"Liam just wanted to let you know we had an early start today so the house is vacant. We shut the heat switch off and all else should be good. Have to thank and commend you both for creating such a welcoming and lovely base for our trip. It couldn't have worked out better. Many thanks and look forward to a return!"

"So after a tough year of work, we decided to take a break before Christmas... OMG, what an amazing find with Cuach Cottage... it was an unforgettable experience... the most beautiful setting in Connemara with the Mountains dropping into the back of the most exquisite kitchen & an unbelievable setting, breathtaking every morning, my heart gallops when I walk into the kitchen & see the beautiful backdrop of the Connemara National park & the most beautiful river which rambles at the back of the cottage... the owners have made this cottage so incredibly special with the beautiful, exquisite touches throughout the whole cottage.. from Linens to candles, etc... this is a place where you can experience luxury, attention to detail & reinvigorate the soul... there are lots of cottages in Connemara but this is a hidden haven/gem & incredibly special... thank you Liam & Marian for allowing my family to experience such a unique sanctuary..."

"We arrived on a blowy wet evening after a magnificent drive through the dramatic landscape of Connemara . Completely tired in a good way . When we found our cottage, opened the gate and saw what we had hoped for. Just opening the front door to a fire that just had to be lit and seeing how lovely and warm the cottage was rejuvenated us. The bedrooms are light and cosy and lovely - beds were very comfortable . But now to the most magnificent view from back kitchen room with three wrap around windows with views of the 12 bens . The dining room and kitchen completely new and modern and a comfortable sitting area at the other end . I didn’t want to leave and it was a wonderful experience . Thank you to Liam and Marian . From Olwen and Cian"

"Die Lage des Cotteges ist traumhaft; mit weitem Blick bis zu den Bergen. Man konnte sich kaum vom Anblick losreißen. Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll und gemütlich. Bei der Ausstattung hat an nichts gefehlt. Es ist absolut zu empfehlen. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Grüße und die netten Gastgeber Familie Müller aus Hamburg"

"Cuach Cottage was my home-away-from-home for five days in the Connemara area, close to Clifden, and I couldn't have chosen a better place! The cottage is absolutely beautiful and super comfortable with all mod cons. Set in a really peaceful spot, I loved sitting outside in the garden with my morning coffee, listening to the gentle sounds of the private river, and the nearby sheep and ponies. Exactly what I needed! Liam and Marian were the perfect hosts - always available to answer any questions, and giving me lots of tips on the best places to visit during my stay. Around here, there's a picture-postcard scene around every corner, and I'll certainly be coming back here again! You will need a car or a bike, if you're staying here; although within easy walking distance, there's no safe footpath into Clifden."

"We spent 5 days of our honeymoon in this beautiful cottage in the breathtaking countryside of Connemara. The cottage is tastefully decorated, warm and cozy. As food lovers, we were delighted that the kitchen was so well equipped. You would never tire of the view of the mountains and the little stream which runs outside the cottage. We explored the Connemara national park and the beautiful beaches of Roundstone and Cleggan. A visit to Inishboffin on the ferry is a must. Liam and Marian are the perfect hosts and we would love to return to this idyllic place."

"This is a beautiful property in its own right! An amazing vista out the back door with a babbling brook. It is so warm and cozy there! It was immaculate and plenty of turf to build fires at night. It can easily accomodate 4-5 people. Well stocked, furnished and it was fantastic to be able to do our wash on site. Thanks so much to Liam and Marian for their great place. I will be returning here!"

