Great location

Had wanted to stay a little closer to Galway but this is what I eventually decided on and the location turned out to be perfect. Great for visiting all of the Connemara region and Inis Mor. This little fishing camp with four bedrooms and a beautiful view of Lake Corrib proved to be just the ticket for us.

Everything we needed was there. Well equipped kitchen. Views from house stunning. Situation of property meant it was safe to let the kids and dog out into the huge garden. Only thing that could be improved was a couple of the lamps weren't working and overhead light in living room was flickering. House was lovely and warm and clean.

Quiet

The cottage was very quiet and comfortable! It had a great view of Loch Corrib. Its location north of Galway is a really good spot to travel and see western Ireland. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay! Jack and Lucie

A superbly located cottage, very well equipped and comfortable.

A very quiet and peaceful location, within a few yards of Lough Corrib, with wonderful views. Close to the lively village of Oughterard. Very well equipped and maintained, and very clean. It was kind of Frank to stop by on occasion to make sure all was well - which it was.

Great cottage, great stay!

We had a great stay in this cottage. Not only was it a beautiful house with all the comfort we needed, but the location was frankly stunning. A beautiful garden and lake access: just a dream! An to top it up: the owners are some of the friendliest people we met in Ireland. They even lent us their boat to take a tour on the lake. We will be back, that's for sure!

Amazing location

We couldn’t have asked for a better location for our stay. The large garden opens onto Lough Corrib and we enjoyed relaxing outside and soaking in the views The cottage itself is spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with ample crockery and cooking utensils. However we felt some work was required to improve it - for example the lino on the floor is very old and uneven in parts and some of the blinds need replacing as the fringes are falling off and dead insects seem to be buried in them! The light in the utility doesn’t work However these issues are relatively minor and would not stop us from recommending it

Fell in Love

Ohhh how we fell in love with Oughterard. If you want to meet locals and enjoy pints galore with the most lovely people, this is your place to stay. The house is sweet. The views amazing. You’ll even find a cute Springer named Molly bolt through the yard from time to time. The hosts were very kind and it was just the best vacation ever.

Very Lovely Cottage

We loved our stay. Frank and Geraldine Molloy were very lovely hosts. The cottage had all the amenities we needed for our stay. The only thing that was missing was the dryer. There was a washing machine, but not a dryer as listed. The location was perfect. We could visit Galway as well as Connemara Visitor center, and the Kylemore Abby. The cottage was right on the lake, so the morning views were breathtaking. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone who likes a peaceful retreat.

Wonderful view!

Stunning location with view across Lake Corrib. Oughterard is a busy little place with good hostelries,supermarket and local produce The accommodation overall was good ie kitchen and bedrooms. The lounge is fairly small and furniture needs an update. Most of the time the outside furniture would be adequate but during hot sunny weather a parasol would have been appreciated. However this did not detract from an enjoyable stay and I would hope to stay again in the future
