We had a lovely stay at Ken's place in Oughterard. The cottage is very private with a concrete patio out front where we ate (when the weather permitted us to) our breakfast, immersing ourselves in the surrounding countryside. It is a simply decorated cottage with open fireplaces, comfortable couches and plenty of blankets to keep you extra cosy. We did a good deal of relaxing in the sitting room! The house is about a ten minute drive from the gorgeous village of Oughterard and the drive out along the lake side is stunning. Highly recommended.
