Bru Na Mara

In Love with Connemara! Co. Kilkenny, Ireland
Review Submitted: August 4, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
What a wonderful place! Cottage was lovely, clean, well equiped and charming. Owner was helpful and very kind. Safe for children. Property is walled so children can't get down to the shore very easy. Lovely place for walking. Beautiful sandy beach nearby. Highly recommended restaurant/bar/craft place within 5mins drive (Glynsk House). Bridget's Garden's (near Oughterard) is also a great place to visit if you have children. Rural, need a car.

This cottage is charming as is the owner

lenwar montreal, Canada
Review Submitted: September 2, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2007
We were 2 couples and spent a happy couple of days at this special place at the western end of Ireland.
The cottage is charming but updated, clean and very comfortable with all the conveniences we could ask for.
A quiet spot on the coast with easy access to lots of sites in beautiful Conamara.

Riona is a great hostess who went out of her way to insure we enjoyed our stay and benefited from all that the area had to offer.. Her restaurant suggestions were excellent... we had the best seafood chowder ever at one of them.

Although this is a self catering place, we arrived to find that Riona had laid in some basic breakfast food and snacks and a bottle of wine to greet us.

We would highly recommend this cottage to anybody looking for a quiet getaway in a special corner of Ireland.

A wonderful place with a fantastic panorama - the house is simply perfect, clean and very well equiped - direct access to the cost, for walks on beautiful sandy beach - need a car. Owner is very accomodating and provide good guidance for visiting around. We really enjoyed our stay in the Anna cottage

This is the second time for us in Anna and not the last one. It's very quiet, comfortable and clean. We had a very nice and warm welcome with Riona. She was always accomodating and give us a lot of informations about her country. We can have lovely walks on beaches.

Anna delight

donned Kildare
Review Submitted: July 7, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
I stayed in Anna cottage for a week in April. The cottage was lovely and homely with good size bedrooms, lovely sitting areas, big kitchen and a great shower. The view was amazing, looking out onto the sea. The location was completely isolated, the only traffic were animals. This is ideal if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy the outdoors. Beautiful walks are literally just outside the door and if you want to go to little villages many are only a bit away in a car. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Anna cottage.
