Dessie's appartment is perfect if you want to explore west Ireland. The appartment is comfortable and it has the main necessary things.
The only problem was that Dessie has a lot of work in his bar, so it was a little difficult to talk to him relaxly, however, Dessie always tryed to help us when we asked him for excursions.
Ideal for couples. We were three and they putting one more bed (there is space).
Oughterard is a beautiful village, close to the appartment there are several supermarkets, a post Office, pharmacy, Bank of Ireland, pubs, souvenir shops, petrol station, etc.
In 5 minutes by car you can get the PRINCESS CORRIB to exploring the lake and see amazing landscapes, visiting the owesome Ashford Castle, walking for Cong (the village were took place the movie THE QUIET MAN) etc.
In The area you can find two castles and the Saint Brigid Gardens, there are too many things to do!
Galway is only 30 minutes by car.
Cliffs of Moher 1 and half hour.
And the pretty and amazing village of Kilkee is 2 hours by car. I do recommend to do this journey, Kilkee has a cliffs as stunning and wonderful as Moher's Cliffs, and the visit is free and even you can do half of the route by car if you are tired.
The appartment is also very close to Connemara' s airport, if you wanna go to Aran Islands by plane (it last only 8minutes the journey).
