Beautiful house with garden that runs down to the sea

Great location and great house. Plenty to do around, including cashel hill and its fantastic views. Barbara and Jennifer are lovely and very helpful. Thanks a lot. Thomas

Loved the place, great bedrooms and bathrooms and views. I know Rosroe well so it all worked for us. Only improvement would be some low lighting in sitting room.

We loved our week in this beautiful, remote cottage with a view of the water. Situated in a gorgeous spot, it was easy to visit many of Connemara villages and sites. It has a well equipped kitchen and beds are comfortable. Very memorable and charming house.

The cottage was great and clean. Its location offers fantastic views of Connemara. It is quiet and restful.

We chose this cottage because of the waterfront location and it certainly delivered. We had a great time enjoying the seashore and views when the weather allowed, plus local walks along the nearby lanes. The garden is rough and ready for sure but this was outlined in the description and we had no issue getting down to the sea whenever we wanted. I note some negative comments from others about access to the sea and the weather - I would point out this is rural Galway, so what do you expect?! It was a great base for us to explore Connemara more widely. The cottage itself is inviting and the heating works well. It is very clean and the housekeeper clearly does her job well. The shower room is modern and comfortable; the bathroom older and less good but it was still fine for us. The cottage does have a feel of being someone's home rather than a dedicated holiday cottage, and from what I was told this is actually the case. We have stayed in various Irish cottages and certainly do not expect a 5 star hotel... The cottage stacked up well against other places we have stayed. With this in mind a couple of suggestions for improvement. The sofas are truly a relic of the past and were not comfortable at all. The kitchen is basic - which was fine by us - but a new set of pans would really help. For us it was a great place to stay and we really enjoyed our time there.

Nice location, in a beautiful part of Connemara. Very quiet with spendid bay view. Luxurious cottage with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Booked this cottage for easy access to the sea which was at the end of the “garden” ( per the description). Disappointingly, the “garden” was a field cattle use ( with the requisite droppings). No clear path to shore. Brambles. An incline with lots of dips and boggy wet hollows. Ruined shoes on day one.The water is seaweed covered big boulders and slippy rocks. After the first day we didn’t bother trying again, choosing instead to drive half an hour each time we wanted to raft or swim. The view was lovely and neighbouring dogs friendly. So we’re the gnats, but I believe they were extra abundant this year.

You can really disconnect from all over the daily stress. Your body and your mind will be thankful for it. The scenery of the landscape is like going to te museum everyday. I will miss it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our few days at the cottage in Cashel. It was surrounded by magnificent scenery and Mrs Flagherty, the Housekeeper, was wonderfully helpful. We would certainly go there again. Our only issue was not very powerful shower and bath towels were too small.

Don't expect sunshine when you go to Connemara. Gray weather is the norm here. However, when the weather, sea and landscape are gray, you don't need another gray house: the living room is furnished with old furniture that hasn't only become uncomfortable after all the people who have sat on it. The kitchen transports you back to the time when you were studying, when nothing fitted together and everything was old and used. A shaky, tiny bench is available outside for the few hours that the sun actually shines. You can just about put a cup or a glass in the window frame behind. Unfortunately, you can only enjoy the nice view if you are sitting at the table in the kitchen. Conclusion: even the modern bathroom (one of two) cannot make up for the loveless impression, especially since there is no coziness in the evenings either, since the wood-burning stove can only be fired by an expert and the lighting is more reminiscent of public buildings.
