Curlews Rest - Gateway to the Aran Islands

Eine sehr gemütliche Wohnung mit Möglichkeiten, in einem Mini-Wintergarten oder im Garten zu sitzen. Die Vermieterin begrüßte uns mit Leckereien, wirklich außergewöhnlich.

Die Lage des Hauses am Seitenarm des Meeres war sehr schön. Es gab hausgemachte Marmelade, Brot und frische Erdbeeren als Begrüßung im Kühlschrank. Es gab zudem das Angebot,, unsere Wäsche waschen zu lassen.

Todo fue fantástico, la ubicación frente a unas marismas y al fondo recortadas en el horizonte las Islas de Aran. La casa cuenta con 2 dormitorios y 2 wc, uno con bañera y otro con placa de ducha. La cocina tiene de todo. El salón con 2 sofás La cama muy cómoda .Leslie siempre dispuesta para lo que necesites. Vive en la otra mitad de la casa, comunicada por una puerta en la cocina( siempre cerrada con llave). Está muy bien situada para recorrer Connemara, Galway y a lado del puerto de dónde salen los ferries a las islas de Aran.

Las fotos no hacen justicia a la coqueta casa de Leslie.

L'essentiel est une hôte très accueillante discrète mais attentionnée

Very nice and friendly owner, the apartment was clean, tidy and we had anything we needed there

Lesley est une hôte très agréable, et disponible. Accueil très chaleureux. Gîte confortable et bien équipé. Au calme avec une vue magnifique.. On recommande👍

Un accueil inoubliable, Leslie est adorable

Lesley som vært var eminent👍

Appartement propre et pratique, à mi-chemin entre les falaises de Moher et Clifden. Tout y était, y compris café, thé, lait et beurre pour le petit déjeuner.

The property is lovely and right on the shore of the bay (but there is no direct access to the water). We woke one morning to a rainbow that started in the Aran Islands (visible in the distance) and landed right in Lesley’s back garden. It is so peaceful, beautiful and remote. We were minutes from the ferry to the islands and an easy, scenic drive to Connemara. Lesley was so kind and helpful and the cottage was immaculately clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment/appliances, and Lesley welcomed us with eggs, milk, brown bread, Irish butter, coffee, and some goodies for our daughter. We enjoyed the cozy gas fireplace on the cooler nights.

We didn’t have a single complaint.

Die Lage und der Blick waren traumhaft.

La gentillesse de notre hôte, l'emplacement au fin fond du Connemara , toutes les intentions de la propriétaire (pain œuf beurre saucisses lait) pour des petits déjeuners Irlandais.

Delighted to find 2 bathrooms (one ensuite). Wasn't aware there were 2. The kitchen had everything we needed. Both double beds were comfortable with lovely fresh cotton bedding. We also enjoyed the games available to play. The lounge was comfortable. The views spectacular, and there is outside seating if you are lucky enough to get nice weather (we were). The tap water is very nice to drink and we enjoyed some complimentary sparkling water too. The Hostess was lovely and very obliging. Thank you very much for the lovely dinner you provided. I visited with my son. We came on the 424 bus (you can ask the driver to let you off at the end of the road, you don't need to walk to Rossaveel Crossroads, but only 15-20 mins walk if you wait for the official stop). So no real need for a car if the reason for your visit is the Aran islands. We arrived on the Saturday, visited the Innishmore on the Sunday and went back to Galway on the Monday. We had a lovely weekend here and I wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you x

Nothing to dislike. Would say to anyone coming by bus to bring enough groceries for at least the first night as the shop is a bit further than it looks on Google map.

Set on the rugged stunning heart of Connemara a warm colourful garden awaits.Sea 100 meters away tranquil.

La ubicación privilegiada, la amabilidad de la dueña, la gran equipación de la casa , la verdad es que volvería sin dudarlo

No hubo nada que no me gustara

Lesley war sehr lieb und zuvorkommend. Wir haben ein Frühstück von ihr bekommen, welches soooo lecker war 🤩. Das Haus liegt direkt am Strand und wir konnten uns im Garten frei bewegen. Es war so ruhig und so entspannend, einfach toll!

Ubytování je samostatná polovina domku. V druhé bydlí velmi příjemná a ochotná majitelka, které nám pomohla se vším, co jsme potřebovali a dala nám i další tipy na náš výlet a dobrou restauraci. V kuchyni byl připravený čaj i káva, rovněž základní koření. Co bylo zcela výjimečné, paní majitelka nám upekla opravdu velmi chutný chléb a jablečný koláč. Byla určitě nejlepším ubytovatelem za naše 2 týdny v Irsku.

Zařízení je sice starší, ale vytváří opravdu domácí venkovskou atmosféru.

Un accueil merveilleux et affectionné. Lesley est adorable et pleine d’humour.

La gentillesse de Lesley, ses petites attentions pour notre 20ème anniversaire de mariage ! Cadre superbe, les pieds dans l’eau et quelle vue ! Le calme de cet endroit est apaisant. Je recommande vivement.

It was clean, quiet and the hostess was very pleasant and helpful. we loved the chocolate cake.

A TV would have been welcomed.

L'emplacement est parfait pour nous amoureux de la nature. L'hôte très sympathique

Logement un peu vieillissant mais agréable

Semplicemente tutto perfetto Lesley estremamente disponibile

Posizione lontana da Galway ma ideale per chi cerca tranquillità

Beautiful location and view close to the ferry port for Aran Islands, friendly informative host, comfortable accommodation, and lovely weather during our stay.

