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.

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.

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!

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.

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
