About this property

Connemara Stone Barn on Wild Atlantic Way, walk to beach, near Aran Island Ferry

Suitable for families or for two sets of friends or for a romantic getaway, Teach na mBo is in a beautiful part of the Connemara National Park and close to the start of the Connemara Loop. The Wild Atlantic Way runs down our small lane to our local pier half a mile from the cottage, where we have one of the best views out to the Aran Islands and the cliffs of Moher.

Our large, spacious, traditional, 2 bedroom cottage, situated on our small working farm, combines the traditional cosiness of a thick-walled stone cottage with all the requirements of modern home living - including free fast fibre WiFi. PLEASE NOTE THIS PROPERTY IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 5. Perfect for autumn/winter staycation or working from home change of scene.

The main living area is open-plan with wooden floors, beams and a turf-burning stove which gives off the tantalising smell of Connemara. Turf (peat) is provided. Patio doors open out onto the small paved walkway to the house and give views of the shared garden and out towards fields bounded by the traditional stone walls found in this part of Ireland.

The main living space also includes a dining table seating four. Our fully equipped, contemporary kitchen area has granite worktops and the integrated appliances you would expect from a home of this quality, including hob, fan- oven, microwave, and dishwasher. A comfortable sofa, chairs and lovely soft furnishings complete the look. A small flat-screen TV is provided with satellite freeview channels, Irish channels and a dvd/blueray player.

The wooden floor is carried through to Bedroom 1, which has a traditional cast-iron framed, Kingsize bed with hotel quality mattress, topper and all bedding. There are plenty of built-in wardrobes and a hotel-style tiled, large en-suite with bath and large, separate shower.

Bedroom 2 is accessed via a flight of steep stone steps down to a twin room - again with high quality soft furnishings and bedding. This room also has a hotel-style, tiled en-suite shower room.

There is also a US-style laundry cupboard housing a new washing machine and separate condenser dryer.

Outside there is a dedicated parking space and extra parking in the shared farm yard - access to a garden, a small paved area, a BBQ and outside eating space with table and chairs.

We have aimed to provide a home-from-home Staycation and you are welcome to help yourself to anything else you might need from our garage which contains a shared table tennis table. If available you can borrow stuff for the beach - chairs, portable BBQ, fishing nets for rock-pooling - just help yourself.

Great Connemara Cottage
We really enjoyed everything about our stay at the Cow’s House. It has just about everything you’d need while on your trip. It’s very quiet in the area with just beautiful surroundings. It was super easy to find, and a great starting location to venture out into the west of Ireland.

Amazing cottage and hosts!
Terrific cottage away from the bustle of Galway, but close enough to do tours or shop. Janet and Michael are amazing hosts, friendly and knowledgeable (thank you both for your hospitality! Give Riley a pet for me, loved playing fetch with the little sticks she brought me) Close access to a local grocery (short walk), and a very “local” pub a bit further.

We love Teach na Mbo
Perfect cottage for our five day stay. Everything we needed was available. It was spacious and comfortable. Janet, The host was lovely. We also loved the location. Short walk to Galway Bay and short drive to the ferry to get to Inis Mor. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed anywhere so peaceful and quiet. I highly recommend this cottage if Western Ireland is your destination.

Lovely getaway
Perfect spot for a quiet getaway. The property was beautifully designed and very well kept. It had great amnesties that allowed us to dine in and enjoy the wood burning stove. A short walk to the beach was also a bonus. We would definitely stay again

Terrific
It was lovely, start to finish. The little house is perfectly appointed — very comfortable, spotlessly clean, and elegantly designed. Highlights include the (unmissable!) walk to the pier and the world’s sweetest dog, who came to the door a few times to ask us to play. The nearby craft center has beautiful work from local artists as well as a really good cafe. We explored Inis Mor and the Burton while we were here. I’d recommend staying here to anyone.

A Quiet and Elegant Homebase Only 30 Minutes from Galway
My husband and I spent several days in this lovely converted cowshed with our adult daughter in late October. Although our host had to travel to Japan the day of our arrival she had somehow found time to make us a welcoming cake, and left us in the very capable care of Bernie who checked in on us daily to make sure that we had everything we needed. And we did! There was easy driving access to restaurants and the city of Galway, but also lovely walks outside the door. We would highly recommend this beautiful cottage for a short or long-term stay.

Lovely home on the wild Atlantic
We enjoyed the home and the surrounds. Had a lovely walk to the beach one morning and the land surrounding the home is gorgeous. This house was comfortable and clean. It is remote so be prepared to make most of your food. I wish the host was more clear with cleaning expectations so we could have matched those expectations better.

Home Sweet Cow House
Our stay was everything we could have wanted. We felt immediately at home in the cottage. The location made it easy for us to take day trips to Galway and Kylemore Abbey, but simply driving through the glorious Connemara countryside was the highlight of our days.

We had such a lovely time! It was so nice to be in the country. Just a short walk to the water. The peace and quite was just what we waltzed. But still close enough to see everything we wanted to see. I especially LOVED their dog! Owners were so nice. We truly truly loved our stay!
