We enjoyed a great stay at Grianan. The house is very large with many cosy places to rest and/or enjoy the astonishing views of the Connemara. The Atlantic ocean is located at a 5-minute walk

Fabulous place, exactly as described! The house is furnished very stylishly and very light and airy. Equipped with really everything you need and the whole place was absolutely spotless. The house is only a short drive or short walk away from a shop and a nice pub with great food. We really enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend this place!

We had a fantastic stay at Grianán! The house is spacious, spotless, and very well equipped, with three huge bedrooms (all en-suite), multiple living areas, and a modern kitchen. The upstairs room overlooking the bay was a real standout — peaceful and full of light. The location is excellent: just a short walk to a safe beach with a sauna, and minutes from a charming village with a great pub, café, and grocery store. The kitchen had everything we needed, and thoughtful extras like beach towels and chairs made outings easy. Communication with the host was outstanding — always responsive and helpful. It was also a perfect base for exploring Connemara, with easy drives to stunning white-sand beaches like Gurteen and great nearby places to enjoy the region’s amazing seafood. Highly recommended — we would absolutely stay again!