"We stayed here for 5 nights in August and aside from the weather, it was perfect. Tranquil location about 5m from Clifden centre. Kitchen/diner is a fabulous space and I don't think the pics actually do the place justice. Service from Liam was fantastic too :)"

"We are just back from a 2-week stay in the absolutely lovely Cuach Cottage. I stayed with my husband and 2 young children and we truly couldn’t have asked for more. The photos didn’t do it justice, it exceeded all expectations. The attention to detail, the internal comforts- the owners have exquisite taste and have thought of everything- and the real sense of being away from everything whilst having all your home comforts to hand was to us unexpected and very much appreciated! The cottage was cozy but also filled with light. It is a mix of old and new school with both complimenting each other to perfection. More than one friend came to visit and commented that despite having seen many of the cottages/ houses that the region had to offer that this one was definitely one of, if not the best. It is very well located. Close to the stunning beaches where we spent our days with the children but also close to Clifton for all the essentials that were required. There are excellent restaurants/ pubs very nearby which should be enjoyed but the cottage is so comfy you may decide to eat in and relax in front of the roaring turf fire which is what we frequently did. The owners are an absolute delight to deal with. They assisted us with everything and no request was too big. We honestly had probably the best 2 week holiday we have ever had and have already booked for next year. I think that just about sums it up!! We really couldn’t recommend it more."

"Prachtig ingerichte cottage, heel compleet en comfortabel. Rustig gelegen maar toch binnen 10 minuten in het gezellige Clifden. Het uitzicht vanuit de woonkeuken en het terras is geweldig en we hebben genoten van het kabbelende riviertje. Alleen ter info...de WiFi was erg beperkt, want die schijnt alleen bedoeld te zijn om je mail te checken. Liam zou dit overigens wel aan gaan passen. Kleinigheidje dus, en verder echt een aanrader!"

"Thank you Liam and Marian for sharing your beautiful cottage, we had a wonderful stay. We especially enjoyed the stunning location. Sitting in the kitchen/studio room admiring the views which changed from hour to hour. The sunrise and sunset were stunning. Walked every day from the cottage, exploring the many private walks. Our favorite being the Lough Fada walk, and yes we found the ancient Crannog! The cottage was impeccably clean, with comfy beds, fresh linens, towels, etc. no skimping here. It is also beautifully decorated with many pretty original pieces and superbly equipped, ( a cook's dream ! ). We will most definitely return, hopefully in September when Clifden's renowned Art's Festival is on. The Booking was trouble-free and seamless from beginning to end with Liam being extremely helpful with regards to our interests and suggestions/recommendations on eateries etc. A most definite 5 Stars to you both, well done Marian and Liam for a truly memorable stay in Cuach Cottage."

"Particularly loved the bright, airy kitchen leading out to the garden seating area!! What a view too! Loved all the quirky things on the walls & I thought whoever did the interior design had great taste!! It was all lovely! Another bathroom would be the only thing I would say could improve the cottage .... but does not take away from the great time we had there!!"

 

Marian's thoughts

Mid way through Summer in Cuach Cottage
The end of June is approaching and once again we are observing new life in our surrounds.
Our resident Mallard Ducks have this year reared 7 little ducklings ( BIG FAMILY and so CUTE !! )
The Blue tit family that return each year love the nest box outside the main bedroom window.
Always a bit of competition as to who secures the pent house first,
Two brood’s this year, Mum and Dad been very busy, must be down to the exceptionally dry / warm
June we have had. ( plenty of insects about for the little ones ).
Caught a glimpse of our Fox family, Mum introducing her 2 cubs on daily evening excursions to visit us.
Most evenings guests will leave something out for her.
The Cuckoo that flies all the way from South Africa to breed in Connemara has once again returned and has been very vocal with wonderful morning and evening song . ( CUCKOOING !! )
Has been fun to watch the little birds give chase to this much larger bird, you know it takes over the nest of much smaller fliers, ie. the Reed Warbler, but that’s nature, it abounds at Cuach Cottage,
Enjoy nature's spectacle .Every season brings its own magic.

Michele's Review

Cruach Cottage is a gem. It’s a home from home. The turf fire was lighting when we arrived and we instantly felt welcome, relaxed, warm and cozy. The view is magnificent. We loved being there so much that we stayed an extra night. Liam and Marian could not have been more helpful, with local tips and advise. We will be back.

"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"
