"We had a wonderful week in this lovely cottage, Bog Road, Clifden, Connemara, Co.Galway, Ireland.
This is a very lovely cottage about 4km from Clifden. This was ideal for us as it was the Clifden arts festival which we were able to dip in and out of whilst feeling that we could get back to seclusion afterwards. The cottage is very comfortable in all respects. The kitchen/sunroom was where we spent most of our time as the views from it are stunning. The light is lovely and we feel very restored by this week. We had some lovely coastal walks and some surfing. Liam was very helpful when we were in touch (which wasn't much as everything was fine!)"
Hi Alison and Mark this is Liam responding. We are delighted you are really relaxed after your vacation at Cuach Cottage. Art's week is a very interesting experience in Clifden with artists from all over the world exhibiting their works. See you managed to get in some surfing, great, first visitor to mention in 7 years ! Perhaps you will revisit sometime in the not to distant. Have a safe journey home, Kind regards.
"We've just arrived home from our relaxing stay at Cuach Cottage and miss it already. The cottage was so clean and welcoming which was much appreciated. Beds were comfy, plenty of towels, kitchen was well appointed and there was plenty of peat for our nightly fires after being out in the cool, blustery weather all day. Our favorite part of the home by far was the eat in kitchen due to the gorgeous every changing views seen from the wall of picture windows. The location was perfect for the many day trips we made during our 5 day stay. We drove the Atlantic Way all the to Achill Island and Keem Beach for the breath taking scenery, hiked in Connemara Park, visited Kylemore Abbey and the beautiful gardens, then went south to Cong and surrounding areas. So much to see and great hikes close by as well. We loved this part of Ireland! Thank you Liam and Miriam for your accessibility and for providing such a great home base for us during our stay. Thanks too for your patience with us Texans when trying to figure out the heating system! We made life long memories and shall be back! Guy & Mickey Rowland Round Rock, TX"
Great review, thank you very much Guy and Mickey. We just LOVE to hear back from our visitors as it gives us such an insight as to what we can do to better the experience for visitors to Ireland and Connemara . Every year we try to improve our offering and maintain standards at the highest level. You have arrived safely home to The Windy City ! Used to follow Lee Trevino some years back and he was the greatest golfer, a master playing golf in windy / stormy conditions, and also the funniest person ever. You now have a Home Away From Home tucked away in the very heart of Connemara. Both of you keep well and Marian and myself look forward to your return some day in the not too distant future, Very best, Liam & Marian "Cuach Cottage"
"Super cottage , charmant et confortable; une vue magnifique sur la landscape; nous le recommandons vivement pour découvrir en famille le Connemara. Proche de Clifden ( boutiques, pubs et restaurants) bref un régal !!"
"The cottage was great. Définitively, the best place where we stayed in Ireland. The cottage is near Clifden,easy to find with Liam 's explanations."
“We visited Ireland in May and had the privilege of spending 5 nights in this delightful cottage. Liam wrote to me days before our arrival to give us early heads-up for our visit/stay. We felt such warm welcome as Liam showed interest and care for the welfare of his guests. The cottage appears secluded when we were heading towards its location but once we got settled in, we realised it was less than 10 mins from the town of Clifden, with its own unique blend of shops and eateries. We spent hours in the kitchen soaking in the beautiful scenery, listening to the rustling of the trees as the wind blew. And oh, yes the endearing sight of sheep by the river as seen from the kitchen window! Liam and Marian took great pains to create a very clean, tidy and comfortable place for their guests. Even little precious personal keepsakes belonging to them discreetly placed around the cottage, assured us that they fully welcome their guests into their own home. We just wanted to keep the place clean and treat it with regard and respect. Close proximity to a secluded lake nearby (we shan't spring this mystery here) made such great surprising, pleasant, memorable discoveries, and great photo-opps. A wonderful stay, deserving full 5-stars....!!!”
