Our stay at the River Cottage was perfect! We travelled with our 3 children and 2 dogs, and everything about the place made it easy. The cottage has lovely interiors, and the kitchen is well equipped, it really feels like a home from home. It’s also close to Clifden, so you’re never far from shops and supplies for whatever you need. There are some beautiful walks and beaches nearby too, perfect for exploring with the family and dogs. All communication with the host was quick and helpful throughout our stay. We loved our time here and would definitely book again.

The cottage we rented from Conamara Lettings was exactly what was described to us, only better. Clean, comfortable and everything that you would need. And our 2 small dogs were welcome too. A big plus. Communication was excellent and prompt. Overall, a very enjoyable stay i Conamara.

We had 6 people stay at the River cottage and it was a perfect find. Very close to Clifden and beaches, and the house itself is charming with great surrounding views, lovely bedrooms and a fabulour commom area and kitchen. Would thoroughly recommend!

We enjoyed this large and very comfortable cottage for exploring Connemare enomously and everything was there that we needed and expected according to the description. Although directly below a street it is very quiet and cosy with two terrasses. The standard is very high and we can recommend without any hesitation the house for every group up to six persons (although we as a familiy were just four persons).
