  • "The Red House is a beautifully appointed accommodation where we enjoyed a really comfortable holiday in lovely Carraroe."

    The owner has equipped the house really well and it has everything you need. The host's welcome basket for our week's stay was a very kind and thoughtful gesture. The house is close to Carraroe village and to the beautiful Trá Dóilín (Coral Beach) - and a great base for exploring the wider Connemara area too.

  • "We really enjoyed our stay at the Red House."

    The house is beautifully decorated, very clean and comfortable and it has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Although it is situated in the peace and quiet of the Gaeltacht there are shops, pubs and restaurants close by. We had 2 young teenagers with us and they were able to walk down to the town. There are beautiful local walks and it’s very near Coral Strand. The owner left us a generous welcome basket which was really appreciated. My husband had to do some work during our stay and the WIFI was perfect. We highly recommend the Red House and we would choose to stay here again when in Galway.

    We appreciate you taking the time to write such a lovely review. We are pleased you hear you had a wonderful experience with your family at Red House. Property Owner

  • "Red House in Carraroe owned by Aine is an absolutely beautiful comfortable house."

    Aine has thought of everything ,even down to supplying a dog bowl, water bottle and poop bag holder for the dogs. The welcome basket was such a lovely surprise,even including treats for our dogs. The house is in a great spot for exploring the area with lovely beaches a short drive away.

    Many thanks for your lovely feedback, much appreciated and we are delighted to hear you enjoyed the break in the West of Ireland. Property Owner

The property

Red House is a welcoming single-storey house set in Carrowroe North, County Galway.

Suited families and groups of friends looking to explore the coast, this stylish abode boasts a toasty woodburning stove, an open-plan layout and lovely coastal views.

Parking up on the gravel driveway at Red House the detached cottage sits within open countryside, surrounded by heathers and a rugged lawn that reflects the character of this part of Connemara.

To the rear, an Atlantic inlet lies close by, with sea views that shift with the light and weather, forming a constant backdrop during your stay.

Outdoor seating includes a bistro table and chairs along with a picnic table, offering places to sit outside and enjoy the coastal air.

Stepping inside, you enter through a hallway where wooden flooring runs throughout the property, linking each room with a clean and cohesive feel.

To one side, the open‑plan living space opens up into a bright and well‑balanced room designed for shared time.

The dining area is arranged with a table, chairs, and a bench, seating six for relaxed meals together, whether that is breakfast before heading out or an evening spent winding down.

The kitchen sits comfortably within the same space, centred around an island with a breakfast bar that seats three, creating a natural spot to pause with a coffee or keep the cook company.

The layout works well for self‑catering, while practical touches are kept neatly out of sight, with a washer and dryer housed in the adjoining garage to support longer stays.

In the sitting area, a corner sofa and armchairs create a welcoming place to relax.

As evening draws in, the electric fire brings a gentle flicker of warmth, while the woodburning stove offers an inviting focal point for slower nights spent chatting or reading after a day outdoors.

All accommodation is arranged across the same level.

A double bedroom with wardrobe provides a comfortable retreat, while two single bedrooms offer flexible sleeping options for children or friends.

The larger double bedroom benefits from extra space and its own en‑suite, where decorative floor tiles add a pleasing detail and mornings can begin at an easy pace.

Outside, the non‑enclosed garden opens directly onto its scenic surroundings.

The rear of the property looks out towards the Atlantic inlet, making it easy to step out with a drink, sit at the picnic table, or simply take in the coastal setting.

The shoreline is close enough for unplanned walks, and a nearby shop and pub make it easy to pick up supplies or enjoy a meal out.

The property is on a bus route to Galway City - the bus will stop outside the house.

Further afield, Connemara National Park offers mountain trails through bogland, climbs that reward with wide‑reaching views, and quiet valleys shaped by the elements.

Galway City provides lively streets filled with music, waterside walks along the River Corrib, and a mix of independent shops and cafés.

Clifden is another appealing destination, known for its coastal scenery, the sweeping Sky Road, and a relaxed town centre ideal for an afternoon wander.
