Loved the Irish porridge and fresh fruit salad for breakfast. Warm and welcoming hostess.

Pamela United States of America

We were going to Inis More so the location was very convenient. Friendly hosts, quiet and excellent breakfast.

Cathy Canada

Great place to stay. Well away from Galway. Beautiful location. Room great.

Thomas United States of America

The room was very spacious, with a nice view, very cozy and comfortable. Both room and bathroom were very tidy and clean. There is a nice and cozy living room with a fireplace that is just lovely! Breakfast was S P E C T A C U L A R! Seriously, the most delicious Irish breakfast we ever had, many compliments to the owner, she is a great chef :) Both owners were very friendly and lovely. Really a great experience, we were sad to leave!

Rachel South Africa

Awesome breakfast, onwers very friendly, super comfortable bed

Patricia Ireland

Cute little cottage with thatched roof. Room was comfy and cozy. The owner was delightful and enhanced our stay with her knowledge and recommendations. We would definitely stay there again.

George United States of America

Great location to explore Aran Islands. Rooms are very clean and light. Moira is a lovely host who couldn't do enough to make our 3 night stay comfortable and relaxing. Breakfasts were outstanding. We left behind a kindle and she went out of her way to post it on to one of our next stays. The local pub in Spiddal is fantastic for traditional Irish music. A little driving tip - avoid Galway traffic at peak hour - horrendous.

Grant Australia

The hosts were very hospitable and kind. The breakfast was delicious. The location within 15 minutes of the Rossaveal Ferry was superb.
