"A stranger is a friend you haven't met yet "... "A stranger is a friend that you don't know yet ... " Irish saying The Calla School House was built over 100 years ago and served as a village school in Ballyconneely until the 1970s. Then the house was expanded and used privately; bought, refurbished and completely renovated by us in 2013, taking into account the old structures. The location of the house on the 'Wild Atlantic Way' is unique: right on the coast, framed by the 'bog', (moor), a lake and mountains: pure Connemara! Nearby Clifden, Connemara’s capital with many restaurants and shopping, and Roundstone, one of the prettiest coastal towns in Ireland. The coast offers many of the most beautiful beaches of Connemara with different characters in the surrounding area. Calla Beach can be reached on foot in 10 minutes. Our attraction: hike to the uninhabited small island (Inis Stavros) at low tide :) The house has 3 bedrooms, 1 living and dining room, a large kitchen, 1 bathroom with shower and two sinks. The glazed veranda offers incomparable views over Maumeen Lake, in which the sky is reflected, on the moor, in which sheep and horses graze, and on the mountain range of the Twelve Bens. The house is equipped with a new gas central heating / hot water, the consumption of which can be individually controlled with a timer. The energy costs (minus the first € 10.00) will be charged separately after meter reading and deducted from the deposit after departure. The house is surrounded by a garden of about 2000 square meters, which has various terraces with seating and small tables. There is also a picnic table. In the so-called "Swimming pool" can be sheltered from the wind with a view of the mountains and Maumeen Lake! Let us speak to one of our guests: ".... Calla Old School House is not really a holiday home. Rather, it is a home that is borrowed from the owner for a week or more. And it also feels like being at home. The drawers are full of useful things, scotch tape, writing utensils, sewing tools, tools, hand mixers, baking dishes etc. The house offers plenty of space: a large living room, dining room and kitchen, bathroom, three bedrooms and a winter garden. In addition, it is extremely tasteful and furnished with great attention to detail. Not to forget the beautiful garden, which even has a seat and garden furniture, is an absolute rarity for Ireland, since gravel places around the house actually dominate here. Everything corresponds to German standards, dishwasher, coffee machine, central heating, warm water etc. Not to forget the wonderful little details such as. B. the electric blanket in the master bedroom. We also enjoyed the fireplace, although we still haven't figured out how to make peat briquettes burn. With us they just smoldered. We enjoyed living, reading, cooking, sitting in the garden in the sun, watching the sunset, eating in the winter garden, collecting shells on the beach, visiting the island at low tide and listening to the wind. Anyone who misses the Internet here can only be a teenage addict - like our son. But even he had to admit that the house is just great .....

The information provided by the hosts was great and helped us plan our walks and activities every day. The local beach is beautiful and quiet and great for a swim. At low tide you can walk to the island and explore which the kids loved.

The house is gorgeous, best rental we've ever stayed in. It has everything you'll need and is very comfortable. Beautiful beaches all along the nearby coastline. We swam every day, mostly at Calla beach, only 10 minute walk away. Our boys enjoyed using the bicycles to cycle to the shop in nearby Ballyconneely. Highly recommend Keoghs bar/restaurant in Ballyconneely where you will find great food, welcoming staff and a relaxed atmosphere. We fell in love with Connemara and will definitely be back xx ❤️ ##### Christina B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna O.

This was our first winter visit. We will be back again.. this is less the formula holiday home that can be rented anywhere, and so mischievous more this is a home for holidays! There is a warmth and generosity to the place that relaxes and comforts you and all that in the most wonderful Connemara. The CD collection is all worth a listen!

Comfortable beds, good heating, well-equipped kitchen (the dishwasher was replaced during our stay). Lovely calm decor, seashore finds everywhere around the place, conservatory and secluded garden out back One quirk to be aware of is that the TV is internet only, no terrestrial or satellite. If you have apps on your phone you can 'mirror' to it, which is what we did; it's not hard to set up, just be prepared. And the plumbing is no flushing of paper, so pretend you're on a holiday in the Mediterranean countries where that is standard, the weather might even oblige! We had some gorgeous days even at the end of September. Communication was great throughout. ##### C F. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna D.

It's a very comfortable and spacious home away from home. The views are fantastic; both during the day and during the evening. We were able to relax properly and that is what a holiday is about for us. We walked to Calla beach and visited quite a few other local beaches, rock pooling and we did some great walks. We would love to visit again sometime in the summer; although the weather was actually very good. It did rain, but mostly in the evenings and during the nights. A couple of showers but lots of sunshine as well. Unfortunately, our son left his phone at the house when we left.. However, Gabriele and Klaudia were so good about this. They directly offered to send it back to our home in England. Their communication was excellent throughout. I can recommend Calla School House wholeheartedly! ##### Anna D.

Es ist mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. Nach den Ausflügen in die wirklich wunderschöne Umgebung, kamen wir immer gerne in das gemütliche Haus zurück. Es war sehr sauber, geschmackvoll und schön eingerichtet und es gab viele gute Erklärungen und Tipps für einen perfekten Urlaub. ##### Silja F.

Wir verbrachten eine wunderbare und sehr bereichernde Woche in diesem aussergewöhnlich schönen Haus sowie der Umgebung von Connemara. Wir sind begeistert! Es fehlte uns an nichts, eher in diesem Zusammenhang, fehlt uns Calla seit unserer Abreise. Connemara ist unfassbar schön und verewigt sich im Herzen des Besuchers. Ist das Klima auch rauh,findet sich auch der Sonnemensch schnell zurecht. Die Menschen sind freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sucht man Ruhe, ist man hier genau richtig. Leben und Trubel finden sich in den liebenswerten Städten Clifden und Galway. Wir waren Neulinge, hatten jedoch keinerlei Schwierigkeiten uns zurecht zu finden. Wir freuen uns einfach auf den nächsten Besuch in Calla, Old School House! Bis dahin, Claudia&Bernd ##### Bernd F.
