Fairytale cottage in a beautiful setting. Our hosts, Finola and John, were welcoming and responsive to any questions we had. The full kitchen and parlor updates are wonderful. We would definitely return to this serene setting.

We were thrilled with Gate Cottage. Serene pastoral surroundings, excellent amenities and charming, welcoming hosts. Having spent 5 nights here, we were sad to leave. It was a perfect base for exploring County Galway.

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.

Our Stay at Caherlistrane
We loved the cottage and the amenities. Fiona was wonderful. This would be a perfect location for short or extended get away, but is a little farther out of Galway than we expected. Finding our way home in the dark on the narrow unlit roads was a little challenging.
