Comments from Owner Guestbook

The cottage is very lovely and really has an old world character. Cleggan is a small village which seems to be at the end of the world - or at least close to it. Nevertheless it is a good place to start trips in the connemara region and of course it is a place of silence. The cottage was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. The arrival was a bit strange. The cottages around are not really in the best shape. But this was forgotten after we walked into the house.

The cottage was extremely clean, comfortable and we felt instantly at peace. Set at a comfortable walking distance from the village of Cleggan and a stunning beach, after a couple of days touring we really couldn't have been happier and rarely strayed more than a few miles from 'home'. Refreshed and exhilirated by our first trip to one of the most beautiful parts of the world and only four hours from our doorstep. Thanks Anne. X

We thoroughly enjoyed our wonderful stay at the cottage. The experience was everything that we hoped. It was so comfortable we all felt as if we had "come home". We wish the owner and her family much happiness, they certainly provided us with a great vacation!!

Very nice, self-contained home. There were five of us staying, and the place was roomy, convenient and comfortable. We were able to fix our own meals, do our laundry, and bathe. We drove from there to sites in the area. I'd highly recommend it.

The property matches its description. It is a nice cottage in the small village in Cleggan. The journey to and from the village provides you with such scenic views especially the lakes on both sides of the roads before you get to Clifden. It is a wonderful away from it all village, where you can slow down and appreciate the pace it offers....

This spacious cottage is very lovely and well kept in excellent condition. The bedrooms are also nice size and comfy - 2 with sea views and 1 with a wonderful countryside view, and the bathrooms are also very large. The location is unbeatable - as indicated, it is a 5 min walk from the village and Sallerna beach, with plenty of space for parking as well. I was welcomed with a turf fire and groceries - very warm and inviting. The village of Cleggan has friendly, hospitable people and plenty of pubs to choose from - plus being a short drive from neighboring villages and towns - Clifden, Letterfrack, etc. I wanted a lovely cottage in a friendly quaint Irish village by the sea - and this is exactly what I got! I even extended my stay for another week because I had such a fantastic time. I will be back to this cottage and to Cleggan time and time again! I can't say enough wonderful things about Anne, the cottage, Cleggan, and Connemara in general.

We were in Ireland for three weeks, Cleggan being the last hurrah. Each week I was sure that the previous home could not be "beat" and was sure I'd be letdown. Boom...Cleggan. The best place and best area ever. Your house was comfortable, cozy, lovely and more than anticipated. Cleggan....why even leave the town? It has everything, fishing, piers, pubs, music, horses, fantastic view, wonderful people. We did it all (and some that I care to forget ...singing at Olivers' after just a wee bit too much wine). Neumans on Sunday, Joyces' on Friday, dancing, singing. Riding Omey Beach, Fishing with Johnny and Ray. Inisbofin, Sky Road, Clifden, Westport, Cong, Connemara. And each day coming home to your house! I actually bought over $100 worth of "dirt" (peat for my fireplace) to bring home. Everything you need within walking distance. Your website if good, but hardly does your house justice! Make sure all visitors check out all the horses across your street. Thank you so very, very much for the grand finale! Thank you for the preserves, bread, butter and ...hmm lots more! Best week ever! Best beds ever, best view ever, best shower ever, best clothes line ever....
We hope to be back next year!

This is one of five residences on a small road about 5 minutes out of Cleggan. The parking area (eg "yard") in front of the building is filled with garbage--old clothes, paper... The house, itself is small. I wouldn't recommend renting property.
