The House: This is a beautiful Traditional thatched cottage in an idyllic location right next to Claddaghduff village. It has great views of the sea and Omey Island. Claddaghduff is a good centre for a holiday and is about 8 miles from Clifden. The walk to the beach is only a few minutes. Omey Island can be reached on foot at low tide across the famous Omey Strand. Each year the hold the Omey races on the strand for 1 day only and this is an experience not to be missed! There are also a great walks in the area including the Aughrus Peninsula circular walk and the Cleggan Head walk.
There is a shop and pub in the village of Claddaghduff just a 5 min walk away. In the nearby village of Cleggan there are three pubs and a shop and you can catch a ferry here to visit the islands of Inishbofin and Inishturk. You can also go deep sea fishing on one of the local charter boats. On a clear summer evening there is a spectacular view of the sunset across the sea and Atlantic islands.
Inside: You walk into a great little porch where you can leave your sandy clothes or your mucky boats. Off a small corridor to your left you will find a cosy high ceiling sitting room with sea views. Enjoy the open fire or take a seat at the writing desk and get creative while watching the sea. From the sitting from you have a few steps down into the kitchen/dining area. The kitchen has everything you could want to cook a great seafood meal for the family aswell as dishwasher, washing machine & dryer. At the other end of the room you find the dining table in the conservatory area, offering you sea views while you enjoy your meal. At the other end of the cottage you find a twin & double room both with sea views. And a large bathroom with large walk-in shower & separate bathroom.

The cottage is in a perfect location for exploring this part of Connemara. The views across to Omey island are the perfect way to start the day over breakfast in the conservatory. All the communication and information was excellent - lots of ideas of things to do and even a phone number for the farmer who sells turf. We were delighted when the turf arrived and loved having a roaring fire in the evenings - we needed it as the cottage was quite cold. The conservatory nicely warmed up in the sun but the bedroom remained cold throughout our stay - we could have asked how to put the heating on but instead used the blankets we found in the wardrobe. Its not the most comfortable house - the living room furniture is very hard, as are the conservatory chairs so its not good if you want to read and relax. We wished we'd taken our own pillows... The kitchen was well equipped and clean and the shower was hot. The house was fairly clean but there was a build up of dust on, around, and under the furniture and doors. Great walks from the door to and around Omey island, we took the ferry to fantastic Inishbofin, drove on the Sky Road/ West Atlantic Way and swam at beautiful beaches when it wasn't too windy. Glad we stocked up on staples before we arrived. The shop had limited stock. It's a beautiful area for a holiday but we decided we'd prefer a bit more comfort in the seating and beds after long days walking. Great holiday but we might look for a different cottage another time. Would recommend for location and facilities but not if you're looking for relaxed comfort.

On arrival at the property we discovered the agent was not expecting us so the house key was not there and after several phone calls we eventually got in when the house keeper arrived. The house had not been cleaned and no beds made up. The fridge was dirty and no loo paper or kitchen paper etc supplied. The agent did give us a refund in fairness but 1st impressions are so important. Also we had no TV or microwave available
