Authentic Country Cottage
Our family of four was surrounded by lush greenery and Irish hillside in an authentic country cottage. We enjoyed watching the sheep roam the yard everyday. The calmness of the place was amazing. We had everything we needed. We were able to grocery shop a few miles away and cook at the cottage to save money for our adventures. Our children played the board games and hiked around the property.

Could have been better
Disappointed with a few issues: TV didn't work & was finally replaced after we'd been there 4 nights. Only 1 saucepan lid for 5 saucepans so made cooking anything tricky. No grill pan for the grill, no WIFI even though property states there is, exceeded my data allowance on my mobile phone as a result & could only get 5 G on phone in certain areas of cottage. No starter pack of fuel provided for wood burner. Instructions for cottage all in French. No washing up bowl provided. Broken hinge on toilet seat so seat wonky. Couldn't use wardrobes for hanging clothes as full of stuff. Expected better for the money. When complained to owner about no TV & no WI-FI they weren't at all apologetic.

A Dream Cottage
Of the many visits to Ireland I've had, this could probably be my favourite cottage of all. The location is absolutely amazing how it's tucked away between the hills. The inside was very cute and cosy. Loved the nearest town, Oughterard, which had a lovely coffee spot, several grocery options, and an amazing pub. I didn't want to leave, and can't wait to come back.

Lovely stay
We had a love stay on the outskirts of Oughterard! The property was quiet and remote and very enjoyable! Only thing I would say is we were a little confused on how to access the property at first because the address given stops at the cottages. I would also have liked the property manager to be more responsive, but the local contact was very helpful! Over all, this stay was great and will be incredibly memorable for a long time!

We had a great stay in Oughterard/Leam. The house was very comfortable, well equipped and spacious. Christian, the owner, provided answers to our queries in a very timely manner.
The location was great to explore the Connemara region as well as Galway. We highly recommend this house.

Fantastic time at cottage in beautiful surroundings
We had a fantastic week at the cottage. There was so much space and plenty of facilities. The location is spectacular views from every window. My son particularly enjoyed the friendly donkey who delighted us with his visits. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage and would love to stay again one day x

Nice, private cottage
Cottage is nicely decorated and spacious. Kitchen was well equipped. Very quiet, private location. The nearby village of Oughterard is lovely, with beautiful walks. The location is a good hub for adventures in the area. We really enjoyed our stay.
* Although the cottage is located on 9 acres, the cottage itself is fenced in tightly and the property is not accessible (and heavily populated with livestock).

The house is great and well situated, beautiful views and nice to have sheeps and horses around
We had a great time. The house is beautiful situated and with the sheeps and horses around and sometimes rabbits it is if you live in the middle of nature. Most of the things to do are max 1 hour drive from the house and when you drive in the surroundings the sceneries are beautiful. In the house there is a lot of space to sit down and relax (or watch tv, or just look outside the window from the couch in the kitchen and enjoy nature).

Very nice with a few surprises and hiccups
great with several worthwhile destinations within an hour's drive. "ocean view" in the listing obviously mistranslated obvious though, if you look at the map. No Wi-fi but a small portion of the kitchen has mobile data coverage. Bring a wifi router. Host only speaks frech. Lovely neighbourhood though. Very nice place if you're up for a moderate amount of adventure regarding the house.

Schöner Aufenthalt
Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt in Connemara. Das Haus liegt ruhig und abgelegen mitten in wunderschöner Natur und durch das schöne große Fenster konnte man auch gern mal eine Weile den Wolken, Regen und Wind zuschauen und dem Hasen, der täglich vorbeikam...Leider muss ich ein paar Abzüge machen: es gibt im Haus kein Trinkwasser, was schön gewesen wäre vorher zu wissen und es gab nur Unterlagen zum Haus auf französisch. Auch WLAN war nicht vorhanden obwohl es im Inserat steht ( was uns Erwachsene nicht so sehr gestört hat, aber unsere Tochter nicht so toll fand) und auch bei der Sauberkeit musste ich leider einen Stern weniger geben ( habe zum Beispiel erstmal das tolle große Fenster in Sitzhöhe putzen müssen, weil es noch Abdrücke von Kleinkindern hatte).
Trotzdem, tolles Haus und schöne Umgebung!

beau gite dans le connemara profond
dommage, le temps était vraiment moche, bien qu' en Irlande, il aurait été souhaitable que nous puissions disposer d'une cafetière électrique, de plus, une notice explicative aurait été utile, la confiance du propriétaire est indéniable mais peut-être trop modeste, sinon, le site est parfait. Gite très intéressant, voisins sympas.

Heel leuk vakantiehuisje
Wij hadden een geweldige vakantie. Het huisje is leuk en heeft een goede ligging om de buurt te verkennen.
Voor ons stadsmensen ook een leuke ervaring zijn alle dieren in de omgeving en het openen/ sluiten van de hekken om schapen binnen en/of buiten te houden.
Wij hebben genoten van deze buren en het prachtige uitzicht.

Beau sejour dans un environnement naturel
Cottage très charmant avec une belle baie vitrée. Se situe dans un environnement très agréable avec plein de bêtes autour. Dans l'équipement il y a plusieurs choses qui sont à remplacer. L'appareil pour l'eau chaude de la douche a été rapidement remplacé, mais le lave-vaisselle et le lave-linge n'était pas en état de fonctionnement. On garde toutefois un bon souvenir du cottage.
