Our host were wonderful. They live right across the street and their two friendly but alert dogs stand guard on the porch. Those dogs have the life!

We ended up exploring more than we anticipated on our way from Galway to Whitegate and ended up driving to the Lake house much later than we anticipated. Travelling from the U.S. we only had our car's GPS and wifi (when we could get it) to find our way. Barry was helpful and attempted to answer our questions as soon as he could. When we finally got to the general area of the lake house it was around 11:30 and very dark so it was a bit difficult to find out where we were supposed to be. Thankfully, Barry's Dad was waiting and saw us through the window and came out to the car to greet us. I thought we might have to sleep in the car since it was too late and we had no way of contacting anyone.
Once in the lake house, we were given a quick tour and left to relax after a long day. We were amazed to find out that Barry's Dad built the lake house himself, great set-up.

We loved the lake house and wish we could have spent more than a couple days there. The pictures are accurate, however the place is much more beautiful in person. The dock was recently destroyed by a storm, which did not stop us from enjoying the deck.

The space was very clean, the Wifi worked perfectly, the bed was comfy and it was nice to relax on the couch by the woodburning stove. We were provided with plenty of wood for each day we were there. We decided to do nothing but lay around the lakehouse for an entire day and night and it was just beautiful to lay on the bed or sit on the couch and look out the window at the lake.

There is a store not too far away which were were able to grab enough for some easy meals. Based on other reviews, we had planned to hit the store before we arrived but we came in to late for that.

We cannot say anything bad about our stay, we loved it! Thank you!
