“Great place, very friendly owner!”

Meic June 2024

“A very warm welcome from Cepta and Michael.”

House was ideal for our group of four (a couple and two other adults) and had fabulous views across the water. We had two cars and were able to explore widely along the Wild Atlantic Way and around Connemara. A very successful holiday.

- Meic, June 2024
Jane July 2023

“Prague House is home from home.”

Lots of home comforts, particularly the fireplaces, which host Cepta leaves enough fuel for each for the week. Cepta also left us treats to arrive to. She is very knowledgeable of the area as she grew up there. Cepta is contactable if necessary and very helpful. The house is well positioned for exploring Galway, which is stunning. It is spacious, well-maintained and the beds and furniture are comfortable. No complaints at all. Thank you Cepta.

- Jane, July 2023
Isabel June 2023

“Cepta and Michael are superb hosts.”

A lit fire on arrival, scones, being there to greet us, was beyond what you would expect. The house is so well equipped and ideal for families, going on holiday. The area itself was not as picturesque as the ring of kerry region, however, he enjoyed a nice peaceful week and I would recommend to people who are familiar with the area. Such great value for money. Thank you so much.

- Isabel, June 2023
Lesley July 2022

“Comfortable and beautifully presented home.”

Cepta had thought of everything and kitchen had mire than you would ever need. Very comfortable bed and chairs. I loved the wrap around terrace with stunning views from every angle. An excellent property for anyone with a disability. Would have no hesitation in recommending this house for a holiday.

John May 2022

“After arrival on our first day we met the owner Cepta who was wonderful.”

She let us take the keys early after a long journey from the car ferry in Dublin, and all throughout the week offered us info on lovely places to visit. The house is beautiful and is extremely quite and relaxing. The surrounding views are amazing and we would recommend this property to anyone wishing for a beautiful and peaceful holiday. Also a welcome bottle of wine and home baked cakes was very much appreciated when we settled in for our first day at the property. If we could return one day again it would be nice but the property is very well booked so get in fast to seal your fantastic holiday adventure.

Rosaleen August 2020

“The house was fantastic, fabulous views over the bay.”

A lovely welcome with fresh scones and fires lit, coil nt be nicer. Beautiful wild location which as an artist I really appreciated and Cepta pointed out all the places she thought would interest me and she was spot on!! The local shop was a treasure with everything you would need and the owner speaking Irish, was a treat, despite my Irish being very rusty!! I thoroughly enjoyed the week and will return again.

- Rosaleen, August 2020
Brenda July 2020

“Prague house is simply outstanding!”

It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The photos do not do the house justice! Cepta and Micheal were lovely hosts:welcoming, friendly and helpful in every way. The area was fantastic too. So much to do- we will have to return to do everything we wanted. We strongly recommend a day cycling on inis Oirr and climbing Diamond Hill. We could not recommend this house highly enough.

- Brenda, July 2020
Gill September 2019

“Prague House is an absolute delight.”

The setting is fabulous and the views over the water and to the mountains are stunning. The property is very well equipped and nicely furnished. Many thanks to Cepta and Michael for their warm welcome. We would love to return.

- Gill, September 2019
Courtney September 2019

“The Prague House is more than a person could hope for when booking a holiday home - we spent two weeks and would have been happy to extend our stay for much longer.”

The listing accurately represents the home, but it is so much more! Cepta and Micheal have beautifully updated this family home, retaining the historic integrity while adding every modern convenience a person could need while on vacation. We cannot say enough positive things about the Prague House and highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect base from which to experience all that Connemara has to offer!

- Courtney, September 2019
Loretta August 2019

“Mrs Stephens was a gracious host for our holiday rental.”

She welcomed us upon our arrival and provided very helpful information about the area and suggestions for activities and sights to visit.

- Loretta, August 2019
Graham August 2019

“The cottage was beautiful, in an amazing location and was spotlessly clean.”

The property owner, Cepta, has created a true 'home from home', providing guests with every conceivable comfort. The property, combined with Cepta's warm welcome and local knowledge, ensured we had a superb holiday. Thank you.

- Graham, August 2019
Helga July 2019

“The hosts, Cepta and Michael, were so welcoming.”

We felt at home instantly.

- Helga, July 2019
Bert May 2019

“The cottage is beautiful and much better than expected.”

Especially when you have look at Google-earth, the first impession is not that good. The environment is beautiful, only walking is a bit of a problem: no public footpathes . There's no detailled map of the surroundings in the cottage. You might advice future visitors to buy one at the Internet, because none of the local shops got one. To get around decently you need one. We had a excellent holliday!! Beste Regards Bert Bannink

- Bert, May 2019
Andy April 2019

“Had a great relaxing week, stress free booking process and brilliant cottage”

- Andy, April 2019
Davina September 2018

Christine August 2018

“What a beautiful & comfortable home.”

