This cottage is a comforting retreat in the midst of a magnificent and wild landscape. From coastal towns on the bay, through towering mountains, across sunken bogs to the shores of Killary, it's easy to lose yourself in the staggering beauty of the Connemara. The cottage fits perfectly into that, while being within easy reach of the conveniences and attractions of nearby communities. Oughterard and even Maigh Cuilinn are obvious stops for groceries on the way in for those coming through Galway. Noteworthy is Powers Pub in Oughterard, which has ties to the cottage and can keep you well fed and happy at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Whether you want to immerse yourself in the delightful culture of the area by way of local villages and their shops, pubs, and most importantly, people; or you want to roam picturesque sites like Kylemore Abbey; or maybe it's outdoor adventures like hiking, biking, or fishing...all of these are available at your doorstep if you'll have this as your home away from home. We loved our days here and look forward to the time when we find our way back.
