This appartement is perfect : very clean, confortable, everything look new and refreshed. Each room have is own bathroom. It was actually even better than we expected regarding the photos, I highly recommend, Cathy is a wonderful host, welcoming and so lovely. Don't hesitate, you will enjoy your stay I guarantee it !

La casa es muy bonita y con supermercados y tiendas. Es imprescindible coche para moverte. El unico inconveniente que nosotros no sabiamos fue las escaleras. Fuimos con nuestra hija de 2 años y hay que tener mil ojos. Pero el resto bien.

Thw apartment is great. The large bedrooms and 2 showers were excellent. The kitchen was fully equipped and we even used the laundry machine. Liam was very helpful in locating the hidden gems of the area. Also there lots of food products we used. All in all - very good choice!

It was nice to return to my home town and find such a smart and modern apartment in the centre of Gort, with excellent views of the local Square and very convenient for visiting family in the local area. There are plenty of restaurants on the doorstep, and a drive from some excellent places such as The Burren, Coole Park and Corrofin, Ballyvaughan etc. The apartment is clean and bright and easily accommodates 4 or 5 people. We will return again no doubt. Cathy and Liam are excellent hosts and were very accommodating. Thanks and all the best. Louise, Olga, Ed and Heidi.

We loved the appartment, fantastic location, lovely big bedrooms and showers and a well equipped kitchen. Thank you Cathy for responding so quickly to emails and being flexible about our check-in and also for the tea/coffee/breakfast stuff, which was much appreciated. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this appartment.

Very nice, modern, comfortable appartment, in the middle of a nice village, with lots to see near by. Communication with Cathy was good. Would recommend this to everybody !!

Liam and Cathy were really easy to get a hold of and very friendly. The space was comfy and the kitchen was quite accommodating. The location is great sand right off of the motorway! There are pubs and dining nearby too. A definite stay for self catering bnb!

Cathy and Liam were excellent hosts. They really looked after us. The accommodation was fantastic, really suited our needs. And the location was excellent - close to The Burren and the Cliffs of Moher. And the nearby Coole Park was an additional revelation. A big thank you!

The house was spacious and had everything we needed. We had lots of space for the 6 of us. Joe and Tricia were amazing hosts. They met us when we got there and were very helpful. We were very excited to get some laundry done after a week away and trying to travel light. The house is very modern. We loved our stay there. Gort is a friendly town and a beautiful area.

As stated before this house is a top air bnb. Good communication and good information available. We prolonged our stay because of the options and localisation. Thanks again and well done for Joe and his family.

This house and location were perfect for our family of six. The home has everything we needed including state-of-the-art gorgeous kitchen and lovely yard and gardens. The neighborhood is very quiet but just a five minute walk from a couple of pubs, some restaurants, and a grocery store. The town turned out to be a great launchpad for day trips to Burren, Adare, Cliffs of Moher and Aran Islands. Joe was very helpful in sending us area information ahead of time and immediately answering all questions as they arose. We couldn't have been more pleased.

Joe Отличный хозяин.Дом идеально подходит для отдыха. Организация идельная, читота, все необходимое для туриста есть в доме. Joe всегда доступен, и отзывчев. Joe cпасибо тебе.

We recieved a warm welcome from Joe and Trish who had kindly waited for us as were delayed and they had left us a chilled bottle of wine :). We found everything in the house easy to use and we quickly settled into The Maples.In the evenings we sat around the kitchen table or in the garden discussing our day,both very good areas for socialising. The locality of the house was great for us as we were over visiting family in Gort,but is also an ideal base for visiting the surrounding area. The house had everything we needed and more,slippers in the hallway and toiletries in all the bathrooms. The area was very quiet. We enjoyed being able to spend some family time in comfortable surroundings. We look forward to returning to The Maples.

The house is located in a very quiet environment. It is an ideal place if you want to visit Clarke or Galway co. Joe was very friendly and gave us many tips which helped us a lot to discover the area. We strongly recommend Joe's house both for the nice place and for the wonderful greetings you will receive.

Joe nous a laissé de bonnes indications pour trouver la maison dans un quartier où elles sont toutes semblables donc cela a été très utile. Les échanges que nous avons eu ont été très sympas. La maison est bien placée,grande et très bien équipée. L'environnement est calme et nos excursions dans le Burren furent très agréables. Le Connemara un peu plus éloigné est resté accessible et le périple mémorable. Je recommanderai vivement cette location à qui que ce soit : parfait !!

remarquable maison, très bien équipée, propreté impeccable, literie au top avec très beau linge de maison.tout est fait pour se sentir comme chez soi.ideale pour les familles A recommander les yeux fermes.

