Peace and Beauty

Beautiful and peaceful location, lovely views, spacious, comfortable and well-equipped house, big garden. A fantastic area for hill and valley walking, swimming, cycling, music evenings in the local pub, stargazing - just what we like! Our hosts Mary and Hugh were so helpful, easy to contact, and a mine of useful info on local attractions.

Very pleasant stay

We had a very pleasant stay. The house is very spacious, has very nice views on the surrounding area and is well-equiped. It’s very quiet - you hear nothing but the sheep. Perfect location to explore Connemara. Mary has been very helpful and friendly in all our communication.

Fantastic stay in a truly magical place .

We stayed with our family here for a week in May. The house is amazing, comfortable and spotlessly clean. It is in a rural location and is very peaceful. We heard the cuckoos and sheep and not much else. The area is simply beautiful and there are great walks and hikes in every direction, even a laneway behind the house that leads up a mountain! We visited Cong village, and walked around the ruins of the abbey and surrounding woodlands, it took our breath away. We did some sightseeing in Galway city and stopped off in Peacockes Hotel in Maam Cross on the way back - well worth a visit for some gift shopping! The shop in Finny village is well stocked for all your needs. The owner communicated well with us before and during our stay, and answered our questions in a timely fashion. I love that we had a "self service" check in , so we could arrive at any time, the keys were left available to us and the information folder was a great help. We hope to come back next year to this peaceful, magical place.

Dream house in a wonderful location

We booked this house on instinct because the pictures appealed to us.... and we were not disappointed. A really nice house, with a very tasteful and homely atmosphere ... We spent beautiful days as well as rainy days wonderfully. The house is so wonderfully quiet that you can simply switch off. The mountains around the house and the Irish soundscape of sheep and other animals is just pure holiday! Mary is a wonderful host with great tips for the region. Thank you very much!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Kearns

I grew up in this valley and I have retained a a deep attachment to this area of unspoilt natural beauty.
I come here as often as time and family commitments allow. We only rent the property during the summer and other holidays as we like to enjoy it ourselves mostly. We hope you have a safe and pleasant stay here and enjoy the house as much as we do.
We ensure the property is vacant for at least three nights between rentals to allow for deep cleaning.
Thank you.

Why they chose this property

I was lucky to grow up in this village and eventually build a vacation home here. We only rent this property at select times of the year as it is used by ourselves in the quieter seasons. This area is Ireland's hidden gem and is not over run by tour buses or camper vans. The area remains unspoiled and is host to many species of wildflowers and birds .There are several walks nearby and also in the villages of Clonbur and Cong and Cornamona. The walk between Clonbur and Cong is well worth the effort .www.coillte.ie/site/clonbur-wood/ .
There are some beautiful walks around Clonbur woods, developed by Coillte, for all levels of fitness. We are proud to be located within the Joyce Country Western Lakes aspiring Geopark area.
Their website is full of information about the amazing geological aspects of this region http://www.joycecountrygeoparkproject.ie it is most informative and you'll be talking about volcanic activity and karst landscapes and marl lakes before you know it!

What makes this property unique

The house is located in Joyce Country and Western lakes aspiring Geopark region.
https://joycecountrygeoparkproject.ie/en/
There is off road parking for several cars. The nearest neighbours are sheep and birds! We have great views from every window, and fantastic scenery in the local area. The house is located within easy reach of the villages of Clonbur and Cong ( where the Quiet man movie was filmed). Cong and Clonbur villages are very pretty and the grounds of the Abbey in Cong are worth visiting and you can stop for a coffee or some retail therapy in the local area.
We are also ideally located for touring Connemara and are within easy distances from Westport and Galway towns.
