Cedar Cottage, across from the river in Oughterard
Planning a trip to Connemara or the West of Ireland and looking for a home base for the week? Headed to Galway for the races, a sporting event, or a festival? Headed to Oughterard for a fishing trip or a wedding? Cedar Cottage may be the spot for you. Located just outside bustling village of Oughterard (10-15 min walk), you'll have access to all the West has to offer, with a country feel. Park your car in the driveway and walk to the village for lunch or a few pints as you take in views of the Owenriff River.
Within a 15 minute stroll of the lively village centre and across the street from a river, Cedar Cottage is a post war traditional cottage that has been completely renovated and brought up to modern day standards.

This lovely home accommodates six in three bedrooms and has a light and airy feel to it with lots of windows allowing natural light to flood the home set in this idyllic location.
It's set up for a family - bunk beds, a full size crib/cot, and tons of toys for infants, toddlers, and older children.

The cottage was exactly as described in the listing. Lovely, bright, very clean with a spacious kitchen and located right across from the park. It was a perfect base for my day trips up to Connemara and also to areas south of Galway. An easy walk into town for groceries, dinner at a pub or just for a drink and music at Clancy's. The host, Kathleen was easy to reach on VRBO and responded quickly.
