guest Thank you for your lovely review and feedback. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and all was to your satisfaction. Yes that is correct whilst a cottage may be pet friendly (having pet inside) the area outside may be fenced or walled but we couldnt guarantee that the outside area would be secure for a pet. You would need to consider factors like size etc of pet that he/she may be able to jump/climb/go under wall or fence. Should you wish to return in the future please do not hesitate to contact us

Good location, well equipped but could do with a good clean

The service from Love Connemara Cottages was excellent - straight forward booking service with emailing of information ahead of our stay. The property location was great, but the property itself was disappointing. It was well equipped but could have done with a good clean - dusty shelves, cobwebs, mould in the bathroom, slugs in the kitchen cupboards, etc. The bedding and towels were clean. There was a lot of rain during our stay and the water coming through the kitchen tap was full of bits of debris so we drank bottled water instead. (There also appears to be a lot of Japanese knotweed in the garden)

Un superbe séjour

Nous avons passé 2 semaines dans le cottage de Leenane. Le cottage en lui même est fonctionnel. Tout est disponible pour passer un bon séjour. La literie est vraiment bonne. Quelques problèmes d’humidité. L’environnement extérieur est magnifique. On ne se lasse pas de regarder le paysage évolué. Nous étions avec nos 3 chiens. Le seul regret est que le terrain ne soit pas clôturé contrairement à ce que pourrait laisser penser les photos avec le portail Mais celui-ci ne ferme pas

Lovely holiday in Leenane

We had a very peaceful and enjoyable stay. The cottage was comfortable, clean and well fitted. The only minor problem was that we couldn’t open the key box and, as mobile phone coverage was bad ( or non- existent in the area) we had to go into Leenane to phone from the shop or hotel to get the caretaker. Otherwise, we were very satisfied with the cottage and its location was great.

Cottage 194 outside Leenane, Co. Galway

We were very pleased with our stay. The cottage, originally built in 1916, has been tastefully modernised but yet retains a lot of its original character. It's well equipped, warm and comfortable. The location is ideal to explore the many attractions in the area.

Lovely cottage and peaceful locatjon

I stayed here with my partner in July 2020- cottage was very clean and well equipped. The owner, John is a lovely man, very friendly and told us the history of the cottage as well as recommendations for places to go. Pity the weather wasn’t great but the lovely scenery at the back of the cottage made up for it. I would stay again.

A nice stay

A poor start in that the keys were not in the lock box. Had to ring the owner and had to sit around waiting for the keys. Entrance to property was not ideal as it was on a blind bend which allowed access from one side and proved dangerous entering and leaving. On the plus side, very comfortable inside, everything thing you needed was there. Good tv selection. Location was idyllic backing onto the Fjord. Isolated within a cluster of trees. Good privacy. Access to Leenane ‘by car’ 5 mins. Weather was amazing which helped. Owner came promptly with the keys. Enjoyed the stay, would go back again.

Dear Guest Thank you for your lovely review and feedback. We do ask that guests contact 48 hours in advance to arrange key collection details. Yes you will see from the cottage location it is located long a main road so caution is needed when entering driveway and leaving driveway.

Brilliant location & host

John was a great host. We stayed in the cottage for a week, really cosy with a working stove. The cottage is in a beautiful and convenient location, close to beautiful walks and just outside Leenane village. Tourist attractions are a short drive. Dog-friendly.

Cosy cottage

Us three ladies spent two nights in this beautiful little home. It was warm, welcoming ( a bottle of lovely red awaited us ) the beds were most comfortable. Yes it’s small - but quaint. Phone coverage was abysmal but that meant we spent our weekend talking!!! Central location for day trips to Kylemore ( great dinner there and very reasonable) Also a fab meal at The Seafarer in Letterfrack. Get to Leenane - this cottage experience awaits you!
