Oystercatcher Cottage

Oystercatcher is a fantastic location for a family or group of friends. We were lucky to have great weather this week and the views were amazing.

It is well equipped and everything works!

Would highly recommend it.

What an amazing place! I didn't want to leave.

An amazing location and beautiful cottage. I can’t say enough good things about this very special place!

The cottage was super clean & was really impressed with the self check in service along with brilliant communication with the hosts.
Loved the outdoor decking area overlooking the views and really felt the house had a homely feel which had everything you could need.
Only thing to note was the stairs upstairs is quite steep which may not be suitable for elderly etc.

A beautiful example of a traditional style cottage, perfectly restored, featuring wonderful traditional features and furniture and wonderfully colourful decor and art. Panoramic views of the changing sea and landscape are perfectly framed by each window and door. We spent 4 fabulous nights lulled to sleep by the lapping waves and the sounds of nature in the wonderfully cosy beds. We woke refreshed and ready to explore the nearby golden beaches, swim in turquoise lagoons and climb the peaks of the Twelve Bens. Nights were spent in one of the cosiest sitting rooms we've ever encountered in front of a toasty log fire. All necessary mod cons supplied (constant hot water was a bonus and a good powerful shower!) and kept a family of four and two large dogs more than happy! A real gem of a place! Private and tranquil. Hosts are highly responsive and available. Highly recommended and we'll be back (if it's ever available again! )

We had a fantastic few days at Oystercatcher Cottage - it's a really beautiful cottage and was very clean & comfortable. Very close to amazing Lettergesh beach. We'll definitely be back!

Beautiful views, near to amazing beaches etc

Really charming original cottage, cosy sitting room with wood burner. Amazing views of Mweelrea (the highest mountain in Connaught) and out over the islands of achill, inisturk and Clare island. Really special location.

what a beautiful cottage in the most amazing location.. everything we needed was there... great fire to keep us cosy at night and the most spectacular decking and views... caroline was so helpful to deal with!!! stairs are not for the fainthearted... but we managed and we are in late 50s...will definitely return!!!

The views are absolutely amazing, it is such a pleasure, every window you look out of. Cute cottage, outdoor seating options are good. The place was exactly as I expected from the listing. Beautiful beaches nearby. A long weekend was not enough!

This cottage and it's surrounds are absolutely stunning. Spent three nights here and was hard to leave it behind. Best airbnb experience we've had, cannot recommend highly enough. Hosts were great, efficient and helpful when needed but otherwise leave you to enjoy their unbelievable place!

Amazing location. Space is cosy with great interior but also all mod cons needed. Really good communication 🙂

This cottage meets and exceeds all expectations. The location is absolutely stunning, the decking is one of the best locations to watch a sunset along the WAW. The cottage had all necessary amenities required to provide for yourself and enjoy your stay. Would highly recommend to anyone

Our stay in this cottage was simply amazing. The cottage itself would rival any postcard and the location could not be better. The facilities have everything you could ever need along with excellent wifi. It is ideal for anyone looking for a quiet break away or if looking to use it as a base for your Connemara trip. We cannot wait to come back again!

What a special place! We had an incredible week at the cottage which had the most breathtaking views that blew us away every morning. The Renvyle peninsula is such a hidden gem in Co. Galway, white sandy beaches with turquoise waters mean you don’t have to go far to find paradise. The cottage is the perfect place to come back to with a log fire to cosy in front of or a huge deck to watch the sun go down. A dream getaway!

Oystercatcher Cottage is truly a hidden gem. Privately tucked away from the main road and all neighbours, the tranquility and scenery makes this a stunning location. Caroline & Kevin were always quick to respond and assist with any queries we had during our stay. A fantastic part of the country, we would love to return.

As noted in the cottage description, the views are spectacular. Really an incredibly beautiful setting for a cottage. The house itself was very charming and had everything you could need in terms of comfort. I was there during the pandemic and the pubs in Tully Cross were closed but there are lovely beaches nearby, and stellar drives in every direction. Once the pubs are open, they would be a short walk into the village. Caroline and Kevin were very responsive and they included many thoughtful touches to make our stay more enjoyable. The beds were very comfortable. I would definitely stay again!

A lovely house in an amazing setting!

A great getaway in Connemara, lovely views and perfect place to relax for a few days

What an incredible cottage - the location gets 11/10! The views really are spectacular and we even saw a pod of dolphins swimming by one morning. The cottage itself is charming and was very well appointed with everything we needed for our 10 day stay. Caroline was super helpful, easy to communicate with and responsive throughout. Highly recommend this unique, beautiful spot!

Stunning views.! Cottage is like a photo from a postcard. Everything you need in it, and beautifully decorated. Great location to appreciate the west coast.!

A wonderful cottage in an incredible location. Very homely with fantastic views makes for a great staycation spot whether the weather is good or bad.

