Garafin · 整套民居 · 5室6床4.5卫 · 可住10人 · Garafin House, Connemara
Located at the tip of the Rosmuck peninsula in the heart of the Gaelic-speaking (Gaeltacht) area of Connemara, Garafin House provides an unrivalled combination of comfort and peace. With stunning views to the sea and islands and a mile of private rocky foreshore to explore and swim, it offers a perfect base for exploring Connemara, or simply relaxing in complete tranquillity. Gorgeous period features combine with modern comfort to make this a truly special place to get away from everything. Garafin House underwent a major restoration project a few years ago, retaining period features such as wooden shutters, original tiles and fireplaces, whilst adding details such as underfloor heating and walk in showers. Park up and enter through the back door into the coat and boot room, then into the well-equipped kitchen. There's an induction hob, double oven, fridge, freezer, microwave, food processor and more, plus plentiful cutlery, crockery and utensils - this is not your usual holiday let with one roasting tin and no serving dishes or sharp knives! We usually have a reasonable supply of spices, oils and seasoning available so you don't have to bring everything with you. There's a kitchen table and chairs for casual meals; for larger groups or entertaining the dining room next to the kitchen comfortably seats 10 and you'll find plenty more crockery, glassware and napkins etc. Off the dining room is the spacious master bedroom with gorgeous views, king size bed and large ensuite bathroom, containing a claw foot bathtub and separate shower. Along the light-filled main hall with it's original encaustic floor tiles, there are two more double bedrooms (one can be made up as a double or two singles) with ensuite bathrooms, both with walk-in showers. At the end of the hall is the drawing room, a large airy space with multiple sofas, chairs and areas for sitting. The large original fireplace, made of rare Connemara marble, provides a focal point and a cosy feel on a chilly day. The views across the garden to the sea are particularly lovely from the many windows in this room. There's a TV and DVD player in the far corner, plus a selection of books, games and lots of local information. Up the stairs from the kitchen, there's a large airy double room (king size bed, can be made up as two singles on request) which leads to a smaller bedroom with two single beds (plus cot), and a shared bathroom with shower. Multiple velux windows let in loads of light and there's a lot of space up here. This combination of rooms would be perfect for a family.
Our family of 11 had a wonderful stay at Garafin House. It is a fabulous, large house with loads of character and a rich history. The bedrooms were really comfortable and spacious, with mostly ensuite bathrooms. The sitting room is spacious, yet cosy. The fire was even lighting for us on arrival. Along with the flowers, wine, chocolates and scones waiting for us, we felt right at home immediately. There is a big garden with loads for the kids to explore, including a tree swing. There is a little harbour just down the road, and loads of rocks to explore. We went for nice, peaceful walks in the area, and drove to beaches and towns. Emily and Christina were great to deal with. I definitely recommend a stay here!
There's parking for multiple cars at the house; you will need a car to make the most of the area as there's very little in the way of public transport.
