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.

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.

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.

Perfect location but cottage does need a refurbishment / update

Great location for beach and little town. Property satisfactorily equipped . Not spotlessly clean overall and rather tired looking but did not let this spoil our stay. Patsy the owner / housekeeper was pleasant and helpful.

Excellent location and cosy little house. We loved our stay here.

We stayed for a week and were made to feel very welcome. The location was ideal and very close to the local village, where we enjoyed drinks and live music in local bars. During the day, we made the short journey into Galway for shopping and also boarded the boat to Inis Mor, which is also nearby. Patsy made sure we were stocked up with peat for the fire and treated us very well. The only problem is that our stay had to end. If we can get the time off work again, we intend to revisit this cottage.

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

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.

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!

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.
