Our family stayed at Hazel Lodge for a week on our 1st trip to Ireland. Location is so great. We took day trips to Cliffs of Moher, Aran islands, Connemara, Galway, and several surrounding castles and sights. There are multiple pubs and eating places in Oughterard. All are very good! We were able to purchase food to cook for breakfast and some lunches (picnic at Aasleagh falls). Maria and her associates Colie and Kathleen have everything you need to prepare food and even had fresh milk waiting in the fridge along with tea or coffee to make. Neighborhood is quiet and peaceful and home is amazingly clean and beautiful!