The apartment is located down town, and is close to many restaurants and three supermarkets. Galway is also close, by bus or driving. The beds are comfortable and every room is very bright. Not included breakfast is not a problem, as there are some places really close to have it.

Sarah's apartment is definitely one of the most unique places we stayed in. Deco and artistic touches make it oh so inspiring for all creative souls out there! The quality of the finishings, duvets, towels and cosmetics was amazing and let us feel pampered and spoiled. The apartment is spacious and central with free parking after 6 ( free parking spaces few minutes away). Downstairs cafe offers excellent food and ambience. We've visited Gord for Castle Cutra Triathlon series and had secure bike storage as well as being just a stone throw away from the Castle. We will surely be back and highly recommend this place to anyone.

Sarah was an excellent host and made myself and my family feel very welcome. She went as far as to leave a freshly baked loaf for us in the kitchen as well as a sketch pad and crayons for my daughter which was a very thoughtful touch. The apartment itself was beautiful, just as shown in the images on AirBnb. It was incredibly relaxing to stay in at night. Being above the restaurant meant that you could hear a little of the music from downstairs when in the kitchen/living area but it was very low and in fact, myself and my wife quite enjoyed that!! Also it did not go on past 10pm ish. You could not hear it at all in the bedrooms itself. We did not spend a lot of time in Gort itself but did enjoy the beautiful walks in Coole Park and visiting the Yeats Tower. We also ate in the restaurant at the Gallery one evening. The food in the restaurant was outstanding and the staff were delightful. One member even went out of her way to make sure that my daughter discovered the secret well downstairs filled with gold fish, which she loved! We couldn't be happier with our stay. Thank you very much Sarah!!!

Spacious comfortable apt above a fantastic cafe. Good location for seeingthe Burren.

We chose Gort, because it is close to the Wild Atlantic Way, The Burren and Galway and we chose Sarah's appartment and spent a very nice week there. It is very comfortable, spacious and bright and we could also taste Sarah's delicious cakes, brown bread as well as the recommendable and delicious food at the gallery cafe below the flat. Even if we have seen each other just briefly, thank you Sarah for your kindness!

We are a couple with a 18-month baby. We loved the experience. Nice, bright and quite big artistic flat and the café on the ground floor serve delicious food. We visited the Coole Park and Kinvara. Very very nice stay. Sarah is very welcoming. We highly recommend it.

Fabulous apartment above an amazing restaurant. Great spot to stay. Sarah is so warm and friendly. Couldn't do enough for us. I asked for champagne glasses and she arrived with strawberries and edible flowers to go with it!!! It's very close to the burren so grest if you want to explore the burren. Well recommended!

Appartement bien situé et agréable. Propreté et linge de maison de très bonne qualité. Pour nous le gros point négatif reste le manque d'équipement. - micro-onde - casserole et vaisselles - lave linge - sèche linge - four non opérationnel - lave vaisselle non opérationnel - chaise - téléviseur

The rooms were clean and we would recommend this place.

The location of the accomodation is really close to the coole park which was great for exploring it. We bearly talked to the host but she seemed kind and was encouraging us to ask what ever we wanted to know. The only negative point was that the room was described as a large room, but we were only able to open a cabine aproved suit case in that room.

Della has been a very nice host. The house and the room we stayed in was very clean and cozy. I recommend to everyone who wants to visit the cliffs of moher and Galway, as it is located perfectly in the middle between those two places.

Great location. Easily accesible. Della(owner) is very nice and helpful. She has prepared a short list of most frequently asked questions and guide regarding nearby sights, which is very nice of her. (If we had any additional question, she was happy to help). She has a great common area with fireplace and tea for travelers so you do not have to be just in your room all the time which we liked.

Della was hands down the best host ever we could have had. She drove us everywhere and I literally mean everywhere around Gort and even to the fishing village nearby from where we took our bus to Cliffs of Moher. She guided us how to get to Gort from Galway- and picked us up when we got there. Gort is a lovely scenic place with amazing pubs, restaurants and beautiful scenic farms. Cooke Park is also amazing where the place is close to and has some of the best nature trails. She's amazing to stay with- she recommended the best places to eat and hang out and we had a hassle free stay.

Amazing place to stay beautiful house

Nice and quite place. Della is very kind and she's able to advise you many tips for trips.

Everything nice and clean, friendly reception!