It is convienent & filled with all the modern convienences. The hosts are both helpful & available.

- Christine, August 2018
Susan July 2018

“The pictures of the cottage do not do it justice.”

It is beautiful, quiet and much larger than we thought. We were a group of six people - three generations of of our family. There were three large bedrooms and three baths. We had plenty of living space and privacy. Despite the remote feeling of the cottage, there is a grocery store and a butcher in easy walking distance. The small village has a Post office, gas station and pub. Everything that we could possibly need was thought of by the owner, Cepta Stevens. The garden is large and full of flowers. Our grandchildren played in the garden everyday. There are ponies across the road that are so gentle and love to be feed carrots and apples. We loved our week at Prague House.

- Susan, July 2018
Mary Beth June 2018

“The house was absolutely beautiful and clean.”

The views from every window were spectacular. Our house hosts, Cepta and Michael were so kind and welcoming as well. My family had a wonderful holiday that created very happy memories. The only thing that I might add to the house would be a laundry basket and more clothes pins to carry out laundry to hang outside.

- Mary Beth, June 2018
Brad May 2018

“Prague House in Lettermore is breathtaking!”

The views are spectacular, the people in the area are so welcoming and Prague House, or Ti Cepta to the locals, is exceptional!! It has everything we could ever need, is warm and inviting and equipped to the fullest. The ponies in the neighbouring field gallop to meet us, (maybe from the rustling of the carrot bag) and Michael and Cepta have ensured everything is perfect...a home away from home!!

- Brad, May 2018
David April 2018

“A beautiful bungalow with everything you need for a great holiday.”

Spotlessly clean. We were met by Sumpta, the owner who was so welcoming and friendly. She had lots to tell us about the area, she even rang halfway through the week to check we were ok. *****

- David, April 2018
Yvonne April 2017

“The holiday cottage was fantastic !”

Incredibly well equipped, clean and comfortable. It was a true home away from home. We really appreciated the personal touches and would love to stay again.

- Yvonne, April 2017
Janet September 2016

“Lovely large, cosy cottage, refurbished with love and care.”

We had a great week here and hope to come back one day. Many thanks to Cepta for the scones and warm welcome. The shop at the bottom of the road stocks everything and has long opening hours so no need to worry about groceries.

- Janet, September 2016
Sean July 2016

“We have just returned from a family holiday in which a large group of us stayed in Prague house and two other nearby cottages.”

I could not recommend Prague house enough. It was a beautifully decorated house with every thing you would need for a stay in Connemara. The kitchen of the house is particularly outstanding with a stove to burn turf on, which we used on a few rainy days. The owners of the house were wonderful and ensuring that we had everything we could possibly need. We are already looking forward to the next time we visit Prague house.

- Sean, July 2016

“What a wonderful house, and what a lovely reception!”

The house, it is beautiful with fabulous views and lovely rooms which are superbly equipped. The fantastic kitchen diner was of a standard we would dream of having in our own house. We can't fault this holiday home. We have stayed in many, many cottages and villas all over the UK, and Europe, and this, without doubt, was the nicest we have ever been to. 10/10 from us and highly recommended in every way.

Marie June 2014

“It was a home from home holiday experience.”

On arrival we were greeted by the owners at Prague House who showed us around and made us welcome. The table was set and there was fresh Irish soda bread, milk and treats, which were greatly appreciated after a long journey. The house was immaculate and the views are superb.

- Marie, June 2014
Margaret May 2014

“This was our 4th visit to Prague House and as usual it was perfect again.”

Wonderful reception with the owners. This place is more than excellent. It is a beautiful house with just about everything you need and there is a shop just down the lane selling more or less everything. A real homely feel with amazing views in a very peaceful area. Ideally located for visiting our family there and for a relaxing peaceful break. Already planning next year's visit.

- Margaret, May 2014
Maria May 2014

The property

This fabulous stone-built detached cottage is situated on the edge of the pretty village of Lettermore, on the Wild Atlantic Way in County Galway, and commands an elevated position close to the seaside.

Formerly the village shop, this Lettermore cottage dates back over 100 years, and has been lovingly restored to its current glory.

Today, the exposed stone walls, open fire, solid-fuel stove and original beams give this welcoming Lettermore cottage a cosy, homely feel, ideal for any family getaway.

The spacious interior of this Lettermore cottage makes it a very sociable place to stay, and just a short walk from the amenities of the village, including a butcher's, welcoming pub and village store, you won't have to go without.

Located on an island off the coast of Galway, Prague House feels like a real retreat, and the superb views on offer from the cottage make it a truly relaxing place to stay.

Stroll into the village of a morning and visit the butcher's, returning laden with goodies for breakfast, enjoy a round of golf on the challenging links course just a few miles away, or indulge yourself with a spot of fishing.

This outstanding cottage is great all year round.

Note: This property has a refundable Good Housekeeping bond of £80.
