Self-catering Holidays in Connemara

In Oscar Wilde's words, "A Savage Beauty," the Connemara landscape is a place of profound beauty, so, naturally, world-famous artists, poets, and playwrights have found inspiration here.

Surrounded by the Wild Atlantic and beautifully set within a scenic corner of Galway, Connemara is famous for its wild rocky terrain and soft colours. Rusty bogs dotted with grey-blue lakes over hills and coral beaches.

Connemara is about Irish culture and the Irish language, which is spoken natively by the locals. It's about friendly, welcoming towns and villages such as Spiddal, Carraroe, Roundstone, Clifden, Letterfrack and Leenane.
