Dove Cottage
Small but very cozy cottage! The owners were great and very helpful. Given the opportunity, we'd stay there again like a shot. And Oughterard is a wonderful center for exploring Connemara and Counties Galway and Mayo.
Charming cottage five minutes from Oughterard
This cottage offers very comfortable bedding and a beautifull setting just outside of the village of Oughterard. The owners were friendly and their recommendations were very helpfull. Our stay at this rental was the perfect base to explore the Connemara region as well Galway City.
