AMAZING place to stay near Galway
Joe is a fantastic host and his property is gorgeous! If I ever end up back in Ireland, it’d be worth planning my schedule around dates that are free at this location. The gardens are amazing, the house dog is very friendly, and Joe went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay.

Perfectly amazing!
Wow! If I was able I’d give this 10 stars! It’s a beautiful property (I even asked Michelle and Joe for sources for their decor!). Joe greeted us warmly and showed us around. It’s light and contemporary. It’s conveniently located to take in much sightseeing —-and on a gorgeous 2 acre property. I thought it was brand new as everything sparkles. You have your own 2 bedroom cottage with privacy and the private hot tub was amazing at night. Joe is warm and full of ideas and information on things to do. We loved it here and would absolutely come back and stay longer. Don’t miss this gem! Joe and Michelle are A+ hosts. Thank you!

Wish we stayed longer
Best host we had in two weeks in Ireland. Didn't expect to use the hot tub but glad we did, fantastic way to relax in the middle of the trip. Some personal touches we wished other places included were robes, coffee/tea and bread and butter upon arrival, and an adapter if we didn't have one. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful, quiet spot.
It was an amazing place to stay. You enter up a winding, gravel driveway and are greeted by the owner's gorgeous house. Going around back takes you to the lodging. There is parking around back and we were greeted by the owner. He was very friendly and warm and gave us a quick tour and instructions on using the hot tub.

What a wonderful time we had at rosewood cottage . The garden the hot tub the cottage was all absolutely amazing. Joe was such a friendly host so lovely. We had our son who is autistic with us and it was just the perfect place for him to relax and chill. And you could either just chill at the cottage or walk around the gardens with beautiful flowers and a herb garden and vegetable garden. And we loved getting paid a little visit by his lovely dog Milo who just peeped around the corner Such a friendly dog. Joe gave us loads of information where to go so you won’t be stuck for restaurants or places to visit. And the whole stay is completely private all you need to do is txt joe if you need anything. I would definitely stay at rosewood cottage again and there is everything you need you do not need to take anything at all it is definitely a home from home. All linen towels robes shampoo shower gel . Fridge basics cupboard basics also some lovely sourdough and pure orange for breakfast . Such a lovely touch with all these things provided. Don’t hesitate to book rosewood cottage . And the cottage is absolutely spotless . Thank you joe for the wonderful stay

Such a lovely country cottage. We absolutely loved our stay. The accommodations exceeded our expectations and the host, Joe, was wonderful and very helpful. This cottage is in a perfect location to explore Galway, Cliffs of Moher, Connemara, etc. I consider myself a little snobbish when it comes where I want to sleep and I would absolutely! stay here again.

Best Stay in Ireland
Our 2 week vacation included four B&B/VRBO stays and Rosewood cottage was by far our favorite spot in Ireland. Joe and Michelle were awesome hosts and the cottage felt like "home". We stayed 3 nights and found the cottage stocked with great thoughtful touches.... bathrobes and beach towels for the hot tub, electric converters and adapter, fresh breakfast items, ice, high-speed wifi and wonderful restaurant recommendations. We went to nearby Morans Oyster House twice. Their seafood chowder, hake and native oysters were the best we tasted in all of Ireland. Rosewood cottage makes a great home base between Cliffs of Moher/Burren and Galway/Connemera. We will definitely return when we visit Ireland again. Thanks Joe and Michelle for capping our trip with such a sweet ending.

Stay at Rosewood Cottage in Clarinbridge
On a scale of one to five, Rosewood is a 6. We stayed three nights and it was best place we stayed on our trip and perhaps the most lovely accommodations we’ve had on a vacation. If you think this is overly effusive, sked a stay and I bet you’ll agree. First, Joe is as warm and gracious a host and person as you can imagine. He showed us what we needed to know, asked us about our plans and offered a few (spot on) suggestions. He checked in via email to ensure we had everything we needed. He’s an engaging conversationalist but gives space if that’s your preference. The two bedroom cottage is new, absolutely spotless and perfectly appointed. Joe asked us before we left if we had feedback for things they might do to improve it. Nobody in my family can come up with anything. Rosewood is as close to perfect as it gets. We were out and about for most days, but knowing we had a hot tub and new, high quality comfortable beds to come back to was terrific. If someone wanted to stay behind for a quiet day, the cottage and backyard are lovely. Gorgeous flowers. Hearing the cows lowing down the street is wonderful too. We made dinner at Rosewood one night and had everything we needed. Another night, Joe recommended Moran’s Of The Weir. It was as good or better than advertised. Joe has added a bunch of small touches like extra international converter plugs in the closet. Comfy bathrobes for going out to the hot tub. Beach towels for the tub. Lots of books and movies. A hot tub cover that goes on and off quickly and effortlessly and has safety latches. Clarinbridge is well located. About an hour down to the Cliffs of Moher, half an hour or so to Galway, and an hour and a half out to Connemara. I can’t recommend Rosewood highly enough—and can’t wait to get back.
