Lovely House, Great Location
We had a wonderful two week stay in the White Thorn House (Four adults and one kid.) The house was spacious, very clean and had everything we needed. The games and books for kids were a great extra touch, really helped with the few times it rained. The house is totally quiet and peaceful, and in a beautiful location, close to Clifden and many local attractions. We didn't run out of things to do by any means. We also loved the neighbouring cows, and they tolerated us though we played a lot of football when they were trying to eat. We would definitely stay again! Thanks Martin!

Maison très sympa, très calme et idéalement placée. Très bon accueil
La maison est très calme sans être complètement isolée. Clifden n'est qu'à 5 mn en voiture. Idéal pour les enfants avec la salle de jeux et les principaux sites du Connemara à proximité (pas plus de 30mn en voiture). Martin nous a très bien accueilli.
