Love Connemara Cottages acquires marketing agency for holiday homes in Mayo

Love Connemara Cottages, one of the west’s leading self-catering marketing agencies, is delighted to announce the acquisition of Connemara and Mayo Coastal Cottages, a long-established and highly respected holiday-letting agency based in Letterfrack, Co Galway. This strategic acquisition brings together two of the most recognised names in the Connemara holiday market, enhancing the range and reach of self-catering properties available along Ireland’s iconic Wild Atlantic Way.

Terry O’Toole, Managing Director, Love Connemara Cottages explains: “We are very excited to expand our self-catering offering on this part of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way. The new hosts (and their unique properties) greatly complement our existing ones. We wish to thank Siobhán for a smooth transition and wish her all the very best in her new endeavours.”

Siobhán Bennett, Owner and Manager, Connemara and Mayo Coastal Cottages said: “It has been a privilege to work with welcoming owners from across Connemara and Co Mayo. I am delighted to be transitioning my business to Love Connemara Cottages. They are a fellow Irish-owned company based in Clifden. They have a strong market presence and will take over the next part of the journey for Connemara and Mayo Coastal Cottages.”

Founded in 2014, Love Connemara Cottages has grown to include a diverse portfolio of over 120 high-quality cottages, houses, and apartments across the Connemara region of County Galway. With a dedicated team of five full-time staff, the company has built a reputation as the premier self-catering marketing agency in Connemara, attracting guests from around the world seeking authentic, memorable stays along the Wild Atlantic Way.

Established in 1995 by Julia Awcock, Connemara Coastal Cottages is one of Ireland’s longest-running self-catering agencies, representing more than 70 properties across Connemara and County Mayo. Siobhán Bennett acquired the business in 2018, later expanding it in 2020 with the launch of Mayo Coastal Cottages.

After more than 30 years serving the region’s tourism sector, the business and its portfolio will now transition to Love Connemara Cottages, ensuring continued support for local property owners and visitors alike.
