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.

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

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

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!

week's getaway
I enjoyed my week down at Carrowmoreknock. I live in Dublin and have family in another part of Galway and was great to get to see them. I have two young dogs and it was great for them to have the freedom around the grounds and the Lough. It was also great to have family over.

Wonderful location and property
The property has excellent facilties and a beautiful view of the lake and surrounding area. It has a great heating system also in case of chilly days. Its extremely homely and the simplest check in/check out system I've seen. Support is on hand whenever needed. I would absolutely stay here again. Perfect accommodation.