This is a quaint cottage hosted by one of the friendliest couples we've met on our journey in Ireland. They are available if needed, but they grant you your own space in the house. The bed and sitting room furniture are so comfortable, it's hard to get up and get going. There is plenty of room to roam throughout the vintage house. It's in Gort which is a nice little town with shops and pubs and only a 25 minute drive to Galway.

Great accommodations and lovely hosts.

Excellent hosts highly recommend

Excellent. 5*

Great spot. Spacious room in lovely old house. Very accommodating of my unsocial hours! Peaceful and quiet. Great stay, thanks a million.

We were made to fell very welcome in their beautiful country home, only a few minutes from town.

Very kind and welcoming hosts! I was in Gort for a wedding and really appreciated the hospitality because I was on my own. House is fabulous and had a very comfortable stay. Thank you.

Our stay was very comfortable with a feel of home and hospitality. Brigid stayed up for us since we weren't able to be there on time and was very welcoming. The pricing was amazing for such a great stay and good nights sleep! Thanks again Brigid!

Lesley's house is perfect, very well organized and equiped, clean, near the center, calm area. It has a very good backyard for kids. We felt like our home. Lesley is very gentil and friendly, comunication is very good and easy.

I can't begin to describe how perfect of a home it is. The moment I walked in the door I got goosebumps, because it truly is that stunning. There were seven of us, including two 10 month old babies, and there was plenty of room. There is a grocery store near by and top notch appliances to make delicious meals. The town is quaint and charming; we made friends with almost everyone! It was super close to some beautiful attractions, including the Cliffs. I would recommend in heartbeat.

We loved the easy access to various scenic paths and sites along the Wild Atlantic Way. The convenience of being near the charming town of Gort and historical Coole Park. Angela's home is lovely and sits in a beautiful green setting. It is, also, an easy distance to Galway. Lastly and best of all is the kind lady Niamh who coordinates things and helps you out if you need it. Hope we will have the opportunity to visit again. Brian & Holly

Great origional house at perfect location to visit Ennis, Galway and Atlantic Coast. Enjoyed our stay!

We had a lovely time at Angela's airbnb! Charming town within an hour drive to many of Ireland's must see stops. Would come here again in a heartbeat. P.S. eat at The Gallery in Gort for a fantastic meal!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Angela's home. Close to the quaint little village of Gort. Home had everything we required in a beautiful country setting. Hubby had to make a quick run to the grocery store for some toilet paper upon arrival but other than that everything was well stocked and just lovely!! Niamh met us in Gort and we followed her out and she was lovely and cheerful and had us all feeling at home in no time! Would return in a heartbeat!

The house was really nice - a place where you liked to go back in the evening after a full day of sightseeing. It was spacious and nicely furnished and equipped with everything

very good location for touring. Lovely house with all you need.

Long driveway, big open kitchen, views of fields and cows, massive bathroom, wooden floorboards ... What an amazing house! The photos highlight the space but don't capture the feeling, which is one of calm and tranquility. The house has a lived in feel - like staying at a friends who had gone away for a while. We happily stayed in Angela's house for three nights. The supermarket is a few mins drive away and had everything we could reasonably need. It is perfectly located - 1 hr to the Cliffs, 45 mins to Galway, 30 mins to Ennis. You would need to drive to get to a pub or restaurant for dinner, but only a few minutes (or bravely walk the road for 15-20 mins). Angela was very responsive on email, Niamh was just lovely and showed us around the house, and John the caretaker made sure we were all ok. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it, particularly for families with young kids (2 and 4 yrs old) like ours.

La casa è in campagna, fuori dal centro abitato ed in ottima posizione se si vogliono visitare Galway, Doolin e le Cliff of Moher. Anna è disponibilissima, un ottima ospite e prepara delle colazioni fantastiche. In casa si vive la vera atmosfera irlandese sentendosi come a casa propria. Consigliatissimo per chi vuole vivere l'Irlanda otre che visitarla.

Anne was such an amazing host from start to finish. The room was perfect, so comfortable and clean. She left out water, tea, and treats for us. She asked us did we want breakfast but because we were going to a wedding we said we might sleep in. She left cereal and fruit etc. Outside the room for us incase we changed our minds. She was so helpful. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay. Thank you so much Anne for making our stay so enjoyable :)

We had a great one night stay at Edna's house. It accommodates a family of five and is very conveniently located in the quiet residential area right off the main motorway.

