Nous y revenons toujours avec un grand plaisir pour la beauté de ce coin d'Irlande et l'accueil chaleureux de Mary et Marcus.

“Marcus and Mary were exceptional hosts, nothing was too much trouble.”

For a lover of traditional Irish music it was heaven as Marcus and his two sons are accomplished musicians. We felt that we were part of the family. We experienced something that can't be guaranteed in Connemara 'almost unbroken sunshine for a whole week, only one heavy downpour and that only lasted for 30 minutes'. The view from the back of the cottage was amazing - South Connemara and the Aran Islands

“lovely warm hgiuse in a very scenic location”

Lovely homely warm house in Connemara near beautiful beaches and a half hour drive to Clifden. Very hospitable hosts that are near to answer any questions about the area or the house. We found it to be a very relaxing holiday.

“We really enjoyed our stay at Hernon cottage in Carna.”

The hosts, Mary and Marcus, were great, welcoming, kind, attentive. Mary baked a delicious Irish bread for us. The cottage was very clean and warm. It had all we could think of. Mary and Marcus left us tea, coffee, milk and butter as well. There is an absolutely stunning view of the ocean!! The village itself is very quiet. There is s nice beach only a few minutes walk. We would definitely recommend to stay at Hernon cottage if you are keen to explore the western coast. Thank you very much to Mary, Marcus and their lovely son for their warm hospitality!!

“Homely and Lovely”

Staying here does literally feel like you are being welcomed into someone's home. The hosts greet you like old friends and the house has everything you could possibly need for a good holiday in the area. It is perfectly placed between Clifden and Galway and the scenery driving to either place is spectacular. The owner bringing round freshly baked and still warm soda bread was an absolutely lovely touch we won't ever forget. We'd love to come back here at some point.

“Having the owners so nearby was lovely.”

They were there to help but not in any way intrusive to our privacy. Mary baked us soda bread and brought it round which was a really special touch to our stay. The house was warm and homely. The owners had lit us a fire for when we arrived. We rarely consider coming back to the same property as prefer to experience new places but would make an exception for Hernon's Cottage.

“We had a wonderful stay at Hernons Cottage, made all the better by the lovely owners, Marcus and Mary Hernon.”

We arrived to a roaring fire, freshly baked bread and essentials in the handmade kitchen. Anyone planning on staying here will not be disappointed..... waking to the wonderful sea view every morning was simply magnificent!

About the location

CARNA, COUNTY GALWAY

Clifden 23 miles; Galway 49 miles.

The small, quiet village of Carna in the heart of the Irish-speaking area of Connemara Gaeltacht, is set on the shores of Galway Bay, overlooking Galway Harbour, in the scenic region of Connemara. Carna is noted for its traditional Irish music and singing, and music sessions are held weekly in the local pubs and hotel. For walkers, runners, cyclists and hillwalkers, the area provides opportunities unrivalled for their tranquillity and scenery. The quiet roads leading to Mweenish Island and the local coves are ideal for family cycling. Lying off the coast of Carna is St. MacDara's Island, a site of pilgrimage and mass held on 16th July each year. The famous sailing crafts, the 'Galway Hookers' were made in Carna, as well as a small boat called the Currach, and the area is well known for the skilled boat-makers who crafted them. There are still some working examples of the 'Galway Hooker' moored at Mweenish Island and Cashel Bay and 'hooker' regattas are held throughout July and August. It is also possible to book a day trip on a local 'hooker'. There is great fishing in the area with many working piers providing an ideal place for lobster, crab and mackerel fishing, while Connemara National Park, home to the famous Connemara Pony and Kylemore Abbey are both within easy reach, providing great days out for all the family.