Caroline & Kevin's cottage is spectacular with amazing sea views from the kitchen and decking area. Had a great weekend exploring all that Connemara has to offer. Only a short drive from the National Park and Glassiluan Beach. Great food at Maol Reidh in Tullycross. The cottage is cosy, clean and equipped with everything you need. Watching the waves from bed was fabulous. Thank you.

This cottage is an amazing space with views to match. It’s equipped with everything you could possibly want during your stay. To wake up to this view every day is such a treat. There’s loads of things to do and see in the surrounding area. It’s the perfect little place for a relaxing get away. I’ll definitely be back! I love it!

What an amazing place, gorgeous cottage in the most beautiful location, practically in the sea, didnt want to leave!! Caroline provided everything you could want and was a great host. Cant wait to return!

excellent property for exploring conemara ..and delightfully quirky

Gorgeous cottage with spectacular views

Fantastic place. Great beach for swimming just 5 mins drive away. Cottage location as stunning as pictures suggest. Interior very well thought out. Cosy and warm. Highly recommend.

Does exactly as advertised. Rustic cottage that simply offers one of the best views around. Cottage was very clean and local beaches are literally a 5 min drive away! Definitely recommend this place.

Spent three wonderful nights at Caroline & Kevin's cottage, didn't want to leave! Check in was very straightforward, the place had everything we needed and more. Location was amazing - that coastline is just stunning. Feels like your have your own little pocket of paradise, but the nearest towns are only a few minutes drive away. And the cottage itself is just so charming. Thank you for having us, already thinking when we can come back! 🙂

A gorgeous seaside cottage with stunning views and a great location for so much that Connemara has to offer. A cosy and comfortable cottage, we had a lovely time.

We (four adults) enjoyed a weeks stay in this spectacularly located cottage by the sea. The accommodation is as described and Caroline responds fully and speedily to all requests. The cottage retains much of its original charm with modern comfort. The stove's glow and warmth were enjoyed on a few cool July evenings while the deck area was perfect for dining and just relaxing, enjoying the sea views on finer days. Its location, while tucked away is within an easy car journey to unspoilt local beaches and the nearby towns of Letterfrack and Clifden. We would certainly return for another stay.

Beautiful cottage with every amenity provided. Stunning location with amazing panoramic views and possibly the best view from a kitchen window you’ll ever find. The house has everything you could ever want and is charming and quaint in a stunning location.
Ideally located with a short drive to Glasilaun beach, one of the most beautiful locations in Ireland. This is a great base to explore the area which has so much to offer.

Superb place, very-well kitted out. Unparalleled views, comfortable, clean. Good kitchen equipment for cooking, nice bedding, warm house. All the things we needed for a relaxing holiday. Caroline was clear and quick with her communications, but we hardly needed to be in touch as all was in place and clearly laid out for us on arrival. We will be back asap!!

The beautiful view, closeness to the sea and that it was quite near to the beach made this a very pleasant short stay. The cottage is cosy and comfortable. We located the property easily & check in was straightforward (though slightly late at 4pm). Although no where was open there was a lot of helpful tips about local amenities, day trips and eateries. Shower was powerful, beds comfortable and everything we needed to cook was available and easy to locate. We also really appreciated that we could bring our little dog.

Had a lovely time, spectacular views. Very well organised and pretty cottage. Would definitely stay again.

We couldnt recommend Caroline and Kevin's place enough. The house was beautiful and the views were stunning. The house was really well equipped and the bed was very comfortable. The shower was really nice and the house was well heated. We found the location excellent for exploring Connemara and it is really close to several fabulous beaches. There are couple of small supermarkets within a 10 minute drive and larger stores are about 20mins drive away. Check in and out was really easy as was communication with the hosts, though we didnt need to ask for anything as the property was so well set up. I didnt expect there to be wifi but there was. We would definitely like to come back to stay again.

Lovely cottage, amazing views. Beautiful beaches vet close by. Was nice to explore part of Connemara we hadn’t been to before.
Cottage was very clean and warm and had everything we needed.

Where to even begin!
This cottage is a very special place.
Pictures can’t even do it justice. So peaceful and so breathtaking. Surrounded by the most incredible beaches and scenery in all of Ireland. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a break and we can’t wait to return.

Beautiful little cottage, in an idyllic location. Our hosts couldn't have done anymore in terms of looking after us .. the best touch being the lit fire on arrival,much appreciated after a long journey
The house is perfectly clean and presented. We're already looking forward to going back

This is just a great place to stay. To come home to after a day of hiking or to stay in and look out at the ocean when the weather is bad - it's just gorgeous. Listening to the sea at night, and waking up to it is wonderful.

The cottage has everything you need for proper self-catering cooking, and it have books, DVDs and board games too. The mattress in the double bed is really good and seems new. The personal touches as well as the newly fitted oven/hob, fridge and dishwasher make this a lovely old school cottage with mod cons! Great strong shower too.