Our group of 2 couples stayed at the house for 2 nights. The house had a lot of space available and we really liked the fireplace. On the downside one of the bed linen had make-up stains on them. Most of the mugs in the kitchen were also sticky. So the mostly positive impression was cut down due to cleanliness issues. Beyond that the neighbourhood was quite and safe.

Enda was a lovely host, showing us the functions of his very modern, clean and comfortable house. Very comfy beds, relaxing bath and showers, an inviting fireplace, sunny garden as well as a large TV including sky... just to name a few, were all superb. Could have not asked for more. We will definitely visit again, if we are around Gallway. I can only recommend this quiet and relaxing house, we were able to call home right away.

The host canceled this reservation 11 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The host canceled this reservation 12 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

One word: AMAZING ! It was superb. Although the location was out of nowhere, it's a much needed break from the city. The night sky was brilliant ! Stood outside the whole night, staring at the sky. SCONES WERE BRILLIANT TOO ! Not only that, the owners brought us to see their farms and houses as well ! Definitely would come here again !!!! Like ... the whole experience was amazing

Perfect place for our family to stay as it's nearby our house. Well equipped kitchen, cosy farmhouse style. All renovated and with lovely touches (hot water bottles and slippers). 7 Min drive from Gort and Coole Park and nearby wild atlantic way. This is a lovely place to stay if you prefer quiet country over city/town noise. we will rent again.

Una and Liam are excellent hosts! We had freshly baked scones and bread on arrival and the fire was going. Super cozy place. Breakfast and fruit provided even along with a drop of whiskey and baileys. Loved the slippers they provided!! Highly recommended this place to anyone!!!!

One of the best, if not the best, Air BnB experiences we have been through. Thank you Una and Liam.

My family & I have done many Airbnbs in both the US and Europe, and I can say Liam was the most wonderful host of all. He is a true local and helped guide us on the local attractions. He also arranged a special trip for my daughter to a local farm for the morning milking and invited my son to go for a run with the local hurling team. We did not get to meet Una as she was in hospital (wishing you a speedy recovery!) The property is a true country cabin. While there is a nice walk from the house; the walk to town is too far to be practical for shopping or dining out. You will need a car. If you want posh, this is not your place. The beds are comfy, there was ample wood for the stove and there is room to stretch out a little. We loved it.

We've had a lovely time here! Una and Liam are very hospitable and keep the house well equipped! This is a cozy home, and nicely tucked into a quiet farmland. Just note that this is located in Gort Co. Galway, not in Galway itself. So if you're wanting to get out of the city, but not be too far for a drive, I'd highly recommend it!

Una and Liam are magnificent hosts and their lovely cottage is in an amazingly unspoilt, quiet and scenic location, immersed in the countryside that is nonetheless close to all the attractions of the local area. The house is cosy and well kitted out with extremely comfortable beds and lovely bed linen. We slept magnificently as it so quiet there. The house is comfortably furnished and the kitchen is very well equipped - Una even left us freshly baked bread and scones which we happily devoured! I highly recommend this house to anyone looking for peace and quiet and a great base from which to tour the Burren and local area. We'll definitely be back!

Nos hemos sentido como en casa. Ellos fueron muy amables y atentos con nosotros. La casa está situada a 5 minutos del pueblo y es un lugar apartado y silencioso. Sin duda repetiríamos la estancia.

We absolutely loved staying at Cormorant Cottage ! The setting is perfectly gorgeous. We felt like special guests from the moment we arrived. The cottage has a charming rural appeal. We were greeted and made to feel at home immediately. Everyone was so helpful and sincerely devoted to insuring that we had a wonderful stay. We definitely want to come back !

Ottima accoglienza in questa casa splendida nel mezzo di un grande parco e a fianco di un castello affacciato su un lago Prati verdi e cavalli che pascolano liberi fuori dalla finestra 3 camere da letto ed un salotto con camino che, ahime', abbiamo anche acceso anche se era agosto Necessario per il breakfast a disposizione Ottimo base per visitare Galway, Cliffs of Moher, Doolin e Kilrush per una bellissima crociera per vedere I delfini dello Shannon. Cenato a Gort per 4 sere in 4 posti diversi. Il migliore "The Gallery" nella Market Square. Ottimo parco per fare un circuito di 3 km di running

The Cormorant Cottage Lough Cutra has a wonderful location. Carrie Baker was very helpful as well as the gentleman who was in charge of the Farm and Cottages (Gary). A vehicle is a must. The beauty of the 3000 acre Lake, Farm, Cottages and Castle is spectacular. It feels cozy and mysterious at the same time. Hope to be back. This is a very private place, so get ready to Relax and unwind. Ana

