"My wife and I spent a month at Anam-Samh (Tranquil Soul) this past August. The locale is beautiful and remote. We spent each morning looking out over the lake watching the sky and water change with weather and time of day - always wonderful. The house is well equipped for those who cook; many pots and pans as well as spices, etc. My brother and his wife joined us for a week and a half and it easily can accommodate more people. The home is equally near to MoyCullen (SuperValu and Lidl for groceries and many shops) or Oughterard - also good for restaurants and shops. Galway is 30 minutes away and we went there a few times. Other attractions easily driven to are a driving trip around the lake; a trip to Cong and Ashford Castle (where the movie Quiet Man was filmed); Cliffs of Moher, the Burren; Aran Islands; driving trips around many bogs; excellent seafood and dining every where but very notable at OGradys on the Pier in Bearna; Moran's Oyster Cottage; Kirwan's in Galway and Powers Thatch Restaurant/Bar in Oughterard; great meal at Pullmans (one star Michelin nearby); a boat cruise on Lough Corrib via Corrib Cruises; flying hawks at Ireland's School of Falconry; walking at Rosscahill Woods Trail, to Carrowmoreknock ferry, Knockmore ferry and so many other rural areas. We loved our time in Ireland and the home was a great place for us."
