Connemara Home with 12 Pins & Atlantic Views | Sleeps 8, 4 bedrooms all En Suite



Your listing has strong material: the views, the stone fireplace, and the Stanley range are your selling points. The current version reads more like an inventory than an invitation, so I’ve restructured it to lead with the views, group the details by what guests care about, and put the practical terms in a clear place.

Title options

Wake up to the Twelve Pins, and end the day on the deck watching the light fade over Ballinakill Bay.
This spacious stone-faced home sits in the heart of Connemara, with sweeping views of the Twelve Pins mountain range, Ballinakill Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a short drive to Clifden, Cleggan and Letterfrack, and close to Connemara National Park and Kylemore Abbey, so the best of the region is on your doorstep.

Sleeps 8 in four en suite bedrooms

Master bedroom: double bed, en suite, opens directly onto the deck
Bedroom 2: double bed, en suite
Bedroom 3: double bed, en suite
Bedroom 4: two single beds, en suite
There is also a separate WC in the entrance hall, so there are no queues, even with a full house.

The views and outdoor space
The large rear deck is made for long breakfasts, evening drinks and watching the weather roll across the mountains.

Living spaces
A big entrance hall leads to a large sitting room with a stone-faced fireplace, open to the dining room, which is ideal for group meals and cosy evenings. Off the kitchen is a small snug, perfect for children to play or for a quiet read. There’s a TV, a stereo and a good shelf of books, from fiction to local history.

The kitchen
Modern meets traditional, with a Stanley range and a central island with a five-hob cooker, oven and grill. It’s fully equipped, including a microwave and dishwasher. The utility room off the kitchen has a fridge, small freezer, washing machine and dryer, which is handy for families and longer stays.

We had a great time staying at this property. It is in the heart of Connemara with easy access to Kylemore Abbey, Connemara NP, Clifden, Galway and Westport. The islands are very close as well. As you should expect Irish weather changes on a dime from rain to sun and back in a moments notice. The owners live on the property and are very friendly and helpful.

Lovely, well-designed and well-equipped house, charming hosts, beautiful area. Lots of information on its flora, fauna and history among the well-lined bookshelves. Car needed, good shopping facilities in nearby Letterfrack and Clifden. Fresh fish for sale in Letterfrack on Thursday and Friday mornings. All six of us (one Irish, two Germans, three French) were delighted with our stay.

Very relaxing summer holiday

We had a two weeks stay with two families in July and enjoyed this beautiful place. The house was clean, well equipped and it was enough space for 8 adult persons. Although the weather at Irelands Atlantic coast is always a little unsteady, we had lots of oppoprtunities for sightseeing, trekking and enjoying the beautiful nature.

Wonderful House, Fantastic Area

The house is perfect for large families or groups, cosy, full of games and books and with stunning views. Lots to do from walking to swimming and horseriding. Somewhat negative aspect, but unavoidable in Connemara: you need the car atball times.

Comment from the Yorkies

We booked Crocnaraw Cottage not having visited or know much about the area other than it was situated within one of the most picturesque areas of Ireland - the Connemara National Park. We have to say that the cottage was outstanding with the views being just as illustrated and took our breath away - the shrubs have now established themselves . The cottage was adequately furnished and we were fortunate to enjoy relaxing on the patio - the views are amazing and Aedan was very helpful on our arrival and throughout - Janet having even made us some sourdough bread which was enjoyed by us all. We have enjoyed a number of self-catering cottages over the years and we can say that Crocnaraw Cottage is superbly situated for visiting this area of such beauty - we would certainly recommend it to anyone reading this review and are sure you would not be disappointed.

a house that just missed being great

this house ticked nearly all the boxes.large bedrooms all ensuite. Great kitchen,well stocked.an open fire with 1st supply of fuel free.just a few things that could be improved.water heating was by imersion heater & was charged extra.we were told there would be enough for our needs if we turned it on for an hour at night & an hour in the morning. This was not the case & the water always ran cold.if we had used as much as we needed the cost would have been excessive. Also the sofas & chairs in the sitting room were uncomfortable.no support & very low to the ground.all furniture needs modernizing. The area was very scenic & Cleggan harbour is worth a visit. Fresh fish & lobster can be had when the boats come in.the kids loved the national parks playground.

