We had a lovely time here. The house feels very private & secluded but it takes no longer than five minutes to drive into town. Oughterard is a perfect town for anglers and hikers, with Lough Carrib right around the corner. The town has many pubs with great food. The house was as-advertised, very clean & spacious with amazing views. Niamh gave us a ton of information before our arrival (directions, house information, suggestions for activities and restaurants), so that our arrival was seamless and we were able to plan our days effectively.
We used it the house as a "base camp" for day trips to Galway (25 mins) and the Aran Islands (25mins to ferry). We didn't have enough time to fully explore Connemara - hopefully next time.
