Wonderful week in a beautiful country. Great hosts. Loved the scones

We have just enjoyed a wonderful stay in this comfortable, clean and well equipped cottage. It is in the most beautiful area with facilities close by. The hosts Padraig, Hilda and family could not have been more friendly or helpful. It was lovely to arrive to some delicious treats and fresh flowers. Nothing was too much trouble and everything has clearly been carefully thought through. Thank you Julianne and Keith

Trs jolie maison avec propritaires sympas !

Fabulous cottage, thanks to Hilda and Padraig for making our stay so enjoyable.

What an absolutely beautiful cottage in a beautiful location, there were 5 of us staying, 2 teenage boys and 1 pre teen and all were very happy enough space for all and to play football and run around, and close enough for days out. And each evening took a stroll down to the lake to watch the sunset. The owners are lovely lovely people so friendly and helpful and the scones and biscuits in the welcome basket were the best we had ever tasted and were very much needed after a 12 hour journey.

Sykes used to have an excellent reputation. Sadly that is no longer the case. However this property was maintained to an excellent standard the owner was a local farmer and a real gentleman. The property is a traditional Irish cottage that has been beautifully restored. Its a wonderful opportunity to stay in an old cottage but with modern comforts added.

Michael

I keep returning to this cottage because the location is dreamy and Padraig & Hilda are just the most welcoming hosts you will ever find. You will struggle to find a better place in Ireland.

Claire

We had a fantastic time. The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and friendly. We definitely hope to return.

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage. Very peaceful setting and some beautiful views. Clean and comfortable, well equipped. Thoughtful gestures with fire being laid, scones jam and butter left, daffodils in vase. Padraig called over to check all ok. Would love to return. Thank you both.

I had a fabulous stay at this cosy cottage. Hilda kindly had a roaring fire lit for me prior to my arrival which was most welcome on a cold January evening and ample fuel available for the duration of my visit. The cottage was spotlessly clean throughout and anything I needed was at hand including some tasty cookies and scones on arrival. Perfect base to tour around Connemara and check out the beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended.

Lovely cottage in a great location to tour Connemara. Very friendly and helpful owners. Amazing views from the windows, good WiFi if you need to work while you are there and big log burner for cosy evenings in. They have a good selection of board games and we were welcomed with some yummy treats

We spent a lovely week despite the rainy days. The place is a very wellrenovated old house. Thanks to the owners to preserve this heritage. The views from the house are fantastic, and the fireplace makes the interior very relaxing. It was our first trip to Ireland and we really enjoyed it. Lakes, mountains, rivers, agricultural landscapes, the area is really rich for nature lovers. And on top of that, the owners are very kind. We highly recommend the place.

We loved the cottage. It was comfortable and well equipped, in a lovely position with views of lake and mountains. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Not too far from the nearest supermarket and an excellent pub which served good food.

Set in a beautiful location with mountain views, Lough Maske a short stroll over a field with easy fishing this cottage is a dream. Within easy reach of Cong The location for The Quiet Man John Wayne movie Galway City, Satlhill and Spiddal with white sand beaches and gentle strolls on the prom.