My family's recent stay at Cormorant Cottage was absolutely wonderful. The cottage and grounds are breathtakingly beautiful and extremely well-maintained. The cottage has three nicely-decorated bedrooms (with very comfortable beds), a well-stocked kitchen, a dining room, and a living room with a fireplace, which was so cozy. Chris, the estate manager, was super helpful and thoughtful. There were beautiful fresh-cut flowers waiting for us when we arrived, as well as fresh eggs (from hens on the estate!), rashers (a.k.a., bacon, for us Yanks), Irish soda bread, jam, juice, etc., in the fridge. Chris also helped us immensely to navigate the area, and gave us great suggestions on what to see and do during our time in Gort and County Galway. He even gave us a tour of Lough Cutra Castle, complete with historical references and fun facts. We had heard of Irish hospitality before we got to the Emerald Isle, but we were floored by how genuinely nice, accommodating and helpful Chris was during our stay. The estate is located in a prime spot for all the tourist sites you would want to see in area: the Aran Islands, Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, the Connemara,,... It would even be fairly easy to get to Limerick, as well as Cork and the Ring of Kerry. Gort itself is also a very cute, little Irish town with a few pubs and nice restaurants. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't recommend Cormorant Cottage highly enough. It's a real gem. For our family's vacation, it was ideal, and we could not have hoped for anything better. Our only regret is not being able to stay longer. But we're already planning our next trip back!

Our stay in Cormorant Cottage at Lough Cutra was a truly unique experience. It was mind blowing to wake up and make our morning coffee while looking out the kitchen window at a castle. Carrie greeted us on our first day at the cottage and was both very helpful and pleasant. She was also easy to get in touch with both before and during our stay. The cottage sits on the grounds of a working farm and has a rustic and antique feel about it. But the grounds are beautiful and the interior was very clean. There was enough hot water for four adults to shower and the modern appliances were an added convenience to our stay. Internet worked perfectly. We had no complaints. The cottage's location was also ideal for touring The Burren. Shannon airport is a mere half hour away. A jaunt to the Cliffs of Moher even took us less than an hour. However, simply touring the grounds was enjoyable and peaceful enough. One could simply stay here and go no further for their vacation. We were also fortunate enough to meet Susan, the castle's owner. She is a very kind and welcoming woman. Spending time with her added volumes to our stay. For anybody looking to tour The Burren or to simply have a quaint getaway in the countryside, I'd highly recommend staying at Cormorant Cottage. I would most certainly return one day.

I appreciated that the welcoming afforded us flexibility to arrive sooner than the posted arrival time to store our bags so we could begin exploring the area without the impediment of our bags. The space within the home was ample to be comfortable for our family. The resident host was patient and attentive about showing us the grounds and explaining the property rules. He also gifted us with fresh eggs from the estates ample hens! Delish! Our biggest delight was delivered through the later experience of shadowing Simon as he provided insight to his work and passion as the resident horse trainer and authentic love of Ireland. We were actually greeted by the castle's private residential dogs, and the owner's son! He encouraged us to walk through the grounds and enjoy the woods trail and lake side.

What an amazing place, Stayed here on a trip around the west coast with my wife and in-laws who are visiting from overseas and I have to say we were all blown away. Its tranquil, beautiful, stately, relaxed, comfy, friendly and many many other things. Staying here suited everyone perfectly, In the mornings before i was functioning properly, the visitors were able to wander the grounds, walk by the lake and take in the beauty of the irish countryside and the grandeur of the castle, while in the evenings I was able to install myself into a comfy wingback chair by the fire and read a book from the shelves with a glass or two of wine after a long days driving around the burren. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming and while the place is impressive and grand its also friendly and very down to earth. The house is very comfy and clean, I slept like a log every night and there wasn't a sniffle from the member of our group with a pretty bad dust allergy. The kitchen was equipped with all we needed and there was tea, coffee, butter, milk, juice, bread and rashers for us when we got there which was a very nice touch. We used the house for a base to visit the burren and it was ideal, within 10 minutes drive of the house you're in the typical burren landscape and its close to all the main tourist hotspots. So to conclude if you are reading this and thinking of staying I would wholeheartedly recommend the house, we loved it from the minute we drove through the impressive gateway and made our way down the driveway to be met by a flock? of more than one hundred ducks. My guests had such a good time here they will go home with great memories and I will definitely be visiting again.

