Very Happy and a lovely base to explore from.

Cottage is lovely and easy to find the local village is walkable and has everything you would want with shops and great restaurants (reasonable prices too) the only small thing we would suggest they improve is the lighting in the kitchen which is really insufficient if you want to cook in the evening.

Dear Andrew Thank you for your lovely review and feedback on your stay in Cottage 345 Oughterard. Yes, you are correct in regards to kitchen lighting.

Perfect with kids

This house is set up perfectly for adults traveling with their school aged kids. Separate lounges with multiple doors in between allow for privacy and quiet. The only slight discomfort is the heat pump/sump pump that runs often but at uneven intervals. You soon learn to tune it out, but it can be distracting at first. Beautiful and comfortable home.
