Beautiful Cottage

We spent one week in the cottage and really enjoyed it. Every morning we made cup of coffee and just enjoyed the view counting the animals we saw. You really get to relax there and you have everything you need. We can warmly recommend the cottage.

Fantastic time at cottage in beautiful surroundings

We had a fantastic week at the cottage. There was so much space and plenty of facilities. The location is spectacular views from every window. My son particularly enjoyed the friendly donkey who delighted us with his visits. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage and would love to stay again one day x

Lovely stay

We had a love stay on the outskirts of Oughterard! The property was quiet and remote and very enjoyable! Only thing I would say is we were a little confused on how to access the property at first because the address given stops at the cottages. I would also have liked the property manager to be more responsive, but the local contact was very helpful! Over all, this stay was great and will be incredibly memorable for a long time!

Really nice cottage in the remote are of the Irish West

A really nice little cottage where you can either relax or use it as a base to explore Galway county, spend time at the atlantic ocean, walk the surrounding mountains or visit nice cities or towns such as Galway or Clifden. The cottage is equipped with everything you need and has a really nice both traditional and modern style. We couldn´t ask for more :-)

Very nice with a few surprises and hiccups

great with several worthwhile destinations within an hour's drive. "ocean view" in the listing obviously mistranslated obvious though, if you look at the map. No Wi-fi but a small portion of the kitchen has mobile data coverage. Bring a wifi router. Host only speaks frech. Lovely neighbourhood though. Very nice place if you're up for a moderate amount of adventure regarding the house.

A great week!

We had a great stay in Oughterard/Leam. The house was very comfortable, well equipped and spacious. Christian, the owner, provided answers to our queries in a very timely manner. The location was great to explore the Connemara region as well as Galway. We highly recommend this house. Thank you Christian for sharing your house with us!

Nice, private cottage

Cottage is nicely decorated and spacious. Kitchen was well equipped. Very quiet, private location. The nearby village of Oughterard is lovely, with beautiful walks. The location is a good hub for adventures in the area. We really enjoyed our stay. * Although the cottage is located on 9 acres, the cottage itself is fenced in tightly and the property is not accessible (and heavily populated with livestock).

Schöner Aufenthalt

Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt in Connemara. Das Haus liegt ruhig und abgelegen mitten in wunderschöner Natur und durch das schöne große Fenster konnte man auch gern mal eine Weile den Wolken, Regen und Wind zuschauen und dem Hasen, der täglich vorbeikam...Leider muss ich ein paar Abzüge machen: es gibt im Haus kein Trinkwasser, was schön gewesen wäre vorher zu wissen und es gab nur Unterlagen zum Haus auf französisch. Auch WLAN war nicht vorhanden obwohl es im Inserat steht ( was uns Erwachsene nicht so sehr gestört hat, aber unsere Tochter nicht so toll fand) und auch bei der Sauberkeit musste ich leider einen Stern weniger geben ( habe zum Beispiel erstmal das tolle große Fenster in Sitzhöhe putzen müssen, weil es noch Abdrücke von Kleinkindern hatte). Trotzdem, tolles Haus und schöne Umgebung!

beau gite dans le connemara profond

dommage, le temps était vraiment moche, bien qu' en Irlande, il aurait été souhaitable que nous puissions disposer d'une cafetière électrique, de plus, une notice explicative aurait été utile, la confiance du propriétaire est indéniable mais peut-être trop modeste, sinon, le site est parfait. Gite très intéressant, voisins sympas.

Heel leuk vakantiehuisje

Wij hadden een geweldige vakantie. Het huisje is leuk en heeft een goede ligging om de buurt te verkennen. Voor ons stadsmensen ook een leuke ervaring zijn alle dieren in de omgeving en het openen/ sluiten van de hekken om schapen binnen en/of buiten te houden. Wij hebben genoten van deze buren en het prachtige uitzicht.

Beau sejour dans un environnement naturel

Cottage très charmant avec une belle baie vitrée. Se situe dans un environnement très agréable avec plein de bêtes autour. Dans l'équipement il y a plusieurs choses qui sont à remplacer. L'appareil pour l'eau chaude de la douche a été rapidement remplacé, mais le lave-vaisselle et le lave-linge n'était pas en état de fonctionnement. On garde toutefois un bon souvenir du cottage.
