My family and I rented this amazing cottage for two weeks while exploring the Wild Atlantic West of Ireland! Michael, the owner, was readily available to answer any questions and provided excellent recommendations on places to eat and potential sights to see. My family and I loved this property! The cottage was very clean, tidy and comfortable for 6 guests. The property grounds and views were incredible! We had the best vacation and trip to Ireland.
If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is the place. We absolutely loved the house sitting on a hill overlooking stone walls, some cows , the mountains and the ocean views. Every detail was taken into consideration in what people need for relaxation. The beds were all firm and super comfortable, the linens all provided and a wonderful selection of coffees. It's a little distance to stores and restaurants, so I think it is best that you stock up so you can stay home and enjoy the environment. It was perfect for us. Thanks to Mike.
This lovely and spacious home served as a base for my family's exploration of Ireland's beautiful West Country in August 2026. It had every comfort and convenience one could ask for without lapsing into excess, and was impeccable clean and well ordered. The poetry-inspiring blend of the sea and distant hills visible through almost every window made this one of the most memorable holiday destinations ever. Perhaps this is distilled best in my daughter's comment that--after visiting Inishmore, the Cliffs of Moher, the heart of the Maumturk Mountains, a cruise on stunning Lough Corrib and other spectacular places--she saw no place that she would have preferred as a base to the wonderful Rosmuc house. Mike was a kind and responsive host, and I would be most pleased to rent the house again.
We had a wonderful stay in Connemara. This is one of the best house I have ever stayed in, furnished and equiped to the highest standards. The landscape is amazing, location is very quiet, perfect if you like nature. Mike was very helpful to help us prepare for the trip and gave us advice on things to visit in the area. Very remote but easy access to all the key sites.
This cottage was stunning, with views of the mountains and bay. Mike had plenty of information for things to do around the area, and actually sent it to us ahead of time so we could plan out what we wanted to do. We were thrilled with our stay, and plan on staying here again in the future. Thank you!
What a beautiful property! The house and grounds were immaculate and the room was spacious enough for our family to spread out. The host could not have been friendlier and more helpful. This was a very quiet, very relaxing week for our family!
The property is as good or better than the photos in the listing. Well maintained and nicely decorated and equipped. The location is just beautiful! A top-notch place to spend time and to use as a base in exploring Connemara. Mike was very helpful and provided loads of great information about the area.
Beautifully clean, cosy and welcoming. Furniture and fittings are of the best quality and very well cared for. Very good communication from Mike, the owner, who goes the extra mile to make sure you really enjoy your stay and have everything you need. The views from every window are stunning and the location very peaceful. We look forward to returning.
Fantastic Connemara getaway experience in modern, beautifully furnished cottage. The cottage had everything we needed and really did feel luxurious in terms of the furniture and all the amenities provided in the house as part of the stay. It really felt like you were staying in your good friend's country cottage and not just 'some rental'. Mike our host was extremely communicative and always at pains to ensure our stay was perfect. The location of the cottage is close to the end of Rosmuc peninsula, 'far from the madding crowds'. The scenery and view from the cottage is truly stunning and we never tired of the ever-changing view out the window of the sea, mountains, sky. It provided a great base from which to explore Connemara. Highly recommend.
Fantastic cottage in Rosmuc. It’s about 5 km off the main road in a little hamlet with stunning views on all sides - sea and hills. The house is immaculately clean, with plenty of space for a family of 5, with 3 grown-up children. The kitchen has everything you will need. The living room has views on three sides, so no matter the weather you can be immersed in the landscape. The solid fuel stove keeps the space toasty warm. On good days the garden has seats to sit outside. Just be aware that you’re advised not to drink the water from the taps, so bring bottled water. Enjoy!!
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024

Please note that the water to the cold tap in the kitchen is direct from the mains supply but
bottled water is also provided.
From the very first contact with Mike he was incredibly helpful ranging from giving us advice on the ferry and directions through to supermarkets and places to visit. He genuinely cared that we had a good time, and we absolutely did!
The cottage is beyond words! Exactly as described, but no words can adequately convey the views, the scenery and the comfort of the cottage. Yes, it is remote but that is the point. Still plenty of opportunity to visit tourist attractions and shop for supplies, but the peace and quiet can't fail to relax you from the moment you arrive.
We stayed at the end of March so the log / peat fire was delightfully cosy. Beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything you need.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return at some point.
Sehr komfortabel eingerichtetes Ferienhaus mit tollem Blick aus dem Wohnzimmer auf eine Bucht und die dahinter liegenden Berge. Sehr ruhig, sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Sogar der Kaffee in Form von einer großen Auswahl an Nespresso war für die ganze Zeit vorhanden sowie ausreichend Holz und Torf für den Kamin. Sogar zwei Fahrräder konnten wir nutzen. Zudem viele Informationen und Karten zu Zielen in der Umgebung. Mehr geht eigentlich nicht! Was man wissen muss: Bis zur Hauptstraße N59 fährt man gut 20min, so dass die Wege zu Zielen im County Donegal schon länger sein können. Guter Ausgangspunkt für die Ziele im Süden wie die Aran-Islands, die ab Rossaveel schnell zu erreichen sind. Wir würden immer gerne wieder kommen. Vielen Dank an Mike für alles
Our first trip to Ireland and experience of Vrbo; all in all im delighted! Mike was very helpful all the way through the process and the house was a perfect holiday destination. Surrounded by sea and mountain views, we were fortunate to have super weather and beautiful sunsets every evening. The house was clean and very spacious. We made good use of the beach towels, provided with house, to explore different beaches in the area. The Nespresso coffee machine is a lovely touch as are the two bicycles in the garage; great for exploring the Ros Muc with its wild flowers, donkeys and Connemara ponies! We're already planning our return trip!
Location was spectacular and the house was absolutely as described. Lovely remote location with peace and quiet far from the madding crowds of big cities. A perfect antidote for city life where (sadly) most of us have to work. Mike was a fantastics host and was super helpful in all communications. Very sad to leave.
Alles perfekt, von der Kommunikation über die Sauberkeit bis zur Ausstattung inklusive diversen Extras (Kaminfeuer, Kaffee usw.) Nicht zu vergessen die fantastische Aussicht und die herrliche Ruhe. Vielen Dank Michael für alles!
Maison absolument parfaite: confortable, conviviale, avec une magnifique vue sur la mer. Nous avons adoré le lieu, idéal pour les randonneurs et les amoureux de la mer. Tranquillité garantie.
