About this property

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.

Lovely New Year Retreat
After a whirlwind tour of Dublin and Cork we found a refreshing change of pace at this bungalow outside of Oughterard to ring in the New Year. There was plenty of room for the five of us and it made a great landing spot for day trips to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway.

The property was as advertised and very secluded on a peninsula. The lake is quite with great sunrise and sunsets. Mike (property manager) was easy to get ahold of and pleasant to work with.

Cozy quiet cottage
The cottage was as expected. It was quaint and quiet. The scenery was beautiful. Mike met us at the property and went through everything we needed to know. He followed up later to make sure we didn’t need anything. He was quick to return our call when we had a question. The beds were comfortable and the house had everything we needed. It’s very peaceful.

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.

Stunning lakeside architectural gem
Had an amazing experience at this home on the shores of Lough Corrib. My wife and I really enjoyed the views and peacefulness of the property as well as its convenience to many local historic sites, nature walks and great food options at nearby restaurants. The team who oversaw our stay were great - Nick and Mike were very attentive and helpful with every aspect of our experience . We will definitely return for hopefully an even longer stay.

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.

Idyllic Fishing Lodge
This is a spacious, modern fishing lodge set right on the edge of Lough Corrib, with stunning views onto the Lake. It is truly peaceful, so ideal for those either wishing to fish, or simply to have a complete get-away. It is very private with no-one overlooking you. If you are looking for peace, tranquillity, space and immersion in nature, this may well be the place for you.

Fantastic location
This property is situated on a quiet road to nowhere with an absolutely stunning views over Lough Corrib. The property itself has bags of character, and whilst it could do with a bit of TLC is perfect for a relaxing break away, the bed was super comfy which ensured a good night's sleep. Owner and caretaker Mike were a real pleasure to deal with and I hope we can come back again next year. Thanks for having us.
