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.

Beautiful winter break location
We enjoyed secluded and peacful New Years break. The house is in a fantastic location, with plenty of walking and cycling to keep us occupied. Mike, the caretaker, met us on arrival, and was extremely helpful. Highly recommended.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Magical location
Can't recommend enough. Beautiful location on Lough Corrib. We had a family reunion and the house had everything we needed for big dinners on the shores of the lough or in inclimate weather, eating indoors. Oughterard is very easy to get to from Galway on a new road that makes the journey quick. (about 30 mins) The town itself is lovely with nice food options for eating out. The interior of the house is very comfy. Especially the beds. The furniture is a bit dated but did not present any problems or deter from experience. We will definately be back.

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.

Location, location, location!
If you like great views of the countryside including lake and mountains you'll love this property, with the lake almost on your doorstep front and back. I couldn't give the full five stars because a couple of maintenace problems arose during the stay as can happen anywhere but both the property owner and property manager went out of their way to deal with them.

Unique Cottage in Stunning Location!
You can’t get closer to Lough Corrib without actually being on it! The panoramic views from this lodge are beautiful and it has really interesting original furniture, light fittings etc. The big open fire adds to the ambience and Mike the manager was very helpful. Great for fishers but also for others who want to relax by the lake. We will come back to this unique cottage.

Stylish Mid-Century Modern villa with wonderful view
We loved our 2 week stay in this stylish 1960s Mid-Century Modern bungalow with Lough Corrib at the end of the garden. The building is very original, retaining period features with some sympathetic updating in kitchen and bathrooms. The views out over the lough are mesmerising. Building manager Mike could not have been more helpful. The villa was constructed as a fishing lodge and that is the theme that runs through the building. It is an ideal base for touring the picturesque Galway and Connemara region. I'd just suggest that the hardwood (teak?) window frames and other exterior woodwork get remedial attention soon to sharpen up the outward appearance of the building and prevent deterioration of this period gem.

We spent a full week at Nick’s place. The house, on the lake, is amazing. The view, the fireplace, the town nearby, everything was superbe The area offers the best scenic views ever! We came here to run the Connemarathon and truly had a beautiful experience. The owner of the j’house is very responsive and try is best to make sure you are always comfortable.

Lovely house with stunning views
Lovely house with a vintage feeling. The living room (and 2 bedrooms) have bay windows with amazing view of the lake. Be prepared for stunning sunsets! And so practical to watch our teenager while he was fishing from the pier. House was very well equipped. Neighborhood is very quiet and friendly. The village is 5mn away with many shops and restaurants. Excellent base to visit Connemara.
