Wonderful trip down memory lane
I used to come to this area every summer when I was a kid, over 30 years ago now. It was great to be back and explore the place with my own kids. Weather wasn't great, but that was exactly how I remembered it. We had lots of fun, exploring the rock pools on the strand in Claddaghduff, and spent a day wandering around Omey Island, even catching a fish off the rocks. Cliften and Clean are both close, with really good seafood and other options. And we did a trip to Hillary Harbour and Leenaun one day too. The house was great, bigger than we imagined. We had loads of space, got the fire going, wifi was good, and the sitting room views out over the ocean were beautiful. Will definitely come back.

Beautiful Views
This cottage is in a wonderfully isolated cove at the end of the Cleggan peninsula, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The location is perfect if you want a quiet break with nothing to do but wander on the rocks by the sea and watch the tide ebb and flow (11 feet of vertical tide). There are pubs nearby, including some with music. The town of Clifden is about 25 minutes way, and the rest of Connemara is just beyond. Fishing and horseback riding are available within a 15-minute drive.
The cottage itself has everything needed for a getaway. It accommodates 7 comfortably. The kitchen is perfect unless you have several chefs at once. The sitting room has a magnificent view of the sea. WiFi, laundry facility, and dishwasher worked perfectly. The caretaker was friendly and helpful.

Location, location, location! Roomy, and right on the coast with a lot of nearby activities.
We enjoyed our stay thoroughly - from the hikes out the back door down to the shoreline, the views out the family room, and the area the cottage is located in. We enjoyed a the ferry ride and activities on Ishbonfin island (hiking, beaches), affordable fishing trip, horseback riding on the beach, great food, and fresh seafood at Cleggan - just a few minutes away. The local corner store can point you towards Johnny King who can hook you up with great crab claws and fresh fish, in addition to the fishing. Clifden is about 15 minutes away and has great shops and restaurants. Omey island is 5 minutes away; nearby is the abbey, national park, Clifden castle, etc...
The house feels like home - plenty of room, nice fireplace, well-furnished with lots of local history. We had one issue (no fault of the house - fuse went bad), and it was very promptly fixed - Eileen was great to deal with!
The view out the living room and off the porch is incredible - we cooked out on the BBQ multiple nights just to enjoy the view and sound of the ocean.
Look forward to our next trip back!
