Luxury, calm and pleasure at Anam Sámh, Galway.

If you look for a quiet and beautiful place with a breathtaking view, this is the place to be. Very nice house full equipped for cooking. The perfect location for visiting Connemara or just fishing and angling.

Beautiful, secluded, roomy, and comfortable.

This property was perfect for me and my extended family. Both granddaughters were over the moon at having a room with a balcony overlooking the lake. All four adults found the bedrooms, community areas and kitchen to be a great value with enough space for everyone to find seclusion when needed, and ample room for group meals and other activities. We loved the area and quickly found our way throughout the region and many of the area attractions. This house is a pure gem and we will remember our stay for decades to come.

Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!

We loved it! We had plenty of room with 6 people and lovely views of the lake. It was an adventure getting to the house, but once we arrived we loved it! It was very cozy and we felt like we were at home. I would highly recommend it to friends and would stay there again.

Beautiful and Quiet Yet Easy Access to Galway and Connemara

Our family of four had a vacation booked in the area exactly two years ago at another property, and then COVID intervened in our plans. Fortunately, when travel opened up this property was available. As other reviews indicate, a great location and views, easy check-in and check-out, comfortable, and more than enough room to stretch out. We didn't have trouble finding the house, and the only negative was wondering if we had figured out the Irish recycling requirements!

The ideal base for our Connemara adventure. We had a great time exploring the region. Last there as a child I had no recollection of the stunning scenery either along the coast or amongst the mountain passes. We had some lovely days and I even managed a swim in sea near Roundstone. This home on the shores of Lough Corrib was the ideal base, spacious, well equipped and comfortable. Nearby Oughterard is an attractive little town having all we needed in terms of provisions. Galway has grown enormously since I was a child and is to be avoided as the traffic is a nightmare. There are quite a few attractions in Galway City so definitely worth visiting avoid peak times and prepared for delays.

Stunning location

Absolutely stunning location. Was great sitting in sun room every night looking out at loch corrib. Plenty of space for our group of 8 and 2 dogs. Could do with a bit of an update inside. Outside maintenance needing done. Windows very dirty. Road into property very overgrown and hard to find. No welcome pack. Dogs loved running about large garden. Overall positive experience but could have been better given price

Schöne Lage am See

Sehr ruhig und schön gelegen. Perfekt zum Erholen. Sehr geräumiges Haus mit vielen Ecken zum Entspannen. Alles was man für einen Urlaub braucht ist vorhanden. Die Sauberkeit könnte aber deutlich besser sein. Außerdem ist an vielen Stellen Renovierungsbedarf, z.B. dringend das kleine Bad im Erdgeschoss. Einiges ist auch defekt. Schön wäre auch ein gemähter Rasen, z.B. zum Ballspielen. Am See gibt es eine Möglichkeit zum Baden. Jedoch liegen am und im Wasser mehrere alte Reifen. Insgesamt macht die schöne Lage aber Vieles wett. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

Omschrijving

Mooie ruime woning; interieur iets gedateerd; te weinig activiteiten in onmiddellijke omgeving; gebruik wagen is noodzakelijk. Rustig gelegen, mooi uitzicht.Niet erg proper; zeker niet de kasten in de keuken ; alsook niet het te gebruikere eetgerief. Aanrekening van 150 euro voor onderhoud is duidelijk teveel.Poetsdame was nog vollop bezig toen we arriveerden; is nog blijven werken tot 1³8u30.

Traumhafte Lage, großes, sehr gut ausgestattetes Haus

Wir konnten uns prima entspannen. Das Haus ist großzügig gestaltet und mit vielen schönen Ecken gut durchdacht. Die Ausstattung ist exzellent, es hat wirklich an gar nichts gefehlt. Die direkte See lage garantiert Erholung. In Punkto Sauberkeit darf man allerdings nicht kritisch sein, hier ist Luft nach oben.

Und am Ende der Straße steht ein Haus am See...

Wir reisten mit 4 Personen und 4 Generationen. Die Lage des Hauses war traumhaft schön, die Küchenausstattung hervorragend (wir konnten alles inkl der Gewürze benutzen), die Einkaufsmöglichkeit (ca 15 Minuten mit dem Auto) ließ keine Wünsche offen. Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber klappte nach anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten (das lag aber sehr wahrscheinlich an dem Postfach von fewo) sehr gut und unsere Gastgeber waren für uns ansprechbar. Wie wir im umgekehrten Fall für sie auch. Wir haben die Ruhe und den Blick auf den See sehr genossen und bedanken uns für die Möglichkeit unseren Urlaub dort beginnen zu können.

Not what we expected

The view is fabulous. The bathroom tiles are really nice. The sheets are left on the beds for you to make. The water was not even warm for evening showers, where as morning was better. No hot water for dishes.All sheets need to be replaced. Bees in upstairs room, broken light in master bath, very complex house systems to figure out. Home has well water. Location is somewhat remote but beautiful.

Lovely Location

We had a brilliant time in a really comfortable lakeside house which had everything we needed. The location is great if you enjoy kayaking or paddle boards, but is only 30 mins from Galway and well place for Connemara, and the Aran islands all of which we enjoyed. We couldn't book great Irish weather every day but it didn't matter and we wish we could have stayed for longer.

A lovely getaway place

on the shores of the lake surrounded by beautiful countryside and views over the lake. We swam and paddle boarded on the lake, and managed to get over to the other side from Knockferry. Plenty of room in the house for teenagers, although it was slightly restricted to walk anywhere. We found it very relaxing

Spacious, comfortable house in an outstanding location on Lough Corrib

Beautiful , well equipped house in a perfect location for visiting Connemara, Galway etc. Lots of information on things to do and detailed explanations of how to use all the equipment in the house. A perfect place to get away from it all. And, of course, if you like fishing, the house is on the shore of one of Ireland's most famous trout lakes.
