Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay at the cottage. A peaceful location within walking distance of the village. Some lovely touches from Joe and Carmel including fresh baked scones, bowl of fruit, fresh flowers and a food starter pack. A great base for exploring Galway, Connemara and Mayo. We hope to return soon and have no hesitation in recommending this property to others.

My wife and I loved our stay at this charming country cottage on the edge of Oughterard. The cottage itself was very clean, well appointed and maintained. We stayed 3 days and thoroughly enjoyed our nightly visits to the Powers Pub in the village. Having the ability to do laundry was extremely helpful as well. We would recommend it to anyone!

We loved or stay in this idealistic cottage. It was exactly what my husband and I needed and wanted after a busy holiday sightseeing in Europe. Joe and Carmel were so welcoming and gracious hosts. Their dogs Jake and Ted kept us company when we were missing our dogs back home. The town was a close walk. We were able to find many places to go hiking and explore. Though it was the best just having a place to relax, have a few romantic meals together and get our laundry done before heading home to the States.

Loved our stay in Oughterard at this little cottage. Host greeted us on arrival and showed us around as did the 2 very friendly doggies. Host gave us very good tips for our day the following day and we had the best time we went to dogs bay and walked along the beach, Connemara national park and climbed Diamond Hill then a quick look at Kylemore Abbey, so great local tips. The cottage was warm and inviting ( the heating was programmed which was lovely as some places turn it off in summer) very quiet and the huge bed was one of the most comfortable we’ve slept in. There was some lovely scones awaiting us when we arrived it was a great 2 night stay the whole area is so beautiful. Would recommend staying here.

Everything corresponded to description and even more. Owners are kind and helpful. Property was cleaned and cosy. Furnished with such a fine taste. We arrived late and they waited for us. We found scones and jam with butter and milk in the fridge for the breakfast of the following day and the lights were on to welcome us. We had a wonderful experience and we definitely recommend this little cottage.

My sister and I stayed at this cottage for three nights and we absolutely loved it!! It was comfortable and cozy, all the amenities we needed, and the MOST delicious scones hand made by Carmel. We also got to visit with the animals on the property, Ted and Jake (the dogs… so sweet and well behaved!) and every time we went outside, Hilly the Horse came to greet us. We were just a driveway and a waterfall away from town, tucked away in this perfect little countryside setting. Joe also gave us recommendations on an itinerary for a day trip out to Connemara National Park and we enjoyed it so much …. Thank you!!

The host, Carmel, couldn't have been nicer. She helped us figure out which bus to take into town and picked us up from the bus station. It was a fairly short walk to the home, but we had a lot of luggage and very much appreciated the lift. The home is lovely. The dogs and horses make it even more welcoming and enjoyable. Carmel left fresh blueberry scones and butter. The master bedroom has windows that open to a gorgeous view. We also enjoyed the local restaurants and shops. It's a great place to visit if you want to get away from the busy city and see some lovely countryside, but still have access to a town.

Clean, comfortable, cosy cottage, everything we could need for an active but ageing couple. Joe friendly, considerate and always available with useful advice on the area. Animals a bonus: 2 friendly dogs, a couple of cute kittens and Hilly, the Connemara pony who always came for a stroke. We had a wonderful week. Thank you Joe & Carmel. We had some mixed weather but generally it improved through the week. Loved the Connemara area, a comfortable drive from the cottage. A day on the Aran islands, riding on hired e-bikes- fantastic experience. Also explored the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren. Galway takes some driving around but it was worth it. We can recommend the cottage and the area.
