Location is everything

We were looking for a quiet place to unplug and unwind by the sea. Curlews was exactly that!It is a cozy, unassuming cottage with sea views from every window. Nothing fancy - just unbelievable beauty and privacy. We will be regulars I suspect!

Seaview

The electric was not on and we were told to ask the neighbor since the owner did not live in the country. It was quite confusing and frustrating. We never had internet and had to choose between heating the living areas or the bedrooms. Cannot honestly recommend this cottage to American travelers who are not accustomed to paying electric prior to staying

Beautiful location on the water. Fireplace for turf fires. Basic accommodations but basic is all you need in such a fantastic locality. The folks in Carna were accommodating. Be careful while driving here - but you probably already know that.

Great Location

Excellent location by the coast and view of the Connemara mountains. The only negative being for pet owners, to beware of the dogs at the adjoining property, if they are out of their cage they could attack your pet, as happened to ours.

Best view in Connemara

Our family stayed at this lovely home for a few nights during our 2 week holiday to Ireland. The cottage is quaint with it's traditional decor and lovely homey feel. Check in was a breeze and communication with the owner was great. The real clincher and the reason we will most certainly be back is the gardens around the property and the VIEW. Incredible. I wish we'd had more time to enjoy it! Thank you for hosting us!

Beautiful location!!

We enjoyed our time here and the location and view truly cannot be beat! To address some items mentioned in others reviews: When we got there there was a musty smell, as others have mentioned, but it did get better over our time there. The heat was off and it was extremely cold on our arrival, and I feel like living there and keeping it warmed up helped the situation. There is a small fishing operation off shore (3 rings) but in our opinion it doesn’t detract at all from the ambiance. It is really beautiful and we actually enjoyed seeing the activity. You do have to pay as you go for electric online. Not ideal, but also not a problem. We found it easy to figure out and spent €50 for our four day stay. We did laundry and were fairly liberal with the heat so it could have been less. All in all we enjoyed with our time here and got to know the neighbors who were super nice. It was a special experience and we will look back on it fondly. I addressed those few items because I remember reading about them in the reviews before we booked and appreciated when others spoke to those things impartially.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay, house was very clean and had all the amenities needed for our week long stay. There was an unexpected cost for electricity, which I was not aware of before booking. Place would also benefit from dehumidifier due to location close to water.

Lovely location

The location on the waters edge is enchanting and it's a quaint, relaxed house. Jeanne, the owner, was easy to communicate with, and was very understanding of a change we had to make in our schedule. Also, the people who are the "next door" neighbors are very kind and helpful. And there is a nice restaurant a short drive away.

A gem of a property

A wonderful property! The house is lovely and exactly as described and pictured. It has everything one could possibly need. Jeanne is a super host - she responds rapidly, is absolutely dependable, very friendly and helpful. Spectacular area with very friendly people. Great property to relax, spend time on the small beach (to which one has direct access from the garden) and as a base from which to explore the surrounding area. The garden is also a treat! We love this property! Thank you Jeanne!

Unique stay

In all of my years of travel, this ranks as the most unique stay. We stayed 2 weeks, the beauty of the area is stunning- 5-star view from the living room and just about every room in the house has stunning views with large picture windows. Surrounded by well-maintained beautiful landscaping. It's also very private, as you have your own separate gate to enter the property. The back entrance has a nook that came in very handy, as it can get really windy and it is a perfect place to hang out and block the wind. The living room is the highlight of the property with the most stunning views. There is a TV there and a fireplace with plenty of chairs to sit around in and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. it's worth noting that there is a VCR but it is not working. I would suggest bringing a device to stream Netflix, etc though you do have a handful of local channels. The kitchen does have a dishwasher and just about anything you can. think of that you might need to cook meals, including microwave, stove and burner top. It's packed with cookware, glasses,etc. The bathroom was adequate and has a jet tub (we never used it) and a stand-up shower. all 3 bedrooms had acceptable beds in them, though we only used 2 of the 3 bedrooms, the beds were pretty comfortable. We found the food options to be outstanding in the area and I highly recommend, (the best fish and chips we've had in all of Europe too, ordering any seafood you desire from) O' Flaherty's Connemara Seafood Chowder. His restaurant was pick up only when we were there but it is only about 15 minutes from the house. He also offers pick up or delivery of fresh lobster, scallops, prawns, a variety of fish, and much more caught locally for an insanely fair price, large lobster tails were only 12 Euros for example. About 7 minutes from the house is the Glynsk House. This quickly turned into our favorite place to dine in during our stay. We did find that the place was not as clean as we expected it but that's really my only complaint. The place is set up to pay for your own electricity and we spend about $120 Euros for the 2 weeks, hardly running the heater at all but doing laundry and hang drying the clothes. I would suggest some dehumidifiers if moisture bothers you, as it can get damp inside due to being so close to the water. Definitely would recommend and loved the area, plenty to do around you within 30-60 minute drive. So much more to say but out of characters to use :)

Fantastic location with stunning views in a lovely part of Connemara.

Curlews has a fantastic location with amazing views of sea and the mountains. Wonderful beaches nearby. The property is cozy and we really enjoyed our stay. The house, while very homely,could do with a little upgrading. For example, the initial impression on arrival - when you open the door to the hall - you see a dirty carpet and an untidy hall. This could be an amazing place with a little bit of modernization ( rusty dish rack in kitchen, new carpet in twin bedroom as the current one is very stained, new floor covering in hall etc )Also, we found a sock under a rug in the big bedroom, Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would be happy to stay again.. Hopefully you will attend to these few details.

Seashell Treasures

We LOVED our stay in this home. It was exactly what we imagined and more. We loved the stunning views....sunrise to sunset. Mary was amazing (thank you for the clothes pins). This is a home for those looking to immerse themselves in the simple Irish lifestyle. The cozy fires in the evenings were perfect. Our girls spent an entire day on the beach searching for seashells, bike riding and taking awesome pictures.
