The advertising of this property was somewhat misleading.. The advertising gave the impression that this cottage was one property when in fact it is two apartments. One on the ground floor and one partially on both the ground floor and first floor. There is an issue here that the advertising standards authority needs to investigate.

Mattie excelled in ensuring all was brilliant at the cottage and very welcoming.. We loved the cleanliness and the welcome pack. We would very readily return. We felt too that the owners were generous in leaving us things that we needed such as washing powder etc. And we loved the horses in the field at the bottom of the garden. I highly recommend and thank you Mattie for everything. We will be back!! One suggestion.....I think your advertising is a bit misleading. We didn’t see on the advert that the cottage was divided into two apartments. It really is important you as an agency say that up front. We were lucky as the people in the second one were quiet. D.

We had an absolutely fabulous holiday.. The cottage was even nicer than we expected and the owners are very nice, friendly and helpful. The location is great as it is quiet with very friendly neighbours but also a great place to base yourself to explore both Clare and Galway. We will definitely go back. So delighted with our find.

When you are not from the area it is a little tricky to find but once we got there it was grand.. Initially I thought it was a one floor cottage but it is split in two. (Maybe I misread the description). On first impression it wasn’t very clean but after a quick going over it was grand. The owner was a lovely man and it was handy that he lived next door, although we didn’t need anything during our stay, but I’m sure he would have helped if needed. Really enjoyed the log burner in the evening time which was a plus from me. When I got used to the idea of others being upstairs it was a great week away. The views are lovely and two horses where in the back field during our stay. I would recommend to others and would also go back to this cottage if I was ever going that way again as it central between Galway and Clare. Great time and great journeys around the area.

The cottage is beautifully located on a bay of the ocean in a quite area.. A simple house but with all the facilities you need. We made great trips in the area.

When we booked in January you arranged our ferry crossings which you have done on the 7 or 8 previous occasions we have stayed at this cottage.. Upon inspection of our tickets when we arrived at Cairnryan we discovered that the ferry crossings had been reversed - i.e departure from Belfast and arrival at Cairnryan so the 7.30am departure did not exist from there - it had been at 6am and the next one was 11.30am! So we had 4 hours to wait at the terminal. We were not very happy to say the least and had lost half a day of our holiday.

We really enjoyed staying in this cottage! It has everything you need and the surrounding landscape is absolutely beautiful. It is not far from Galway City, the Burren, Connemara, the Cliffs of Moher, the Aran Islands.....so there is a lot to do and a lot to see! Highly recommended!

The location of this property was great.. We liked that it was away from the city so we wouldn't have to deal with city traffic and noise, but it was close enough we could go in with no problem. Very convenient for day trips to Cliffs of Moher, Burren, and Connemara National Park. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, and hosts came over to introduce us to the amenities (changing heating, wifi, laundry, and stove). Very enjoyable and would definitely book again!

We spent a week here and found it exactly as described and very comfortable.. This was an ideal location to base ourselves to explore some of the West Cost of Ireland. Highly recommended.

We were so happy to find little things that made us feel so welcome: We found tea and coffee ready to be made when we arrived and when we opened the fridge we found a bottle of milk and butter.. The children were delighted to be able to have their hot chocolate in the morning when they woke up and we could have our cup of tea before leaving to visit and make some more shopping. The owner was very nice, even at the first phone call. That made us really looking forward to go there and when we met him he was so easy-going that evrything became so simple. We really enjoyed our time there. The cottage has fantastic surroundings ! We have spent such a great week ful of lovely walks and landscapes !

Brandy Harbour Cottage was lovely.. Extremely clean, well cared for cottage with everything that you could possibly need at a self-catering cottage. The owners are very helpful and live nearby. The location was exactly what I was looking for, by the sea, and very quiet. Overall we had a relaxing holiday and are looking at returning in the future.

Mrs Dunn, September 2016

The location was everything we hoped for and more.. Peace and quiet, views and ease to get elsewhere in Counties Galway and Clare exceeded our expectations. Beds were really comfortable and wifi was an added bonus. Would recommend and we would love to return. Anyone with walking disabilities (like my husbad) will find this propery perfect. Doors were wide enough to take a wheelchair too.

A very good quality property, well cared for and presented, very comfortable and homely. We especially spent a lot of time in the sun lounge, with rural views. Quiet position with gentle walk on level to small harbour, along coastline. Altogether, a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

Lovely location - we stayed in this property in 2015 and booked again! I think that says it all!

Mrs Marsh

Brandy Harbour Cottage was very cosy and welcoming and the beds were really comfy and there was plenty of hot water. The area is convenient for Galway and close to the sea. We had some good walks. All in all a brilliant holiday.
