Beautiful lake side cottage in the heart of Connemara

Connemara is one of Ireland's most iconic destinations, an area of unmatched natural beauty. Glenbrickeen Lodge is situated between the 12 Bens mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. The possibilities are endless in this wonderful area. A drive along the Sky Road or a visit to Kylemore Abbey. This captivating region offers many beautiful walks in the Connemara National Park or cycling along the scenic Atlantic coast roads. Rest a while listening to Irish Music in Clifden. Take your time playing a game of golf on the world famous Ballyconneely Golf Course.

Charming, quite location with access and view of lake. A cottage on 16 acre of ground. There are 5 rooms including two ensuite bedrooms. The kitchen is fully furnished. After a long day relax in the sitting room, over looking the lake, and surrounding Connemara country side. Free wifi in the cottage.

The house was in a glorious setting -views from every window. There was so much to do near bye-walking,boat trips, sight seeing and eating out. The house was roomy and comfortable.

A spacious house with all you need. Very good: a room/cupboard to dry everything that became wet during the walks, we made. Aside: there were also days with sunny moments!

Beautiful location by a lake with very few other houses around but easy to reach from the main road. A short drive from Clifden which has several supermarkets. Property is modern and well equipped. It felt very spacious for four adults and a baby. Mary the host was very responsive and helpful regarding a few items we needed for the baby.

My husband and I spent a lovely week in Marys house it is very clean and comfortable the surrounding area is beautiful and Clifden is a very pretty town with a good choice of restaurants and bars. Its about a 10 minute drive but could not walk to it as road is busy and windy. The weather was not great for us but the house was warm and cosy when we came back from our days out. Mary was very helpful and responded very quickly to any questions. Would definitely stay again.

My family very much enjoyed this rental. We searched all of Ireland and parts of England and looked at basically every rental that met our criteria. The house is off a main road that has neighbors, but it is very private and none of the neighbors are near by. The house is well designed for two couples or a family of 4-5, and without much clutter. The kitchen has all the gear you would want, including fry pans that are still non stick. The location of the house is not too far from Clifden and not too far from Connemara. The internet was extreme strong and had no issue with 4 devices running. The only potential negative is we thought we could walk to the lake, but the field is tiered and there is no lake access directly from the house. Overall, this is one of our top 4 vacation rentals, we had a very relaxing time, and we would definitely stay here again. 10/10.

Ein wunderschönes Haus, liebevoll eingerichtet in sehr ruhiger Lage. Nach einen langen Tag lÀdt die Terrasse mit Blick auf dem Teich zum Entspannen ein, am Abend kann man den Sternenhimmel beobachten sofern es das Wetter es zulÀsst. Die Stadt Clifden ist ca. 5 Km entfernt dort kann man sich mit allen notwendigen wie z.B. Lebensmitteln versorgen. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

Nous avons passé d'excellentes vacances dans cette superbe maison. Localisation (parfaite pour visister la région des lacs), propreté, équipements, contacts avec les prioritaires, informations données, etc. Tout était parfait ! Un gros plus : la litterie de trÚs bonne qualité. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

Absolutely lovely house, spotlessly clean, and with fabulous views. The location was perfect, very peaceful, but also close to Cliften, within easy access to stunning beaches, walks and restaurants. Mary was great - very quick to respond to messages and keen to make sure we had everything we needed. Hope to be back again soon.

During our Ireland tour, we and our two adult children really enjoyed our three-day stay in the holiday home near Clifden. There is a fantastic view of the nearby lake and the landscape. Deer and horses could be seen at the lake. The house is spacious, in top condition and very quiet (5 minutes by car from Clifden, where there are many shops). The furnishings and sophisticated design of the interior, cleanliness, contact with the landlord - everything was perfect. We would go back anytime!

Jolie maison trĂšs bien Ă©quipĂ©e. Une vue imprenable sur le lac, un joli poste d’observation pour apprĂ©cier les animaux sauvages et le passage de la tempĂȘte tout en Ă©tant bien au chaud dans le salon ! Une localisation GPS de la maison (latitude longitude) serait rassurant, on doit faire environ 1km et demi sur un chemin Ă©troit aprĂšs avoir quittĂ© la route principale.

Perfectly located in a quiet rural sitting 10 minutes drive from Clifden. Very clean, comfortable and spacious house. We had everything we needed for our 3-night stay. Cannot fault the property and would definitely stay again if in the region.

Séjour trÚs agréable dans un gite grand et confortable, trÚs bien situé (quelques minutes de Clifden, mais néanmoins en pleine campagne). Literie trÚs confortable. Un seul point d'amélioration déjà évoqué dans certains commentaires: il faudrait plus d'assiettes, verres, couverts.

Stay was what the doctor ordered. House set in hills about a mile up a side road from the main road. Peace and quiet in abundance with hares in garden in morning and deer in fields around house on a couple of evenings. House was spotless and cosy with comfy bed and great shower. Everything was as listed on website with good Wi-Fi.

Das Haus ist sehr schön und zweckmĂ€ĂŸig eingerichtet. Der Ausblich auf die Landschaft ist einmalig und beeindruckend. Es liegt abseits von aller GeschĂ€ftigkeit in alleiniger Lage. Ein wunderbarer Ort zum Entspannen und zur Ruhe zu finden.

Das Haus ist sehr neu, groß und super ausgestattet. Die Lage ist allerdings sehr abseits. Man kann von hier aus nirgendwo hinlaufen sondern muss immer mit dem Auto fahren
