We hadn’t planned on staying in this cottage. We had booked the adjoining Cottage not realizing both bedrooms were upsta

The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was clean and we appreciated the walk-in shower.

The sofa in the living room were extremely uncomfortable. They were very low to the ground hard to get in and out of for people who are older.

Quick overnight stop in The Old School House.

It was such a nice place to stay with an interesting history. It was roomy and had a good sized sitting area for our group of 4. We enjoyed the fireplace too. The beds were comfortable and it was only a short walk of about 15 minutes into town. Our host, Rita was very responsive and handled any issues straight away. She also had great suggestions for local eateries. We tried Guys Bar and Snug and would definitely recommend it. It was a good base for the Sky Road, Connemara National Park and Kylemore Abbey.

Would have been nice just to have a bit of milk in the fridge for a cuppa.

Charming home within walking distance on Connemara’s best little town.

It felt authentic. We enjoyed making a fire in the stove in the evening. It was very easy and we had everything we needed.

Wish there was a lock on the bedroom door for privacy.

9.0 / 10.0

Wish we had stayed longer

Very comfortable and quiet with a lovely garden. Located an easy ten minute walk outside Clifden in pretty countryside. We took a longer walk into town for dinner, as recommended by Rita, and enjoyed wonderful views. The beds were super comfortable and you could tell a lot of care had been put into the property

I had trouble regulating the temperature of the shower until realising if you press the eco button it’s ok

10.0 / 10.0

A gorgeous place to get away.

The Old School House is absolutely ideal in every regard. It's such a cosy and inviting house with everything you need. Michael and Rita are warm and welcoming and the location is perfect for exploring Connemara or just rambling into Clifden.

Nice cottage, but disappointing winter stay with heating and shower issues

Lovely spacious cottage near the town centre. Good location to get around.

We booked this property for New Year's primarily because of the stove, which we thought would be cosy and ideal for the freezing weather at this time of year. Unfortunately, there was barely enough wood or firelighters for even one fire. Before entering the house, we asked the host about the availability of wood and were told there was a Lidl nearby where we could buy more. On top of that, we struggled to figure out how to operate the stove and ended up relying mostly on the radiators. This aspect could definitely be improved, especially for guests staying during winter. Another major issue was the shower. The water temperature fluctuated wildly, alternating between freezing cold and scalding hot every few seconds, making it very uncomfortable to use.

Wonderful stay

The house was beautiful and location close to Clifden. Great location for exploring the area.

An extra toilet would be good. Bathroom door lock didn’t work, but they had a good signage system.

The Old School House

It was in a lovely location. Very comfotable. They allowed us in earlier, which was so kind of them. Thank you to the hosts.

6.0 / 10.0

Comfortable but no washing machine.

Good location, parking,

The amenities list a tumble drier and ironing equipment. There is no tumble drier or ironing board. The listing states that there will be extra charges for laundry and ironing. I think this must be a recent change as I would not have booked this property without it having a washing machine. I would not pay €10 for a load of laundry when it is cheaper at the launderette.

8.0 / 10.0

Comfortable property in a good location

Excellent location. Roomy, comfortable property which was well equipped. Pleasant hosts.

We do not feel it is necessary to ask people to strip the beds on leaving, clean the property etc. It saves the hosts so little time and the guests are supposed to be on holiday.

Very good

Nice Cottage for a family! We really enjoyed our stay there. Lots of space. Comparing with the other prices for accomodations in Connemara also quite fair. Kitchen was well equipped. Bathroom and shower clean with constant water pressure.

Mattrasses are a little bit saggy.

So welcoming, cosy and homely.

What a wonderful holiday property! It already looks lovely from the outside but the inside really impressed us. The rooms are beautifully furnished and decorated. Everything was super clean and the sweet pieces of decorations and the fresh flowers made the house very welcoming, cosy and homely. The garden and the patio area are very well kept and inviting. We have met the owners a few times during our stay... they were very warm, welcoming and helpful. It's been great to stay in The Old School House and we are hoping to be back one day soon.

There was absolutely nothing we didn't like!!!