Check in was a breeze, and communication was great. Definitely come and stay here.

Sensational location, really cute cottage, stylish and cosy, fabulous beaches and scenery, great pub nearby. We loved it!

A truly wonderful place, I highly recommend it to anyone! The cottage is in a perfect location with amazing views, we visited in winter and loved lighting the wood/peat burner each evening. Such a cosy place to stay in a beautiful part of the world.

Amazing spot. Breathtaking views. Unique and cosy setting.

Where to start.. (Website hidden by Airbnb) location, and such a cozy, well-equipped and nicely styled cottage. The view is out of this world. Was lucky enough to have a morning coffee out on the deck in the middle of winter. The bed was very comfy.
Lovely owners, great communication.
Can’t wait to return in summer one day!

Beautiful spot and a really well-appointed cottage nestled on the coast. We loved it and would happily go back.

This place is s gem - a find. The cottage is so tastefully decorated. It’s also quirky - it’s location is sublime, set just above a cliff overlooking the Atlantic just
south of Killary Harbour at the mouth of Clew Bay. The beaches are spectacular and the views of the Islands and mountains are off the scale for beauty. There is a wonderfully comforting feel to the place - it’s been a very happy home, you can tell.

Wonderful Irish cottage along the Wild Atlantic Way. If you would like an authentic cottage this is the place, beautiful views all around and we enjoyed the Tullycross village just right up the road. This is a place to disconnect and sit by a fire and enjoy peace and quiet!

A gem of a cottage, simple but perfectly formed and the most breathtaking views out over the sea. We visited around late October so the weather wasnt great but it didnt matter. Windswept beach walks, cosy wood burning stove and books to read. Heaven. We felt very lucky to stay there.

Gorgeous old cottage in a beautiful location. Kids will love the 'trap door' into their attic room. Perfect base for exploring Connemara. Hope to return some summertime and take advantage of the deck with its beautiful views.

The best view of any place we have ever stayed! Right on the coast!

This cottage was the hit of our honeymoon ! The view is amazing even with a rainy weather. The cottage is very cozy , peaceful and romantic We wish we could have stay longer and we promise ourselves that we will come back. Caroline and Kevin gave us the perfect addresses for everything around (the oysters farm is really amazing)!!! Thanks and see you soon !

The view is absolutely breathtaking!!! I knew how remote this area of Connemara is & that's what attracted me, ideal spot to escape from it all. Went with a friend but this cottage would be ideal for a romantic getaway, or writing retreat. I would absolutely love to return! It's very cute, the stove in the sitting room made it a super cosy space in the evening (there are board games in the press so we played scrabble, which was a lovely touch since we were stuck inside with the rain), but even then when it was bright out we could not stop looking out the window at the sea. Otherworldly. There was also a lovely beach nearby. Only downsides were people with mobility issues may have problems with the stairs to the rooms & as we visited in October and the radiators were on a timer, I'd suggest a few extra cosy layers for during the day/when the stove is not lit. 🙂

I absolutely loved it. Unforgettable. The ideal remote escape.

- Unreal views from the decking and master bedroom.
- Lovely, unique cottage.
- Great pub within walking distance.
- Very helpful, attentive hosts.
....what more do you want?

Had a great stay at Caroline & Kevin’s cosy Irish cottage location and scenery is amazing and everything about the stay was relaxing and peaceful, great host who made sure we had everything we needed would highly recommend a stay here

Beautiful location. Exterior and interior were characterful and cosy. A great base from which to explore Connemara.

Es ist eines der tollsten Unterkünfte in unserem Urlaub auf Irland gewesen!
Es ist mit so viel liebe eingerichtet! Es ist alles vorhanden was man benötigt sogar ein GRILL!! Es ist überhaupt kein Problem zu viert dort eine tolle Zeit zu erleben. Strände sind in der Nähe und auch der Nationalpark. Die Ausstattung hatten wir so nicht erwartet alles ist sehr neu und wie man es selber haben möchte! Neue Elektrogeräte und alles super sauber. Aber das beste ist der Ausblick!!! Die Terrasse auf der man sitzen kann!! Unbeschreiblich Atemberaubende Aussicht! Wir haben Delphine und Seelöwen sehen können! Wir würden gerne wieder kommen und werden diese Unterkunft gerne weiter empfehlen!
LG Dennis & Friends

Spectacular views of Atlantic Ocean in a secluded Seaview cottage set in beautiful Connemara Coast along Wild Atlantic Way Galway. Have all mod cons and maintains the charm of a cosy cottage .
The cottage is well situated near beautiful beaches and short drive to Kylemore Abbey and Connemara National Park
Hosts very attentive and answered all questions promptly
Made us feel welcome by having fire on when we arrived
