Lovely 3 Bedroom Bungalow on the shore of Lough Corrib (Oughterard.)

Beautiful lake shore bungalow, on a private peninsula with its own quiet access only road. The house is an archiect designed mid century modern house built in 1964 and recently lovingly restored and still in the same family. Five minute drive from the town of Oughterard (Oughterard is on the N59 from Galway towards Clifden), 26 km from Galway city.

The house has 3 doule bedrooms with flexible accommodation in two (twin or double beds). It has 2 bathrooms, Master en-suite, Grohe power rain showers in both bathrooms, enormous open plan sitting and dining room with large copper hood fire place and fabulous views over the lake, well appointed kitchen with large SMEG fridge freezer, separate reception room, with second 8 seater dining table for more casual family meals. Large garden with direct access to lake shore front and back and private harbour for exclusive use by guests to the rear.. incredible views over the lake, peaceful and tranquil getaway.

Unfortunately due to the recent tripling of electricity rates & due to the fact that the house heating runs 14kw of radiators, we have had to introduce an additional charge for the electrics. Although it is a large increase it only partially defrays the increased cost, We will of course reduce or remove this as & when the rates come back down. Or indeed look to invest in a heat pump or solar solution if & when possible.

Charming Irish House in Oughterard
During our recent family trip to Ireland, we had the pleasure of staying in a delightful traditional Irish house in the quaint village of Oughterard, nestled along the serene shores of Lake Corrib. This charming house boasted a beautiful fireplace which became the centerpiece of our evenings, providing a cozy, warm atmosphere that enhanced our experience. Oughterard proved to be a hidden gem, with its lovely town and incredibly welcoming locals who made us feel right at home. Do yourself a favor and do your souvenir shopping at John P. Keogh & Sons Irish Gifts and Crafts! Then have a pint at Powers Thatch and if you are lucky enough to be in town on a Sunday, make sure to get there early for the traditional Irish music. The house itself came equipped with all the comforts necessary for a family, ensuring a seamless and comfortable stay. Both the host and the caretaker were exceptionally responsive and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of our stay was managed perfectly. We are immensely grateful for their hospitality and the memorable experience they helped create. We eagerly anticipate our return to this beautiful spot in Ireland. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine taste of Irish charm!

Gorgeous tranquility on the lake
Absolutely loved our week at the house on the peninsula by Lough Corrib! The house offered everything we needed for our family of 4. The property is beautiful inside and out, and the views of the lake through the back windows are breathtaking. A 5 minute drive from the property puts you in the charming town of Oughterard which offered several options for dining, grocery, butcher shops, and cafes. The property manager Mike was fantastic and checked in regularly via messaging to see how we were. We would (and likely will!) absolutely visit again!

Beautiful views
This home is situated on a peninsula that allows views of water from both sides of the home. The wide windows give opportunity to take it in as well as the comfortable seating to sit and read. The rustic home felt cozy with the working fire place and we were provided ample supplies to keep a fire each evening. While there, it was very cold and were glad for it. A short ride to the village and some nice walks there can be found. A great spot to then venture around the area.

* Great, but …
* GREAT location, beautiful views and a really great property manager! That stated, the property is run down and terribly in need of repair and updating. Overall, we had a wonderful time with family but would’ve been more comfortable at a hotel in town. It’s certainly a place we’d want to come back to if the property was cleaned up and updated. Thanks to Mike for making our stay as comfortable as he could … he alone gets 5 stars for bringing us firewood and answering all our questions!

Probably the most beautiful location you could hope for!
The location of this property is stunning. Was hypnotised by the view from the back of the house the entire stay. Oughterard is also a great location, close to both Galway and the outstanding Connemara. Only downsides were the amount of spiders, spider nests across all the windows. A jet wash or brooming could have solved quite easily prior to arrival. Also they were joined by millipedes in the house. It feels it needs a bit of TLC on the inside - flooring in en-suite and kitchen. Would highly recommend if these small things could be taken of. Both Nick & Mike very responsive

Wonderful
What a gorgeous setting on Lough Carrib! We enjoyed stunning sunsets over the famous lake. The house is spacious and wonderfully equipped. It is close to the friendly little town Oughterard and only 25 kms away is Galway. The house is a great base from which to explore western Ireland. The owner and caretaker were extremely helpful.
