“Lovely spot with fires lit when we arrived. Very comfortable cottage with good spacious comfortable bedrooms. Lovely views. There is a sitting room, well equipped kitchen and a separate dining room. Great spot to admire views in a quiet setting, however only a short 5 min drive to the nearest beach, and short drives for shops. I’d stay here again.” –  Dermot Feb 2023

“Lovely situated house, far from people and other houses, close to another beautiful spots. Huge house, very well supplied. Gorgeous view from each bedroom. Easy contact with owner.” Anna December 2022

“A lovely cottage, with plenty of rooms for a big group but still feeling cosy, wood fires lit on arrival which was so welcoming, location and scenery out of this world. Kitchen well equipped for self catering, wanted for nothing. Will definitely choose this house again.” Anne Marie December 2022.

“The view from this property is wonderful. There is plenty of room for a fairly large family or party. Be ready for rain, but then this is Ireland, and enjoy the almost ever changing appearance of the hills as the shadows of the clouds move across. Very easy to get anywhere on the Connemara Loop road and further. Our recommendations would be any of the amazing beaches, get to the national park if you like walking and be sure make a visit to Kylemore Abbey.” – Timothy Jul 2022

“Most amazing views.  Everything provided in the accommodation you could think of.  Will definitely be using this place in the future.  Absolutely gorgeous” – Judith April 2022

“We had a wonderful time in Lough Fee cottage.  Kathleen was nice and helpful.  Fires had been made in the living room and kitchen.  The house was very clean and comfortable.  There are so many walking trails around.  Beautiful beaches just a few minutes from the house.  Nice villages.  Friendly people.  Great food.  The view on the lake and the sheep.  There was sugar, tea and coffee in the kitchen (no salt, pepper or oil and vinegar but two packets of cakes!)  Good value for the money.  We just want to go back there” – Fabienne February 2022

“You could not find a more stunning location for a house, even in the bad weather! House was well stocked and very clean. Although it sleeps 9 the living space is really only for 6. We had a lovely holiday and would happily go back-Stunning location.”-Meadhbh August 2019

“Nice place to get away from everything. The house is is a beautiful remote location but close enough to small shops and amenities. Rooms are all large and very comfortable. Great kitchen, all you need, great fireplaces that use turf. We understand it is remote but there is no WiFi and the option to use the payable dongle is not great. It took €20 and within 1 hour of very light browsing the €20 ran out. Don’t waste your money on the dongle. Go to the cafe instead. The hosts are excellent. We had a great holiday. We would love to come back.”- Joe July 2018

“Breathtakingly beautiful. Loved the location and the house. Will almost certainly return to same place. Only downside is 1 bathroom for larger groups sharing is difficult. Also one bed is a queen size – cramped for 2 adults. Otherwise best location I’ve ever stayed in!!” Franchine July 2018
