Thank you Pat and Mary for a wonderful stay in Oughterard. We are just back from a week exploring Connemara with our three girls and dog. We found the house easily and there was a perfect Irish welcome waiting for us with fresh scones, tea and the smell of turf burning in the stove. The cottage is extremely comfortable with everything you could need. Excellent Wi-Fi and a smart tv were great for the kids and adults alike to sit back in the evening and watch a movie in the cosy sitting room. There was oodles of hot water for showers and we had the best sleeps. We cooked in a couple of nights (lovely butchers and grocery in town) but mainly ate out in the local restaurants of Oughterard (Powers, the Greenway Cafe and the Boat Inn were all excellent). So much to see and do here, with Pat and Mary excellent for advice on what to do and where to go. Highlights were pony trekking, Inishbofin island, Dogs Bay for crystal clear water and Kylemore Abbey to name but a few. Beautiful walks to the lake and castle too. We would highly recommend our stay here and a big thank you to Pat and Mary for making us feel so welcome and for being so kind to our girls. Looking forward to coming back again
