Perfect Location
The location of this property was ideal from quick access to Galway to the very good restaurants and pubs within a 10 min walk. The property is on the smaller size, perfect for my wife and I, but would also be ok with adding 2 children. Yvonne was fantastic! We would definitely recommend!

Fantastic stay in Spiddal
We were staying before our son's wedding and I was baking the wedding cake in the cottage. The oven in the cottage is superb and just what I needed. The cottage itself was great with all the amenities we needed and the host was incredibly kind. Thank you for a fantastic week.

Spiddal Cottage
Spent a week in Spiddal Cottage. Great location, only a short walk to the village with loads of shops/pubs. Very comfortable cottage and perfect for a family of 4 and a pet. Patsy was there to greet us and answer any questions we had, lovely lady and very helpful. We will definitely be back

So Lovely!
This little cottage was lovely, so cozy. Patsy was equally a delight. She had everything I needed for a peat fire, which I loved every evening! The cottage is exceptionally clean and very comfortable. It was the perfect home base after my adventures in Connamara!

Cute and comfortable
The cottage is well maintained and very comfortable. There is also a washer and dryer which we used. We loved staying in Spiddel which is a cute little village and is centrally located. It is not far from the Aran Islands ferry and a great jumping off point for a drive around the Connemara region.

Quaint and compact
The cottage is lovely. More compact than the pictures show. The bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed. Would be nice to have a shower caddy so you can have easier access to your soaps and shampoo. Easy walk to the village and nice options for food. Patsy did a great job of settling us in.

The cottage is great. Advertised as having wifi, but it does not work consistently.
The cottage is located close enough to Spiddal to walk and view the area. It is a lovely place to stay. Lots of room and has a wonderful set up of the necessary amenities. The owner is wonderful and helpful. If you need wifi then it can be inconvenient. It is sporadic at best.

Charming cottage
Spiddal Cottage was delightful! Both rooms were spacious, the living room was lovely, the kitchen small but with all the necessary appliances. We didn't ever cook there, so I can't say anything about the pots, pans, spices, etc. The mattresses were quite firm. Bring your own entertainment if you want to watch something. The wifi worked great and we had access to the washing machine, which was very nice. Patsy was accommodating and super nice! The area was stunning, and a great place for a ferry to the Aran Islands or a drive along the Wild Atlantic Way. Highly recommend.

Quaint village
Compact cottage, clean and comfortable although a little dated and Patsy our host was very welcoming and helpful. You would need a car if visiting Galway as 30 mins away but well worth it as the journey very picturesque and Galway a fabulous city. Spiddal is a lovely village and the craft village well worth a visit.

Lovely Stay at Spiddal Cottage
Our Host, Patsy, was very welcoming on arrival and on hand should we have needed anything during our stay. Everything one could want in a 'home from home' was provided for and Spiddal Cottage was cosy and perfect for three adults. From the house, it was a ten minute walk to the village and fifteen to the beach and small pier. We were very happy with our few days stay at Spiddal Cottage and would have no issue recommending it.

A lovely comfortable house with spacious bedrooms.
The Spiddal cottage was in a very central location in Spiddal. The rooms were spacious and airy. It was very relaxing and comfortable in the house. I would highly recommend this house as an ideal base to discover the beauty of connemara and beyond. The host Patsy was a lovely lady and could be more helpful.

A little gem
We had a 5 day stay at Spiddal Cottage. We were welcomed by our lovely host and made to feel at home from the outset; she was always on hand but never intrusive. The cottage was spotless and well equipped and ideally placed to explore the beauty of Connemara. Highly recommended - particularly for dog owners!

Nice holiday home
A very nice holiday house. Comfortable, clean, well equipped and in perfect size for the family with two kids. In very good location to explore Connemara. Short walk to the town centre and the ocean site. Quiet at night, very private with a very friendly host.