Our family had a fantastic experience staying at this spacious, rustic, estate cottage. 3 comfortable bedrooms, 2.5 baths, full size washer and dryer, wood burning fireplace, and fresh foods (including farm fresh eggs) were some of the ammenities we appreciated. Outside, it was a unique place to explore including interacting with the animals.

Marta has a lovely piece of land deep in the Irish countryside. The cabins where you sleep are clean, warm and have all the mod cons you'd expect. The atmosphere is rustic and friendly. I'd recommend the cooked breakfast, Marta is an excellent chef. Marta was also really helped us plan our daytime activities, lending us maps and even telling us how to avoid the £6pp parking fee at the cliffs of mohair! The location is rural but perfect for seeing western Ireland and if you want a local place for food Galery Cafe in town (Gort) has some of the best pizza I've eaten and has a really interesting theme. Well worth a visit.

Un super moment au sein de cette magnifique maison, nous sommes enchantées d'avoir rencontré Marta, Nick et les enfants. Cette semaine géniale restera gravée dans notre mémoire comme sans aucun doute la meilleure de notre voyage ! A really lovely place, a fantastic experience, a lot of discoveries even if we speak a very bad english ! An amazing life experience ! De nuevo muchas gracias ! Espero volver otra vez, fue una semana increible que me hace descubrir un modo de vida muy bonito y un intercambio entre dos universos que se ha convertido en sueño !

We LOVED staying with Marta!! After a long day of sight seeing and arriving rather late, Marta greeted us at our car door with a warm smile and a flashlight in hand. After showing us our cottage (which was beautiful, clean, and warm!) she invited us in for a cup of tea and a chat. The way Marta and her family live is incredible. Her kids are so well behaved and very cute. Her main cottage is incredible and has a faint smell of essential oils. Marta is so kind and generous and we would definitely stay with her again.

We loved our stay at An Tionol cottage, Marta was very king and we had a warm welcome from her and her family. We slept in the cabins surrounded by trees, it's very confortable, warm and decorated with pretty good taste. I loved the An Tionol atmosphere and had a great time talking with Marta !

I had wonderful days at Marta's and Nick's lovely cottage. I got an amazing breakfast (both, the healthy and the Irish one), was invited to spend the evenings with them and felt like being part of the family. The location is perfect if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place. I loved the atmosphere there, it's quite hard to explain so I'd recommend to go there and see and feel yourself. Thanks a lot for everything! I hope I'll come back sometime soon! Lots of love, Diana

What a pleasant experience! Being a gardener himself, I knew my partner would absolutely love Marta and Nic's place and it was lovely to surprise him! The cottage was more than enough space for the two of us; it was clean and quiet and the grounds were lovely! Nic was a lovely host.

We had a great time at the cottage. The cabin themselves are pretty basic but they are private and you are a world away from anything so it is super quiet. Marta and the rest of the crew are super friendly and hospitable and will invite you for a late night wine and chat if they are not too exhausted from all the work they do during the day on this property! It is a fair drive out of Galway..maybe 40mins but if you are looking for something different, quite and communal, this is the place for you.

Beautiful, private, new and CLEAN cabins on a sweet country home in the Irish countryside. We had a little trouble finding the place, so we skipped dinner (since I was worried about finding it again in the dark) but Marta was awesome and left us dinner on the table after we settled in and if we didn't like that, she left us stuff to make dinner with! I was so grateful for that... we had been traveling all day and were tired from driving and getting lost! We made the mistake of coming in backwards... probably wouldn't have had the trouble if we had just followed the directions step by step. After we ate, we walked down the country roads and soaked up the silence and beautiful views... so nice! Our cabin was rustic, but very cozy and warm. In the morning, Marta made us a superb breakfast that we talked about for days! The "full Irish" breakfasts we had been having at other places wasn't what we normally eat (as Americans) so Marta's fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, freshly homebaked bread!!! was amazing and such a treat. We ate in as much as we could... delicious! Thanks Marta for sharing your home and life with us. We had a wonderful experience at An Tionol.... though for the life of me, I can't recall if we ever asked what that meant! If nothing else, it meant a wonderful, nourishing and relaxing stay. :)

Amanda was an amazing host! We loved that we get the whole cottage to ourselves and all you have to share is the kitchen and bathroom area during the day! She was very accommodating and always made sure everything was to our liking!

Lovely house. Very confortable. We would have wanted to stay longer.

