The location is unbeatable, the views of both the sea and mountains canât be emphasised enough. We had great weather and were able to sit out each day and just enjoy the view and the peace and quiet. The hosts were so friendly and knowledgeable and told us lots of interesting information.
Our host greeted us upon arrival and did a thorough walk through with us to show us around and how to operate everything. The home heats with wood stoves and a boiler so she helped get everything started and warmed up. The bedrooms suited us perfectly - we had 4 adults and 5 kids age 10-15 and the set up worked great. The home is very private but easy to find.
The house was just as the description promised. The view was amazing! A little isolated but was perfect for relaxing after a day out exploring the area.
The home was just as described and the owners are absolutely delightful and helpful. The location is beautiful with easy access to so many points of interest. I canât recommend this home enough. Our only complaint was not being able to stay longer.
On the whole our 4 night stay was excellent. John and his wife were brilliant especially helping me with my disabled dad. The house is great and views breathtaking, Will be definitely coming back in the future !!!!! Noel
Fabulous position with amazing views of the bay and sunsets. Comfortable, well equipped, spacious. Absolutely perfect for a family reunion. Loved every minute of it.
We stayed in this nice house 6 nights. We were 8 adults and two kids under two years.
We felt so welcome and it was like being home.
The house is so cozy and well prepared!
Especially the kids liked the music toys.
The owner had everything beautifully decorated for my momâs 60 th birthday.
Thank you so much!
Hope we can come again!
Greetings Katharina
The house is well situated for exploring the area. You've got the mountains of Connemara, the attractive coastline with many beaches, the Aran Islands off the coast reachable by ferry, the city of Galway, and further afield many other places to visit. The hosts are very helpful and provide everything that's needed in the house. All one needs is fine weather which we mostly had. Highly recommended.
Photographs do not do the views from this property any justice, they were stunning. We were incredibly lucky with the weather which no doubt helped.
The house has everything you might need for a 2 week stay and the kitchen was well equipped.
The nearest restaurant was a brisk 15 minute walk which was perfect.
Our only issue was that a couple of the mattresses were not as comfortable as we would have liked but it didn't hamper our stay and would not stop me from recommending this house for a family get-a-way for anyone else.
The owners made us feel very welcome.
The house is gorgeous and the location is idyllic. Everything you could possibly need was supplied and the house was spotless.
John & Mairead are wonderful hosts and went over and beyond for us. We were welcomed when we arrived with a turf fire. They even drove to Galway to return a phone that was left behind. The beaches nearby are stunning. The home is an easy drive to so many of Connemara's attractions. Can highly recommend and looking forward to a return visit.
I had a wonderful stay in this cottage. The cottage has all you need like home from home.
It is located just a few metres from the sea with the Connemara mountains in the distance. Its idea for exploring the rugged coast, the mountains, the fjord and lochs. With many walks to enjoy.
There is a nearby pub that serves great food.
John and Mairead are super hosts.John keeps a distant but watchful eye and would be there to help should the need arise.
I would recommend for families or smaller group. I spent a month there and was sad to leave.
Thank you John it was a pleasure to have met you and to stay at your wonderful cottage.
In order to my 60. Birthday i asked my children if they want to make holiday with me on ireland. So we started last year to search a house for 5 adults and three childs up to 13 years.
We saw pictures from this cottage and we booked it.
For three families the house was perfect, the bathrooms are great, enough dishes, garden, water
The owner and his wife came to ask if all it good, we talked a while and he told us the history of the cottage.
It was a good week for all of us
We had the absolute pleasure of staying at the Glinsk Bay Holiday Rental in Connemara, Galway, and "perfect" doesn't even begin to describe it! The location is stunningly serene, with breathtaking views across the bay and the mountains as a picturesque backdrop. Every morning, we were greeted with the beauty of the landscape right outside the windows, reminding us we were in a truly magical place.
The holiday home itself was cozy, charming, and beautifully maintained, with thoughtful touches that made it feel like a home away from home. The houseâs traditional Connemara charm paired with all the modern comforts made our stay incredibly comfortable and relaxing. From the warm interior to the lovely garden and surrounding stone walls, every detail added to the experience.
The peacefulness of the bay and the surrounding countryside allowed us to disconnect from the usual hustle and bustle, while still having easy access to local amenities and the captivating sights of Connemara. This is truly a hidden gem, and we can't recommend it highly enough. If you're looking for a getaway where you can unwind and soak in Ireland's natural beauty, Glinsk Bay Holiday Rental is the place to be. We canât wait to come back!
Einfach schön. Ich spare mir alle Superlative. 2 Wochen Erholung. Eine geniale Gegend fĂŒr Wandern, Biken, Angeln (vom Boot). Angenehme Vermieter und ein absolut starkes Cottage. Echt zu empfehlen!Jana und Guido aus L

The house was is a superbly beautiful and tranquil location. The accommodation had everything we needed & the hosts were very responsive and friendly. The stoves were ready for fires on arrival, and we felt very at homeThank you!
