The b&b sits next to a river and is also secluded. Right next to the driveway is a path that's only a short walk into town to grab dinner or to shop. The house, property, and owners are amazing.

Family run wonderful lodge. Although a little ran down, had character, well kept surrounding gardens and easy access to restaurants and pubs. Personal care and attention by the owners, and great breakfasts every morning means I would recommend it for short stays.

Peaceful setting,great hosts
Wonderful B & B. Hosts exceptionally helpful and welcoming. Went to great lengths to help us to plan our time in the area/restaurants etc. Made us feel very much at home in their lovely,spacious home. At the same time,we felt that we had our privacy. Breakfast was amazing. Located in the countryside but very close to the lovely small town. Good restaurants etc. Would love to go back.

Beautiful, peacefully property immaculately clean. Lovely warm hosts and fantastic breakfast. Only a short country walk to local village with nice restaurants. We especially loved the games room. We didn't know it is also an angling centre so will make time for boating and fishing next time. It was a great gateway for exploring Connemara.

The B&B is close to a cute town with good food - there is also a fantastic walking path that is along the river to allow you to quickly get down town. The grounds are cute and lots of walking/exploration near by along the river and lake. The staff was super friendly and breakfast was delicious. Definitely recommend

Great host and location
My husband and I stayed here for four nights. We had a clean triple room, which gave us enough space. The bed was the most comfortable that I slept in on our entire trip. The shower was also the best. There are two comfortable sitting areas in different parts of the house. Deirdre, the hostess, makes a good breakfast and had lots of local information to share. A footbridge over the small river adjacent to the property makes it an easy walk into town. We ate at a different place each night: Breathnach's Bar, Camp Street Café, The Boat Inn, and Powers Thatch Pub. Each was different, but all the food was good. This town is a much better base for exploring Connemara than staying in Galway City. We also were able to visit Cong and do a lot of walking there. If you are interested in fishing (we aren't), the Camillaun Lodge would be perfect since it has access to Lough Corrib and specializes as a fishing lodge.

Feels like home, yet private
This was our very first B and B experience. Much to our delight all trepidations were for naught. What a bedraggled sight were we to behold having gotten lost and arriving after dark. Still Deidre, Greg and Spud made us feel right at home as they welcomed us into their lovely abode. Spud was amusingly vocal as he decided we were friend not foe. Deidre, the consummate hostess suggested we settle in then provided us with tea and cakes which we enjoyed immensely. After a good night's sleep we enjoyed a traditional Irish breakfast and fresh coffee.

Cozy lodge with hot tub and Irish breakfast
We stayed for two nights at the BnB. The breakfasts were great. The hot tub was relaxing. The shower was hot and the room was very clean. The walk to town through the back road had a cozy small town feel. It is close to wonderful pubs, restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed exploring Connemara from this location. We recommend a stay here.

Would go back!
We had an incredible stay and the hospitality was unbeatable. The room size was very generous as was the en suite. The house itself was very well fitted with a variety of options for entertainment in tha case that you are unfortunate enough to have very bad weather (as we did one day during our stay). A short walk to town and a close enough drive to Galway. I would certainly recommend the pancakes and full Irish breakfast! Thanks to the owners for such a warm and inviting atmosphere!

Peaceful, calm and welcoming
Deirdre welcomed us along with their pet, Spuddie. We had the first floor room facing the garden. It is a beautiful view! Her husband is a fishing expert and you can hire a boat and go out to the Lough to catch some dinner. After we checked in to our room, we walked along a path into the village. We went to the Greenway Café. Oh my word! you have to go there and eat their Salmon chowder. Best chowder I have ever had. Flaherty's pub is just around the corner and we had a great time watching the all-Ireland playoff there. We had two wonderful Irish breakfasts the two mornings we were there. I would certainly go back again for a longer stay. I forgot to mention that they have a hot tub too.

This B&B is close to village where there is a choice of cafes, pubs and grocery shops. Oughterard is a good location to explore the local area and day trips to the Connemarra National Park for walks, Westport for bike riding and Arran Islands.