Amanda's cottage is probably the cosiest AirBnB that I have stayed in. We arrived to a warm welcome from Amanda who made us tea and had a lovely fire set for us - perfect after a day of travelling. We spent the evening playing her old board games in front of the fire on her extremely comfortable sofa and had an amazing sleep in her (also extremely comfortable) bed which is up on the mezzanine level. One thing I really loved about the cottage is that all you can see/hear is the flicker/crackle of the fire as you drift off to sleep. Otherwise there is complete silence, which is so hard to find. In the morning we had a great chat with Amanda over a delicious breakfast of poached eggs and home-grown tomatoes. We also got to give treats to her lovely cats. Cannot recommend Amanda's place enough for a cosy, quiet getaway and as a base for exploring the west of Ireland. Hopefully we will be back soon!

Everything was fantastic. It was a small challenge to find since it is somewhat hidden but Amanda was so helpful even though we were arriving slightly behind schedule(if you are using GPS, there is no number but will stop you right at her place if you just type the road). She was a kind and generous host and the place was absolutely lovely wish we could stay longer. Thanks for everything hope to be back someday.

We had a very lovely stay at Amanda's place. The house was amazing! With a cosy fire place. Amanda made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend staying here! Also, there were cute cats.

Really great spot to relax and the fireplace is so cosy and comfy! Really enjoyed the atmosphere and nature. Breakfasts are all you desire and Amanda arranges it for you. Incl home produced eggs :) We felt very welcome and had a really relaxing time. Water bottles waited for us at arrival and even got a home made ginger drink from Amanda because of an upset stomach when we left. Thank you Amanda for caring so much!

I had a really lovley stay at Amandas. The room is fantastic in an old cottage and very cozy. Amanda is a wonderful host, who did everything to make my stay so lovley and comfortable. I would have liked to stay longer.

Amanda est une personne très avenante et généreuse! Très bon séjour!

Chambre très confortable et indépendante. Beaucoup de choses à faire à proximité. Hébergement calme. Accueil très sympathique et très chaleureux.

Sharon and her husband were very accommodating. Nice location and would recommend it for anyone who wants to visit the west of Ireland.

John was so gracious when we arrived late to our check in due to some delays! The Schoolhouse was perfectly charming! John and Bridg were so accommodating and provided an antique crib for our toddler. We loved lighting the fire on rainy days, playing scrabble and feeding the donkeys carrots in the courtyard! The nearby town of Gort was perfect for getting groceries and The Gallery's cafe was absolutely charming for dining or just pastries and coffee! We enjoyed driving to the Cliffs of Moher, Coole Park and other great landmarks all while staying at the most charming spot the entire week!

We absolutely loved the our stay at the School House. The house is well furnished and located in a beautiful part of Ireland. It was a perfect staging area for my daughter and her bridesmaids to get ready for her wedding in nearby Ennis. Thanks to John and Brid for sharing their beautiful home with us.

The house exceeded our expectations. It is very spacious and lovely decorated. It is equipped with everything you need. We had a great time there.

Unsere Ferienwoche in Johns Haus war toll. Es war geräumig, ruhig und 'charming'. Wir wurden sehr nett (mit selbstgebackenen Muffins) empfangen und auch Wegbeschreibungen gab es während der Woche per SMS. Die zwei Esel auf der Wiese nebenan trugen noch zum Fun-Factor bei.

Very quaint place in country. If you want to hang in Galway, it is a 40 min drive and after a pub crawl it can be a bit of a drive.... relaxing ...all the conveniences

Beautiful home in gorgeous setting. Warmly welcomed with baked goods and orientation. Loved the home - warm, welcoming and well resourced. Great area of the countryside to explore the cliffs, coastal fishing villages, Ellis and elsewhere.

