Thank you for your review. We have reviewed your comments and have invested in new tower extensions to tidy the electric connections. However I feel, because you did not stay even ONE night, you have missed an opportunity to experience the peace and tranquility of the area and enjoy the Irish culture. The cottage is advertised as secluded, sits one 2 acres of land, surrounded by trees. A place to get away from the hustle and bustle of today’s world. Built by hand over 200 years ago, by hard working people, when there was no modern equipment. Through recent years, we have worked hard to keep its original character, whilst making modern conveniences available for our guests. (ie electric storage heaters, immersion heater for hot water, Electric cooker, Microwave, washing machine, smart television, and internet, electric coffee machine etc.) Furniture is in keeping with the character of the cottage, however we plan to purchase a new settee, in the near future. If one is seeking an Irish country experience, you will enjoy our cottage.

Delighted you enjoyed your stay. However, when you say "off the beaten path", it depends on what you expect from your holiday! Cong is just 9 miles from the cottage. Here you will find Ashford Castle, The Royal Abbey, Statue of John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, both stars from 'The Quite Man", which was filmed in a pub in Cong and this pub is still functional. There are walking tours here, Nature and Wildlife tours, Historical and Heritage tours. Plus Boat tours and horseback riding. Galway City is 20 miles away with it's large shopping area, popular Salthill beach and amusement area. Croagh Patrick, nicknamed the Reek, 42 miles away. This is a 764 metres mountain and an important site of pilgrimage in County Mayo. Aillwee Caves in Co. Clare is 43 miles away. Cliffs of Moor, Co Clare is 55miles away. Connemara National Park, Mweelin, Letterfrack, Co. Galway, is 50 miles away. I have but listed a few, the list is inexhaustible. Evelyn, the caretaker is always available with more suggestions.
