We just returned from a long weekend in Oughterard at the Lakeside Cottage. We simply couldn't believe it when we arrived - the best location of any self catering accommodation we have ever had! The spacious house is fronted by a long sweeping lawn that looks out over the lough - simply breathtaking. The children absolutely loved it and spent most of their time outside - exploring and running back and forth from the small pier at the end of the garden. Large windows look out on the view from all aspects, perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine. The house itself surpasses the photos on the website - huge and so well equipped with everything we could need! We both cycled and walked into Oughterard for pub lunches and a dander round the shops. We had a fantastic (but hectic) day in Galway and were so happy to return the the peace and tranquillity of our lakeside cottage. We are already planning our next visit! Thanks to the lovely Janet for helping us plan our West Coast break!

We stayed in the beautiful Oughterard for a week in February. This holiday home suited our family perfectly. The home has a lovely modern kitchen which had everything we needed We found the home to be very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The views of the lake are outstanding, such a relaxing and peaceful spot. We will defiantly return to Oughterard and highly recommend this holiday home.

We've stayed in this property on a couple of occasions over the last 2 years, both with friends and with our children. It is ideally located - overlooking the lake which is so peaceful and it's just a short walk into town where the pubs and restaurants are great. I would especially recommend The Boat Inn. The refurbishment looks great. can't wait to go back this year again.

This is a fantastic location for a big family get together, with plenty of space for the kids to run about. The breathtaking scenery and peaceful location makes for a perfect getaway and with Galway City just down the road there is always something to do! We made some wonderful family memories in lakeside cottage and will definitely be booking again for next year!

I've just come back from a short stay in this idyllic hideaway just outside the beautiful village of Oughterard. We have always stayed in Galway city itself but this accommodation allowed us to have a totally relaxing and very spacious place to stay in, with the choice of Galway city on the one side and Connemara on the other. The accommodation itself is a perfect for home from home experience but with the beauty of lough Corrib literally on your doorstep, the views are just amazing! We had a gorgeous holiday in this house and look forward to returning again very soon.

Stayed here recently with a group of friends for a very relaxing and hugely enjoyable break. Accommodation superb with the most wonderful views over Lough Corrib to the Maam Turk mountains. Just 5 Minutes from Oughterard with it's bars and restaurants - definitely recommend the Boat House for chowder and Guinness at lunch time. As both a keen golfer and fisherman I was delighted to find that we had a superb golf course practically next door and world class trout fishing at the bottom of the garden - shame I had left the rods at home but definitely next time. I can't vouch for all the beds but the master bedroom king size is one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in, perfect after long walks in the Maam Turks and late nights in Keoghs and the Boat Inn. Will definitely be back - and soon.