If this home were for sale, we would buy it in a heartbeat! The house is even more beautiful in person. The slate, wood and hardwood features throughout were a sight to behold. We could easily see the great care that was taken to remodel this school house. One of the features most loved by our mother was the two resident donkeys in the backyard. She enjoyed feeding them carrots every morning and every evening when we returned. The house was so spacious for the five of us. We enjoyed having our own bedrooms and bathrooms (2 couples and 1 mama) and took advantage of the two large soaking tubs in two of the four bathrooms. The beds were comfortable, the rooms and linens were immaculately clean and there was plenty of hot water for all five of us. The upstairs bedroom with one double/queen bed was a loft and therefore open to the noise coming from the living room and dining room below. However, this didn't disturb our mother since we all went to bed around the same time. The kitchen was precious with a large variety of teacups and teapots on display. We enjoyed a light breakfast here every morning with the French press for coffee, electric kettle for tea, and toaster for bread. We bought some bread, Nutella, ham and cheese at the local grocery store in Gort to add to the carrot cake left for us in the fridge. The kitchen seemed well equipped for preparing lunch and dinner, but we took day trips that kept us from having other meals at the house. Most importantly, this house served as a great base for exploring other towns. Gort is lovely and we had a delicious lunch in town before checking in. However, we chose this location based on wanting to take day trips to destinations that were 1 - 2 hours away. On the first day, we went to Bunratty Castle and had dinner at Durty Nelly's. The next day, we drove to Galway, but stopped for lunch in Kinvarra on the way. Another day, we drove a little over 2 hours to go to Kylemore Abbey and then stopped in Clifden on the way back. On our last day, we drove 1 hour to the Cliffs of Moher and Doolin, and stopped in Ennis on the way home. It was such a relaxing and peaceful home and John was a great host. Although we weren't able to meet him in person, he arranged for his neighbor to greet and check us in. He was easy to communicate with and very patient in answering all of my questions in preparing for our visit. He sent very detailed directions that made it easy for us to find this house in the countryside. We couldn't have asked for a better location and house to stay in during our vacation. Next time we come to Ireland, we look forward to staying here again.

A beautiful house in a lovely location in the tiny hamlet of Tierneevin. John extended a warm welcome and was there to meet us when we arrived. You would certainly need a car to enjoy the benefits of the area but the driving around the roads is easy. There were lots of places to go within a short distance. There are good supermarkets nearby in Gort (3miles away) and in Kinvara. The house was warm and cosy. My son who is 10 loved the balcony bedroom on a mezzanine overlooking the living area, and enjoyed feeding the donkeys. The kitchen is modern and well-equipped and there is an out-house for laundry which we found useful. The wifi worked well although we were asked to limit our use and not to download films etc A big thank you John for a warm welcome to a beautiful part of the world.

Great place to stay and such a lovely host!Thank you!

It was a very nice stay at Josephine´s house. She is very friendly and we felt very comfortable there. The nature around the b&b is wonderful and it is a very good location to discover the beautiful burren landscape and the cliffs of moher. Thanks so much for your lovely kindness, your excellent breakfast (especially Franks birthday-croissant :-) ) and for all the helpful advices! Greetings, Eva & Fank

TERRIFIC!! Josephine was a very friendly, extremely helpful hostess who runs an immaculate B&B! It was our 1st Airb&b experience and we were totally pleased. Our room was decorated beautifully with views of monastic ruins right across the road! Josephine recommended dining at The Lady Gregory Hotel for dinner in Gort and it was delicious... all three dinners!! The full Irish breakfast she provided was delicious! She offered to pack us lunches for an outing as well as our farewell day. You won't be disappointed!! Eager to return!!

Josephine was a wonderful host, very welcoming and helpful for directions and suggestions. The room was nice and very clean, breakfast was delicious. I would definitely recommend, with the nice spot right in front of the ruins! Thanks Josephine!

We spend great 3 days in Josephine's B&B. She treated as with huge kindness, king-size full Irish breakfast, served in the room with memorable view, spotless clean cozy room with comfortable bed, great tips about what to see in which order and where to eat really fantastic dinner for reasonable price. We had a chance to chat both with her and her husband Pat and both were so friendly and open for questions. They adjusted breakfast hours to our schedule, even if it meant serving it outside of usual timetable. We experienced no issues with wifi both in living-room area and in our room. Overall our stay at Josephine's was very relaxing and I would recommend that experience to anyone.

Josephine was a delight &couldn't do enough for you. She was kind, caring & generous. Her assistance in directions to the area were excellent & we loved the country area & Kilmacduagh. Thank you so very much for a terrific 3days.

Josephine est une hôte très énergique. Nous avons été bien accueillis par elle et son maris. La maison se trouve proche de l'abbaye de Kilmacduagh dans un cadre exceptionnel. La chambre n'est pas très grande mais bien décorée. Cependant la propreté de la literie est à revoir. Le petit déjeuner est complet.

Modern, spit-and-polish home kept by a delightful lady named Josephine, and right across from a spectacular ruin. Breakfasts were out of this world and Josephine is extremely knowledgeable not just of her own area, but of much of Ireland and is a wonderful source of guidance about places to go, restaurants, etc. We loved the cozy fires in the evenings and the beautiful, newly decorated rooms. Wonderful place in the west for people who don't like big cities.
