Our family had a great stay in Portacarron. The house is very well equipped, spotlessly clean and spacious. We made great use of the pool table and outdoor area. The house is a very short drive to Oughterard, a town with several nice bars & restaurants. There is also a bus service if you fancied a day trip to Galway. The location is also great for scenic drives around Connemara. Closer to home, I would recommend a trip to Brigid's Garden and Aughnanure Castle. I would have no hesitation in recommending Brenda's house, it was perfect for our family reunion.
