After a thoroughly enjoyable stay in 2011 (see earlier review), we returned this year to Sea-Side for 3 nights, and then for another 8 nights, and were welcomed like old friends. This is a charming home well off the beaten path, with cattle in the adjacent fields and the rural quiet broken only by occasional mooing and the sound of... More

If you are looking for somewhere quietly located but within easy reach of the wonderful scenery of Co Galway, this is a very good place to start. Beautiful view from the breakfast room and if you go hungry, you only have yourself to blame! Thank you Maureen for our lovely cups of tea and scones in the evening - I... More

This is LONG overdue!! I traveled to Galway with my mom and sister in October 2010 (despite the date below. Wouldn't let me choose 2010) for my first trip to Ireland. The Cookes were amazing hosts and we all wished we could have stayed for the entire trip. The house was cozy and inviting. Breakfast (and I've had many at... More

Without having pre-booked our trip, Sea Side B&B was the most welcome sight when it was already getting dark. Having arrived, we were taken care of most cordially and attentively. The late afternoon tea, the spectacular views of the sunset over the ocean, the comfy beds and the lovely chat at the turf fire rounded up our experience. Breakfast was... More

It has been our first time in Irland, and we hadn't reserved any room except the one for the first two nights in Dublin. Our intention was to see as much as possible, travelling from place to place by car so to be free to take a room wherever we arrived - but we arrived at Mweenish Island, and we... More

Sea-Side B&B is on Mweenish Island, connected by bridge from Carna, Connemara, so the added allure of being on an island is part of your experience. The view from the breakfast sunroom is all sea and stonewalled fields and offshore islands -- beautiful in any weather. There are two ensuite rooms, the larger with a view of fields and Coilleen...

There isn't much more I can say that hasn't been said about this lovely B&B located on a beautiful peninsula surrounded by the Sea. Carna is truly Ireland at its most raw & untamed. We arrived in a rainstorm at Sea-Side B and B and couldn't have asked for a more hospitable and charming destination! As New Englanders, we were... More

Seaside B&B on Mweenish island is a lovely place where you can forget for a while our fast crazy urban life. Its owners Frank and Maurine Cooke are very friendly people with whom you may feel very comfortably. The house stands right on the shore of the ocean and you may enjoy severe landscapes of Connemara right from the terrace... More

Maureen and Frank are GREAT hosts. Hope to stay for more than one night. I'm sure Frank has a lot more stories to tell! Thank you for your hospitality :]
