Guests that stayed at this property said

The property generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests noting it was well cleaned upon arrival. However, there were isolated mentions of mouse droppings and bugs, which slightly affected the score.

The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, natural beauty, and proximity to beaches and walking trails. It's remote yet accessible, offering a perfect retreat with scenic views.

Guests find the cottage comfortable, with a cosy living area and comfortable beds. The presence of wildlife and minor issues with heating instructions have led to a slightly reduced score.

The property is well-furnished and decorated, with a good supply of kitchenware. However, guests noted the absence of a washing machine and microwave, and some had difficulties with heating and appliances.

While guests appreciate the helpfulness of the owners and the provision of a portable Wi-Fi device, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score is set to null.

About this property

Lettermore 4.1 miles. Perched in the rural village of Trabane near Lettermore, County Galway, is this wonderful two-bedroom, detached bungalow, Tí Tom Nárta. Enjoying a peaceful location just a short stroll from the beach, with an abundance of leisurely walks and cycling opportunities on your doorstep, and with stunning views out towards the Atlantic Ocean, Tí Tom Nárta is a fabulous choice for couples or a family of four seeking a rural retreat. Ample off-road parking for several cars greets you on arrival, before unloading your bags with ease and soaking up your breath-taking surroundings. Look forward to cooking up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen/diner, featuring a handy dishwasher and American-style fridge/freezer, ready to savour a delicious meal at the dining table for eight. After dinner, why not soak up the last of the day’s rays in the conservatory where you can still appreciate the views from the comfort of a plush sofa? Gather your loved ones in the sitting room, where you can select a much-loved film on the TV as the evening’s entertainment, as the woodburning stove crackles nearby. After a day of exploring, freshen up in the well-appointed shower room, before choosing from two beautifully-presented bedrooms to catch your rest in, a double with its own en-suite bathroom, and a twin, both with plenty of storage for your belongings. Right on your doorstep, you will find Coral Strand Beach, where you can enjoy leisurely walks with your loved ones as you breathe in the fresh sea air. For your amenities, take a scenic drive along the causeway Lettermore, where you can stock up on essentials at the convenience store, or sample the local ales at Tigh Plunkett. A little further brings you to the unique, nine-hole Connemara Isles Golf Club for incredible, panoramic views whilst you play a game or two, just six miles away from Tí Tom Nárta. For a taste of city life, head to Galway, where you can enjoy a day on the golden sands of Grattan Beach, meet the local marine life at the aquarium, delve into history at the Galway Museum, wander through The Latin Quarter, marvel at the remarkable Galway Cathedral, or sample the delights of the many Irish pubs and restaurants speckled throughout, including The Sliding Rock, Monroe’s Tavern and Cookes Thatch Bar. For a memorable day trip, why not hop aboard a ferry to the Aran Island? Further afield, you will find the coastal town of Clifden, home to the ruins of Clifden Castle, the John D’Arcy Monument, the Clifen Monastery Walled Garden and The Station House Museum. After making the most of the town, you can sample delicious Asian cuisine at Jasmine Garden, pub classics at Ravi’s Bar and Restaurant or fresh seafood from Mitchell’s. Your next Irish escape awaits at Tí Tom Nárta.

Lettermore is a charming settlement on a small island off the coast of County Galway, Ireland, and is part of the Wild Atlantic Way, which is only accessible via a narrow causeway. An Irish bar, an old-fashioned butcher's shop, and a tiny convenience store are all located in the village, making it a great place for visitors to get a taste of Ireland's rich history. An ideal starting point for a wide choice of fascinating activities, this stunning setting is unsurpassed in terms of its natural beauty and attractiveness. Sailing, fishing, and scuba diving are just a few of the activities available at the area's many coves, beaches, and inlets.

While Galway is an excellent base from which to explore Connemara National Park, the Aran Islands, which are right off the coast in Galway Bay, are a must-see for anybody visiting this region of Ireland.

Visitors of every age or interest can enjoy it year-round.

    Also it stated the house was on the right when in fact it was on the left. Additionally the name of the house on the gate or wall would be useful as we asked two local people, neither of them knew which house it was. Other than this our stay was wonderful, very comfortable and stunning views. We would recommend the house fully.

    5 minute walk to lovely little beach. Huge American style fridge/freezer so only shop once for the week. Comfortable beds. Clean. Loads of space for parking. Excellent broadband wi-fi. Super quiet. Would definitely return.

    It’s in a great location, has loads of tv channels and is very spacious and modern in the kitchen and living areas but the bathrooms are very small and we didn’t feel the cottage had much personality or any welcoming feel. Outside, there’s no name to identify the property and the grounds are rough and full of weeds and litter. Inside, even though we arrived after the cleaners had been, the heating was off despite the recent sub zero temperatures and the place was stone cold. There was no welcome note or milk, no fuel for the wood burner or any information about the oil heating, waste disposal, any local maps, suggestions or visitors book. Even the wall switch for the cooker is unmarked. A lack of soft furnishings and décor means the cottage looks a little bare and is a little noisy. The bed was comfortable and the bedding and towels clean and of reasonable quality. Whilst the floors, furniture and bathrooms were clean, the oven trays were in such a state they needed to be lined with foil and all the cooking pans we used needed to be thoroughly cleaned first. It’s a functional, spacious cottage in a great location with fantastic views and I imagine it would be a much better stay in summer than winter but if we were in this area again, we’d be staying elsewhere.
