A perfect base from which to sample the marvellous scenery and atmosphere of Connemara. Spotlessly clean with fantastic views and a wonderfully helpful hostess in Josephine. Johnny P.

The view you have on your site is not visible from the road and the entrance is very narrow and steep. I loved the cottage once I got there and got used to the entrance.

On arriving at Castle Demense House the first word was WOW the view over the sea is fantastic and fresh sea air. The house inside has everything you need and the owner is at the end of the phone if you have any problems or questions. We were really lucky and had nice bright weather most of the time and there were plenty of walks and attractions in the area to keep us busy, and the patio with the sea view to sit with a coffee if we just wanted to relax. The town has lots of places to eat and drink with some having traditional irish music. The house is on a steep hill from town, the walk down is easy but coming back you can get a taxi if you're not fit enough to walk back up the hill, the owner gave us taxi numbers. We even got to see a show of the connemara ponies at the showground.
