Summary: The ideal base for our Connemara adventure. We had a great time exploring the region. Last there as a child I had no recollection of the stunning scenery either along the coast or amongst the mountain passes. We had some lovely days and I even managed a swim in sea near Roundstone. This home on the shores of Lough Corrib was the ideal base, spacious, well equipped and comfortable. Nearby Oughterard is an attractive little town having all we needed in terms of provisions. Galway has grown enormously since I was a child and is to be avoided as the traffic is a nightmare. There are quite a few attractions in Galway City so definitely worth visiting avoid peak times and prepared for delays.

Summary: This property was perfect for me and my extended family. Both granddaughters were over the moon at having a room with a balcony overlooking the lake. All four adults found the bedrooms, community areas and kitchen to be a great value with enough space for everyone to find seclusion when needed, and ample room for group meals and other activities. We loved the area and quickly found our way throughout the region and many of the area attractions. This house is a pure gem and we will remember our stay for decades to come.

Summary: If you look for a quiet and beautiful place with a breathtaking view, this is the place to be. Very nice house full equipped for cooking. The perfect location for visiting Connemara or just fishing and angling.

Summary: The view is fabulous. The bathroom tiles are really nice. The sheets are left on the beds for you to make. The water was not even warm for evening showers, where as morning was better. No hot water for dishes.All sheets need to be replaced. Bees in upstairs room, broken light in master bath, very complex house systems to figure out. Home has well water. Location is somewhat remote but beautiful.

Summary: We had a brilliant time in a really comfortable lakeside house which had everything we needed. The location is great if you enjoy kayaking or paddle boards, but is only 30 mins from Galway and well place for Connemara, and the Aran islands all of which we enjoyed. We couldn't book great Irish weather every day but it didn't matter and we wish we could have stayed for longer.
Ruth W. Aug 28, 2022 06:00:27 AM
Summary: on the shores of the lake surrounded by beautiful countryside and views over the lake. We swam and paddle boarded on the lake, and managed to get over to the other side from Knockferry. Plenty of room in the house for teenagers, although it was slightly restricted to walk anywhere. We found it very relaxing
Susan M. Jul 10, 2022 06:00:04 AM
Summary: Absolutely stunning location. Was great sitting in sun room every night looking out at loch corrib. Plenty of space for our group of 8 and 2 dogs. Could do with a bit of an update inside. Outside maintenance needing done. Windows very dirty. Road into property very overgrown and hard to find. No welcome pack. Dogs loved running about large garden. Overall positive experience but could have been better given price
David L. Jun 16, 2022 07:02:50 PM
Summary: Beautiful , well equipped house in a perfect location for visiting Connemara, Galway etc. Lots of information on things to do and detailed explanations of how to use all the equipment in the house. A perfect place to get away from it all. And, of course, if you like fishing, the house is on the shore of one of Ireland's most famous trout lakes.
John K. May 30, 2022 04:04:21 PM
Summary: Our family of four had a vacation booked in the area exactly two years ago at another property, and then COVID intervened in our plans. Fortunately, when travel opened up this property was available. As other reviews indicate, a great location and views, easy check-in and check-out, comfortable, and more than enough room to stretch out. We didn't have trouble finding the house, and the only negative was wondering if we had figured out the Irish recycling requirements!
Noirin C. Oct 20, 2021 05:03:12 PM
Summary: I enjoyed my week down at Carrowmoreknock. I live in Dublin and have family in another part of Galway and was great to get to see them. I have two young dogs and it was great for them to have the freedom around the grounds and the Lough. It was also great to have family over.
