Peter’s house is modern and well appointed with everything you’d need for your stay. With very friendly help/support when needed from the host’s family - even solutions to dramas like finding somewhere to treat a child requiring stitches were so reassuringly handled for us.
This is the most amazing location you could possibly stay in. Stunning views in a quiet very remote place and yet a short drive to shop/hotel/bar/restaurant and 15 mins to Linnane with more facilities.
If you like wild (but not threatening) mountain walks in dramatic scenery, picnicing with children bathing in small safe streams, this is your dream location. Close-by at Lough Nafooey (10 mins drive) is a lakeside beach while there are many outstanding seaside beaches within a 45 minute drive. There are great places to venture to from Maam including Galway City, Oughterard, Cong, Kylemore, Roundstone, Carraroe Coral Strand, Omey Island, Clifden, Westport/Croagh Patrick and Connemara National Park.
In all honesty, I fear that giving Peter’s house such an enthusiastic reference will make it harder to book in the future….. but he and this house deserve that! We will certainly be back.
