Having read the reviews on Tripadvisor we were disappointed with our stay. Our room was located in an annex separate from the charming thatched cottage. Good location for visiting Dun Aengus and the great yellow cafe nearby but very far out from Kilronan. When we asked the landlady how best to get into town she told us to walk towards... More

We stayed just one night but, I wish we could have lingered. Joe and Maura are so hospitable and kind. There were several other, couples,families staying and we quickly felt like a family in the cozy dining area and lounge. Irish weather ,being what it is, we were wet and chilled after our explores around the island, interesting and exciting... More

First time to Aran Islands despite living in Ireland all my life. Very impressed to see how many tourists flock to the islands. I did my bookings in haste without researching much about the island and Man Of Aran caught my eye. Initially it was just myself and my better half travelling and we had intended nothing more than a... More

The cottage is everything we had hoped for with its charm, history, warmth and wonderful people. Joe and Maura Wolfe are welcoming and accomodating. Joe's organic vegetables and herbs coupled with Maura's exquisite cooking made dinner a special event. We enjoyed the lovely view from every window, and especially relaxing on the patio overlooking Joe's garden, pastures and the ocean.... More

Man of Aran Cottage is a beautiful thatched roof cottage by the sea build back in the 1930's (for the award winning documentary film Man of Aran). It is now converted into an enchanting B&B run by a friendly and colourful couple, Maura and Joe Wolfe. Joe grows organic veggies and Maura is a wonderful cook so make sure you... More

The Man of Aran Cottage is a perfect setting for a base to then enjoy the Aran Islands. It's just a short walk to Dun Aengus and the beach. If you travel by Aer Arann, you'll be driven to and from the cottage for your flights. The rooms are so comfortable and just what you would expect in an Irish... More

When we arrived, Joe served us some tea and cake (homemade by his wife). We had our rooms in the annexe (inclouding sea views!!). Instead of eating out the two nights, we had dinner at the cottage because the food was so delicious! Everything is freshly made and they put in their own vegetables and seasoning. Have a look at...

We stayed only one night at Man of Aran. It was a big mistake; we should have stayed longer. We stayed in Room 1 in the main building. It is one of three rooms in the main building, and the only one which has a bathroom. Rooms two and three share a bathroom in the hall. The room was spacious,... More

We had such a wonderful time here with the hosts and the other guests. The food was so good, the views, the peace, all wonderful. We would go back in a second. Thank you! More

Excellent location on the quiet side of the island near a beautiful beach. Food was excellent too - both breakfast and dinner. Most excellent was the amazingly warm welcome and wonderful wit of our host Joe. He offered us a cup of tea (which came with a generous helping of his wife's delicious freshly baked cake) on arrival. This is... More
