In ten days travel thru the South and West, 8 different B and B's...Nancy's Thatch Cottage is by far the very best. Not only true Irish hospitality, but...the authenic baking over the peat fire, that never seems to go out, to the evening tea and game of scrabble. Our room was beautiful and spotless, with a view of the water... More

We were seeking the real personality of Ireland - not the big city sameness, but the real character of the country and its people. We found it at Cloch na Scith, that's for sure. This over 200 year old thatched cottage gave us the unique opportunity to stay in a historic home and pretend it was our own. Nancy greeted... More

My husband and I and my sister and her husband spent 3 nights here on a trip to Western Ireland. We loved Cloch na Scith. What a treat to stay in a historical Thatched Cottage. Nancy greeted us with tea/coffee and a freshly baked apple tart. Our rooms were big and very comfortable with lovely linens and immaculately clean. My... More

We stayed here on a stopover to see Galway and head through. The thatched cottage was excellent! The beds and pillows were the best we'd had in Ireland and the peat fire made the cottage feel our own little piece of Ireland. The scones that were made for us were the best that we have had while in the UK... More

Cloch Na Scith is very conveniently situated for traveling to the Aran Islands. The house itself is charming. Nancy is very friendly & pleasant host: if you aren't too pressed for time, this is a good place to stay. The food was excellent.

We planned to stay one night at Cloch na Scith and wish we had allowed for more time. We were greeted with tea and cake and seated next to a peat fire. Having driven for most of the day, the warmth of the fire and homemade sweets were delightful. Rooms were bright and clean with comfortable beds. The dinner recommendation... More

My husband and I stayed here last weekend for two nights and we loved it. It was so lovely to arrive and have the turf fire lit and Nancy had some apple tart waiting for us (which was delicious!!!). Our room was so pretty and perfectly decorated in cottage style but with a modern touch. The bed was a bit... More

Stayed here for one night during a research trip for a film project. Nancy and her husband are really nice and hospitable. Due to some work being done on the B&B rooms, we got to stay in the cottage for the same price as a room. It was beautiful and really comfortable, they have done a complete renovation to an... More

I arrived with a migraine and the landlady took wonderful care of us. The breakfast was the tastiest I've ever had. I want to return.

The Thatched Cottage was more than I expected. I really wanted to experience a turf fire and see how bread was made on the fire. I was able to do that and much more. The hospitality was exceptional. The room we stayed in was very nicely decorated, comfortable, with bathroom, overlooking the Aran Islands and peaceful. Seeing the ocean each... More