Wir durften mit 7 Personen 1 Woche im dem Ferienhaus in der wunderschönen Connemara verbringen. Große Pluspunkte sind das zu jedem Schlafzimmer zugehörige Bad, der großzügige Wohn- und Essbereich sowie dir Küche mir extra großem Herd, wo kochen auch mit mehreren Personen Spaß macht. Es war alles sauber und in gutem Zustand. Die Küchenausstattung ist für die Anzahl der Personen mehr als ausreichend. Für Bücherfreunde gibt es zudem eine riesige Bibliothek. Wir konnten vom Haus aus viele Ausflüge mit relativ kurzer Anfahrt machen, z.B. Omey Island und Kylemore Abbey (je ca. 15 min), Cleggan für eine Fahrt nach Inishbofin Island, Clifden und Connemara Nationalpark Centre (je ca. 10 min), Killary Fjord (30 min) und Westport (ca. 1 Std). Zum Einkaufen ist Clifden mit 4 Supermärkten bestens geeignet.Für die Fahrt zum Ferienhaus und für Ausflüge ist ein Auto nötig, da es, wie fast überall in Irland keine Fußwege gibt und man nur an den viel befahrenen, ohnehin engen Straßen ohne Ausweichmöglichkeiten laufen könnte.Wir haben uns auf jeden Fall sehr wohl gefühlt und sowohl das Ferienhaus als auch die traumhafte Gegend bei für irische Verhältnisse unverschämt gutem Wetter sehr genossen und können es uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!

Das Haus ist super geräumig und entspricht genau der Beschreibung. Bei Ankunft war alles pikobello sauber und auch eine Grundausstattung mit Reinigungs- und Spülmitteln sowie Gewürzen war vorhanden. Aedan ist ein sehr angenehmer Gastgeber, der uns mit guten Tips versorgt hat. Kleine Probleme wurden schnell behoben, z.B. ein neuer Trockner beschafft, nachdem sich der alte als nicht reparierbar erwiesen hatte. Die Lage ist super, aber ohne Auto ist man aufgeschmissen. Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit und unsere 2 Wochen sehr genossen.

Excellent house and host

We were met by Aedan on arrival and he showed us round. The house is by far the best we have stayed in in Ireland. The photos do not do it justice. 4 bedrooms, all en suite with the master being very big with patio doors to the terrace. Picnic table and patio chairs made for some relaxing afternoons/evenings. We had use of the barbecue and given the good weather this was great. Large kitchen with loads of dishes, pots and pans with gas cooker and electric ovens. The kids had great fun in the large garden. Short drive to Clifden with plenty of shops and restaurants. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing break!

In the Wild West

This was our first visit to Ireland and we loved it! Amazing scenery, lovely people, some great food and drink and none of the crowds that you would find in similarly beautiful parts of the UK. The house was extremely comfortable and well equipped with plenty to do in the local area. Aedan was around to offer help and advice when needed. There is plenty of information in the house and loads to read - a veritable library! We will be back one day.

A beautiful property nestled within paradise

I have stayed in lots of rental properties over the years and I have never had a bad experience in any Home Away holiday property. This was no exception, you could not honestly fault anything if you tried. Things that make or break rental properties in my opinion are generally the little things. Linen, do not under estimate the power of good linen. A well equipped kitchen, even if you only cook occasionally you need a good kitchen, it has an amazing kitchen. The relaxing areas just felt like home, enough seating in dining areas, the garden and a general homely feel. This place ticked all the boxes and more, I and our party all noted how easy it was to live here. Then to top it all off, it is located in arguably one of the most beautiful, unspoilt parts of the world I have had the pleasure of visiting. Mountains, lakes, glacial valleys, huge open spaces where at times you can see no evidence of human existence as far as the eye can see. We were sorry to leave, and would love to return someday. Thank you for making our holiday in Ireland one to remember.

5 of us shared this house for a cycling walking holiday. it is located about 5 miles from Clifden so a car is required but there is no end of beautiful locations to explore.