No complaints!

Nice and quiet. Bread, butter, jam and apple pie with whipped topping nice touch. Great place to walk with tranquility.

Further from city than I realized. My error not the write-up.

Lesley was amazing and helpful, her Irish breakfast was incredible. The house is comfortable and has everything you would need for a stay. The views are great. All around a wonderful place to stay!

Place was super clean and spacious. Host was fantastic and communication was really great too. The views are really nice and the neighborhood was quiet and very close to the ferry to the Aran Islands.

Nothing that the host could control.

Leslie is a fabulous host and this property is very clean, comfortable, restful and met our needs perfectly. We booked it so that we would have easy access to the Aran Island ferries, which we did. But more than that, it is just a very restful and lovely spot. We would definitely stay here again.

Lesley was super helpful and gave us lots of useful information. She was very friendly and made us feel so welcome. The accommodation provided everything we needed, as well as lots of thoughtful extras like a bottle of delicious wine and homemade jam. The beds were very comfortable, the towels were soft and the kitchen well-equipped. The view was stunning, and the area was just beautiful. We enjoyed sitting outside in the sunshine and watching the birds on the water. We wish we could have stayed longer and were sad to leave - we highly recommend this property for a very special holiday.

Really can't think of anything at all

Live the rustic vibes of this place! It’s clean, very comfortable and homey, lots of books for boom lovers!! Has a cute little sun room the common area has a fire place. Host left us a delicious apple pie too!

The place is in a beautiful location and it’s easy to find, but we got there very late and there are no lights on the street. It wasn’t an issue for me but someone that’s not use to the tight streets of ireland might have a bit of a struggle driving to it at night. Day driving will not be an issue.

Very comfortable accommodation. Our hostess Lesley was so welcoming giving useful tips of where to go. She went out of her way providing Lemsip for our colds,a beautiful loaf of Irish brown bread and equally delicious home made blackberry jam. A lovely space to unwind!

no complaints

Lovely self contained apartment with everything you needed. Lesley was very generous making sure that we had the basics, tea, coffee, milk and home made bread and a lovely treat a lovely apple pie and cream - unexpected surprise but very welcome.

Couldn’t get telly to work on Netflix however this was not a negative as it was good to have quality time to relax

House / location was exceptional. Even high winds and rain during our stay did not dampen our spirits. Host, Lesley, met us and gave us a lovely welcome, and some gifts of bread and apple pie, and homemade jam. Good walking opportunities on the immediate area - stunning environment.

Hourly bus into Galway - not a problem - part of the holiday!

The breakfast was excellent. Lesley cooked us sausage & potato cakes. She met us at our car to show us the apartment, gave us a warm welcome, & gave us the keys. The apartment is very well appointed with two bathrooms & two bedrooms. The kitchen has everything you need to cook your own meals. The house overlooks a backyard with a sitting area that is warm in the sun. The living room has an inset electric fireplace with a comfortable couch & plenty of books. The apartment is warm, attractive, & cozy. My son & I were happy to be there.

Our stay was very enjoyable. The house is located in a rural setting that can be quite tricky to navigate to. Use the GPS coordinates to find the location & call Lesley if you need help.

- The area is close to lots of amenities. There are great walkways and beautiful beaches. - The views are spectacular from the house's location and there is something particularly fresh about the air. - Lesley herself is so pleasant to communicate with, everything was so relaxed and easy going. We got offered to stay an extra night at the end of our trip and got a chance to get away on a date without our children which wouldn't have been possible without Leslie's offer to babysit. - There are other attractions such as the Connemara national park and the city is not far away too. - This was the perfect getaway to mark the end of our Summer, Lesley made us feel right at home and she had everything facilitated to us and our families needs.

Nothing I can think of.

Very nice comfy house, just perfect for four with the two bathrooms. Well equipped kitchen, beatiful surroundings and just 5 mins from the ferry to the Aran islands. Would recommend!

Shame about the missing bath tub plug, as it was cold would have been great to enjoy a hot bath before bed, but the showers work beautifully, so not an issue.

Fantastic house in a fantastic location. The accommodation had everything we could ask for and more. Would recommend to anyone who wants peace and quiet with comfort and marvelous scenery

Lovely peaceful place to stay, beautiful view

The apartment is in a beautiful landscape. It is extremely peaceful and relaxing there. We had a wonderful time and did not want to leave! The apartment is well equipped, it feels like a real home and not just a holiday apartment. Good beds, the water pressure in the showers was good, too. The host is very nice. Shops and nice beaches are in driving distance, just a few minutes away. You can go for nice walks from the apartment. I can recommend this to everyone who wants to relax in beautiful surroundings, without other tourists. Great!

Everything was great!

Hostess Lesley was great went the extra mile to make me feel comfortable and help with local issues. The pet animals were friendly too. The view to the shore was spectacular. My highest recommendation.

We loved the quiet area around the house. Host Lesley was very friendly and easy going. Very relaxed atmosphere.

No wardrobe in main bedroom, but we weren’t staying long so it was ok for us.

Lesley was most accommodating. The house is comfortable clean and has everything you need. It is situated just minutes from Rossaveal Harbour. There are plenty of books and games. We got taxi to carraroe for dinner and drinks. A lovely stay overall and even had a sea swim before we left on a nearby sheltered sandy beach.

I booked this 6 week long work related stay for a colleague so do not have first hand experience of the property but Lesley made the booking process and various changes effortless, she could not have been more helpful.
