We spent three lovely days at this charming B&B. Every morning started with a delicious breakfast and a friendly little chat that made us feel right at home. Edwina was a wonderful host, sharing great tips on cozy pubs to visit and the most scenic routes to explore by car. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Greetings from the dutch family!

We were very happy to spend six nights here. It was clean, comfortable and cosy. Edwina provided wonderful breakfasts and great help planning our time in Connemara. The location is great for seeing the country and also conveniently located a few minutes walk for excellent pubs and restaurants.
Oh Edwina! We loved being your guests! You are so lovely and welcoming. You clearly know how to make people feel taken care of. Thank you for your generosity in making my husband's birthday special. We will miss you! Come stay with us in Canada anytime!
