The Carberry house was a wonderful place to relax after some jet lag, and a perfect location to venture out from to explore the area. Louise was a warm and gracious hostess, greeting us upon arrival and providing us with fresh eggs and milk. The house was beautifully decorated, beds were comfy, and Louise considered all the details that make for a great stay. It would have been a lovely spot to just curl up with a cup of tea and a book, but it is only a five minute drive (or short walk) into the village of Oughtarard and some pubs for a drink and some music. We did day trips to Connemara and the Cliffs of Mohrer, and explored a few medieval castles in the area. Our stay was far too short. We would certainly consider staying here again if we are so fortunate. This is a gem.
