We had a wonderful family holiday at Garrat House. Gerard was a brilliant host, so helpful and accommodating with all manner of requests! This part of Ireland is stunning, the beaches are fabulous, as are the people, pubs and restaurants. The house was everything me needed for comfortable sleeps, family dinners, kids playing in the gorgeous garden. It will live in our memories forever and I hope we can return.

Rural idyll

Gerard’s house is perfectly located in a beautiful and rugged coastal part of Connemara. The house comfortably accommodated our extended family. The house was spotless, brilliantly located in a beautiful unspoilt area of exceptional natural beauty. The house is extremely well equipped and cared for. Thank you Gerard and family for sharing your piece of paradise. A brilliant week.

Beautiful Views and Friendly Host

The host was very friendly and responsive. It was like staying with family! The property was a short drive from all the Connemara activities/atractions we wanted to explore. And Tully Cross was welcoming and friendly.

Wonderful

Delightful property, charming host and some of the most beaautiful scenery you'll ever encounter. Some tips: 1. Get supplies en route - there is a shop 10km away in Lettergash but it is expensive. 2. Eat at Paddy Coyne's pub (5km - a lady called Patsy runs a taxi service and is charming) 3. There was more light rain than we anticipated - it was still warm (in late July) but a light jacket is advised Strongly recommended

Absolutely beautiful

The cottage was impeccably clean and cozy, and the location was fantastic. We loved going down to the beach and walking up in the backyard. The area in general is beautiful and extremely convenient to the cottage. We would love to come back.

Great Location

We had a great time at this property - it is exactly as described. Despite the weather we spent nearly every day on the amazing beach across the road from the property - and it was like having a private beach. We really had a wonderful time. The only point i would mention is it would have been nice if the grass on the front lawn had been mowed as it was quite overgrown and as a result (given the weather) quite wet all the time and so the kids couldnt really play on it.

Comfortable, well equipped house in wonderful location.

We are a family of 9 ranging from 2 years to nearly 70. There was ample space for us to relax and unwind in this comfortable house. The kids loved the garden and the trampoline. The kitchen was well equipped so we could bake bread and cakes. The living room was comfortable and we enjoyed lighting the open fire.

The house was clean and comfortable, providing the perfect setting or two families, along with dogs. It was close to the sea, which we went in most days and a perfect beach for waking the dogs.

Perfect Irish Home

Our extended family of 11 stayed at this fabulous house. It was exactly what it claimed to be and more. Spotlessly clean, spacious and very well equipped. We loved the location...the beach was steps away and so beautiful. Easy hikes along the beach or up behind the home for magnificent views. Close proximity to the lovely villages of Letterfrack and Clifden. We especially enjoyed Kylemore Abbey , pitch and putt and horse back riding in Cleggan. Gerald was a great host, very prompt replies to any inquiries and very kind to help with a vehicle issue. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. Highly recommended.
