    The shower tile walls need a good cleaning, the only unsatisfactory thing about the Cottage.

    Roomy for two, thoughtful design, lovely view of the garden, walking distance into town. We did meet our host, Michael, upon arrival. He was friendly & helpful in getting us situated.

    Faic- nothing.

    The Potter’s Cottage is absolutely charming – full of traditional character and equipped with every modern amenity you could need. The attention to detail throughout is great, from the cosy décor to the spotless presentation. Loved the spacious bedroom and wonderfully comfortable bed, ensuring a great night’s sleep after a day exploring. Kind and welcoming hosts: Rita and Michael who clearly take great pride in their lovely cottage. The location is ideal too – just a short walk into Clifden town and an ideal base for discovering the beauty of Connemara. Highly recommended.

    It would benefit from reliable WiFi. Purely for the reason its a shame not to be guaranteed to watch Netflix in a very cosy environment.

    The large rooms. The wood burning stove. Great location- 12 minute walk to town centre. along pavements.

    Very well equipped, comfortable and good space for two. Friendly, welcoming hosts who provided good recommendations for local walks and restaurants. The cottage is well located for waking to Clifden and surrounding walks, and exploring further afield around the Connemara region.

    The only thing that was a bit of a let down was the internet access or lack of. Now the host did not mention the internet as an option in the posting and did explain in their welcome pack that it was a bit hit and miss. Me and my partner had planned to come back early and watch a movie but the tv/laptop required internet to play anything so this was the only minor thing. I also planned on doing a little work in the morning from my laptop. (again I believe I should have read the posting more in detail so not the hosts fault). Maybe a wifi extender to the cottage as there is wifi available just not strong enough.

    The cottage was cute and quaint and was exactly what we were looking for. It was a 10-15 min walk into the centre of clifden (my partner is short so closer to the 15 lol) and the walk was beautiful. I loved that the host left out some wood and fire lighters to make a fire if we wanted to and the amenities were all there. Access was very easy and there was a place to park in the garden for our car.
