A quaint cottage in a wooded garden. The hosts Colleen and Raymond were great, engaging, and inviting. It’s a cottage with cottage ambiance… kitchen was dated but served us well. All in all a nice stay.

Adorable cottage in beautiful area with terrific hosts
This cottage is everything I hoped it would be when we rented it and even more. It is a fairly short ride down to Galway and a great place to base yourself if you also want to go up to Connemara. The yard/garden is really beautiful and gives the illusion of nearly complete privacy (and would be great for kids to explore) and the kitchen is very functional. I particularly enjoyed the wood fired stove in the living room - very cozy.
But what stood out most about this rental (I've rented many a property) was how wonderful our hosts were. They brought us potatoes from their garden, fresh eggs, and even baked us a loaf of bread! They really went above and beyond and I would go back to this rental in a heartbeat.
Strongly recommend!

Charming and private cottage
What a wonderful place to stay, full of charm and character with all the modern amenities! Colleen was a wonderful host greeting us on the first day with fresh eggs and homemade marmalade (yum!) She was available when we needed her but we were able to enjoy the seclusion otherwise. My son very much enjoyed the games and toys that were in the cottage and exploring the generous yard. Location was perfect within walking distance from the lake and a 2 minute drive from town. Fantastic vacation!

Super séjour à Dun Na Ron, cottage cosy et bien situé pour les visites du nord ouest de l'Irlande
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour au cottage Dun Na Ron. Merci pour l'accueil chaleureux de Colleen et Raymond. Le cottage est très fonctionnel et cosy, très bien entretenu, le tout au calme dans un écrin de verdure. Idéal pour visiter le Connemara, Galway et ses alentours !!! Je recommande vivement.
