We stayed at Catherine's for 9 nights and we had a wonderful time. The house is amazing, cost and warm with beautiful views of the countryside. It is very central for visiting Cong and Lough Corrib. There is lots to do in the area if you are interested in walks, cycling, kayaking, and Hill wakking. It has an easy gateway to Connemara which is a must. I would highly recommend Catherine's cottage and plan to go back some time.
