The owners of the property met us to give us the tour! The place was absolutely amazing and had everything we needed! The kitchen was the place we congregated, even though there were plenty of other beautiful spaces to relax. The view of Lough Corrib was calm and inspiring!

The house was awesome! It has many technological innovations but also has some great rustic touches such as a great fireplace and a huge tub! We enjoyed the sauna room and took many beautiful pictures of the surrounding countryside.
