We had a lovely stay, the cottage is so well equipt with everything we needed. We had a great Christmas here, and celebrated an 18th birthday too.There was a group of 9 of us ranging from 8 to 75. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for helping to make our Christmas special.

Perfect with kids

This house is set up perfectly for adults traveling with their school aged kids. Separate lounges with multiple doors in between allow for privacy and quiet. The only slight discomfort is the heat pump/sump pump that runs often but at uneven intervals. You soon learn to tune it out, but it can be distracting at first. Beautiful and comfortable home.

Great place

We loved our stay at cottage 345 - it has everything you could need or want! Comfy beds and living spaces, well equipped kitchen, very clean and the cherry on top is the views! Oughterard is a brilliant little town and you can easily access beautiful walks and beaches or head to Galway!

Very Happy and a lovely base to explore from.

Cottage is lovely and easy to find the local village is walkable and has everything you would want with shops and great restaurants (reasonable prices too) the only small thing we would suggest they improve is the lighting in the kitchen which is really insufficient if you want to cook in the evening.

Location was perfect to be away from the cities yet close enough to get to shopping & food. Plenty of attractions & hiking within short drives. Facility has all needs covered with beds to cover all. Highly recommend it to those not interested in city/hotel type lodging

We had a lovely time and the property was beautiful! Loved the wee local town and everyone was so friendly! One suggestion, as we stayed so close to Christmas it would have been lovely to have a Christmas tree or something festive in the house!

Historic Cottage

Overall our stay was good. The let downs included not having been given the correct key code for entry and having to wait too long for it.. The main contact was a very nice house cleaning lady who did her best to help. She too tried to contact management to get help for us. She finally got us the right code and we were in. The communication with the property manager was poor. There was no response to requests for a coffee pot and additional toilet paper. It would have been nice to have some directions regarding use of the stove and heating system. Nice home,and location though.

Everything we hoped it would be for our first stop in Ireland

Very sad to have checked out of this property. The owners were amazingly flexible giving us a lunchtime check in, after our ferry arrived in Rosslare at 4am. The garden was super dog friendly and secure, lots of space for running around and playing. Our dog is sadder than us to have left. The house itself is very comfortable. We loved spending time in the open plan kitchen and the little snug. Great hot water and shower pressure after long days hiking in Connemara national park. Everything was pretty much perfect for us.
