We had a lovely stay and the days were clear and bright showing off the location as we were surrounded by lough Corrib. The open fire was delightful. The well equipped kitchen easily accommodated our Christmas day meal. The design of the house is excellent and accommodates all real needs with a variety of spaces.

Nice little bungalow on the lake that my group stayed at for a few nights to explore Western Ireland. The scenery was gorgeous, and it was a very quick/easy drive into Oughterard for restaurants / supplies.

We had a wonderful time in the house. The pictures online do NOT do justice to the beauty of the location—absolutely gorgeous views from the dining room! Nice enclosed front yard and back yard leads to the water, fun for kids to play. It is a great place for families as the house is comfy enough where you aren’t worried a kid will destroy something. There is a washer/dryer which was tough for us (Americans) to figure out but that’s part of the charm of international travel. The kitchen was pretty well equipped although we found a plate or two had been put away dirty by prior guests. We ate most breakfasts and dinners there. The location was a great launching point for visiting the Connemara peninsula, Galway, Aran Islands, etc. Nick, the owner, was really helpful when I goofed up our reservation and needed to add an extra day. My only quibbles were that the house smelled a bit musty, particularly the back smaller bedroom. Also the rubbish bins outside were overfull when we arrived and not emptied by the end of our stay, forcing us to leave our trash in a bag outside the bins. But again, this was a great little spot with amazing natural beauty.

Wonderful stay by the lake

This stay and area were the highlight of our trip. We loved everything about the cottage and location. Breathtakingly beautiful and right near the lovey town with everything you need to include world class coffee, and multiple outstanding pubs. Clancys is an absolute must as is Powers Thatch.

Absolutely beautiful views of lakes and mountains!! Even got to see a sunset one evening!!! Beds are very comfortable and house is very quirky (in a good way) with old timey furniture and appliances (all work fine). Well stocked kitchen. Short drive into Oughterard (very cute little town) has supermarket and pubs (Clancy’s serves wonderful roasters and has live music). Convenient to take day trips to Connemara peninsula. All in all a grest place to stay.

Lovely New Year Retreat

After a whirlwind tour of Dublin and Cork we found a refreshing change of pace at this bungalow outside of Oughterard to ring in the New Year. There was plenty of room for the five of us and it made a great landing spot for day trips to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway.
