We have just returned from a holiday in Connemara. We had booked this accommodation about 18 months previously before all the terrible reviews, so were committed to going. My wife and daughter are arachnophobic and there were spiders and webs everywhere inside the accommodation. Several different species in fact. It was dirty and smelled damp.

While the area that the cottages are in is beautiful, rural, and serene with lovely people--unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the cottages. Built in 1981, it doesn't look at though they have been updated much since. We stayed in the Boffin Cottage.
