Wonderful location, lovely little cottage, great home base for exploring Galway

We loved the quiet, private setting surrounded by trees and birdsong. We walked around the Lisdonagh Estate morning and evening, fed the donkey and the horses as we walked through the paddock to the lake.

Lovely quiet spot. Beautifully prepared and perfect for a quiet week.

The space is exactly as described with a newer kitchen. It is a little further for points of interest we wanted but it forced us to visit some areas that we would not have otherwise done. Connemara is with easy reach but it is a full day trip out to Clifdon and the Atlantic Way so plan accordingly. Galway is 30 minutes. Cliffs Mohar 90 mins each way so we came back to Dublin via the cliffs and Limerick. We would recommend this location. The host was always quick to respond to messages and very helpful. Five Stars easily.

Charming cottage in beautiful setting

This tiny cottage offered a cozy retreat for two of us at the end of long days touring around the Galway area. The beds were comfy, the evenings in front of the fire were great and the modern kitchen offered everything we needed. I wouldn’t recommend the cottage for any more than two adults and maybe a young child though. Although 30 minutes away from Galway, the drive to and from was through narrow lanes and was an adventure. Across the road at the main estate we watched horses in the pasture, and we were surrounded by really beautiful trees. If you’re looking to be in the midst of activity with walkable pubs, this wouldn't be your place. Make sure to do a day trip to the Cliffs of Mohr and take the Doolin ferry ride to see them from the sea. Finola was a very responsive host, making sure we were comfortable.

Fantastic stay!

I cannot say enough after the Gate Lodge and Finola! The home was quaint and a lovely setting in the rolling hills of Ireland. The kitchen was modern and spacious. We loved the wood stove in the living room! Everything was clean and well-kept. Finola was fantastic to work and communicate with! A perfect spot!

Liebevoll eingerichtetes Gate Lodge

Schon bei der Anfahrt wird klar: die Atmosphäre auf den Fotos rund ums Gate Lodge stimmen mit der Realität überein. Wir wurden sehr herzlich begrüßt, bekamen die wichtigsten Infos übers Haus und Garten mitgeteilt. Im Haus liegt auch ein Infoheft, incl. Tipps fürs Umland. Die frisch renovierte Küche wurde mit einem Wildblumenstrauß noch wohnlicher. Sie besitzt einen Induktionsherd, Backofen, Spülmaschine und Waschmaschine mit integriertem Trockner. Natürlich auch Kühlschrank (mit Gefrierfach), Toaster, Mikrowelle. Das gesamte Lodge ist liebevoll stilecht eingerichtet. Das Bad mit Außenfenster und den schwarz-weißen Kacheln geräumig. Zu den Gut gehört ein See für den man sich kostenlos Kajaks ausleihen kann. Etwas abenteuerlich, da der Anlegeplatz von Schilfverdeckt wird, aber auch für uns ungeübten eine spaßige Angelegenheit. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und werden uns bei unserem nächsten Irlandbesuch schon darauf freuen. Kurzum: sehr zu empfehlen. PS: Danke liebe Finola für deine Unterstützung bei all den kleinen Pannen die uns widerfahren sind. Liebe Grüße auch an deine herzlich offene Familie

Great little country cottage

My daughter and I were on a short tour of Ireland and wanted something more “old Ireland” like this traditional yet very updated cottage. The place was perfect. It has new furniture, good beds and a brand new kitchen. We enjoyed walking in the evening on the quiet little lane of the cottage strolling past fields of sheep etc. We will be back.

Gate Lodge ~ A piece of heaven!

This little cottage was just what we pictured an Irish cottage to be like. Delightful from the second we entered through the old half door. The weather outside was stormy but the lodge was toasty warm and inviting. The surroundings were picturesque! Which we could have stayed longer.
