You have to see it to appreciate it!
You have to see it to appreciate it! I can describe it in my words but I would not do it justice. It is simply beautiful! Waterfalls, mountains, beaches, so many places to walk and cycle. Lots of nice places to eat and drink. The weather does not matter at all - summer/winter - it is still beautiful. Just go there and see for yourself.

Ideal location, pubs and shops.
Ideal location, pubs and shops. Gift shop expensive in both Leenane and Clifden. Ideally located for a short cruise on Killary bay, too short , could have gone further out in the bay. Conveniently located for Clifden and Connemara National park, and Kylemore Abbey and excellent Gardens. We travelled via Westport and Louise burg and via Delphi onto Leenane, very scenic.
The Leenane Hotel is ideal for staying and the food is excellent. Ample free parking.
We've stayed previously and will again, hard to find fault with the area or the hotel.

Really exquisite place.
Really exquisite place. The hotel is in a small and beautiful town and the view is amazing, If you want a break from city monotony this is THE place. Even the road to Leenaun is beautiful (Wild Atlantic).
If you like authentic Irish food, you will definately like the food here.

Great visit.
Great visit. Everyone should stop in the Wool and Sheep Center. Great shopping. Seamus is a master weaver and gave us a fantastic lesson on wool and weaving. Don’t miss seeing Seamus, he is fun and full of knowledge.
Take the Kildare Fjord Boat Tour and see beautiful scenery from the boat. Very informative talk and a relaxing 90 minutes on the water. Great food available on the boat. Amazing trip.
The main interest is the location of the Convent: absolutely stunning setting, at the heart of Connemara’s wild nature.
The room: clean, tidy, simple and comfortable.
The guesthouse: Sean is a great host - very careful his guests have all they need, and very nice. The hotel is a former convent, with a beautiful dining room (great breakfast!) that used to be the chapel.
Three/Four little restaurants nearby and two grocery shops.
Bus station nearby. Very accessible.
Had a really lovely few days in Connemara
I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone
When we arrived the place was lovely and cosy
The owner had the heating on for us and even left a basket of log's for the stove..
The cottage was spotless
It was like home away from home
Leenaun is only a five minute drive away and Westport and clifden 30 minutes drive
So all and all a great experience
Will definitely be back again
Hopefully stay longer next Time
