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 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.

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!

Good location to explore around Galway
House has all you need. Clean and tidy. Slightly dated but thats part of its charm. However the beds are not very comfy. A bit tired now bit lumpy. We got over it by laying on top of the quilts. Brilliant location for exploring Galway and Connemara. Pasty is lovely and friendly. Loved our stay.

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.

The cottage was a home from home, and was just a few minutes walk away from the sea front at Spiddal

Comfy and perfect location
Everything we needed for a week away. Two adults and a small dog fitted very comfortably. Ideal location, 10 minute walk to centre of Spiddal and sandy beaches. All the lovely beauty spots within an easy drive. Patsy (owner) was delightful. Would love to return.
