“If we can winter this one out, we can summer anywhere.”

— Seamus Heaney, 1972.

We wish to confirm that our business is taking every step to be safe. A self catered cottage with self check-in, extra covid checks and a welcome box with wipes, gloves etc is one of the safest options for a holiday with all that is happening at the moment. Our website booking system has been inundated for certain peak dates recently - so much so that we are asking people to contact us directly to enable us to find dates that work for you and your party. Things change daily with new bookings and occasional cancellations. An email, phone call or WhatsApp message to Dan on 085 7052535 will get you the most up to date info on our availability and the best prices when booking direct with our team.

We have always operated self check ins for our guests if they arrive late at night, but are able to extend this to every guest if they do not wish to have any contact. Our cleaning team have always made our cottages spotless but now we are taking even more precautions. Our local delivery service for meals (if you don’t wish to cook every day in your open plan kitchen in the cottage) has been added to and features many options for dining in while looking out across Galway Bay. We provide gloves, face masks and extra cleaning products/wipes in every cottage. Stay safe and we hope to see you out West soon! Dan, Sarah, Lockie, Leon, Eden & Bobbi.
