Guest Reviews

• Martin (10/5): Very nice location for exploring Connemara. Sweet and fun household dogs are a bonus :) - The household dogs, Billy and Zola are sweet and wonderful :)
• Teresa (10/5): - We had a beautiful room with a view of the lake. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. Gary was friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend staying here. Very narrow road to reach location, but worth it!
• Mario (8/5): -
• Karen (10/5): A warm welcome to a beautiful place - Great location, really big room, great service and cracking breakfast Nothing
• Stephen (10/5): - enormous room, excellent bathroom. best breakfast in our 20 day trip! Most kind and hospitable host.
• Karen (9/5): Beautiful country place! - Excellent breakfast! Gary was a wonderful host.
• Helga (9/5): -
• Francesca (10/5): - Oltre alla zona, per me bellissima, è stato un soggiorno perfetto. Gary è un padrone di casa perfetto e gentilissimo, ci ha preparato per entrambi i giorni un'ottima colazione. La camera bella e larga, con un patio carinissimo. Tutto perfetto!
• nat (10/5): Absolument parfait 👌 - L'emplacement est magnifique, l'hôte très sympa et la présence des chiens est top. A proximité de belles ballades et au calme. .
• Josiane (10/5): - The Lakehouse is a fabulous stay with just the right amount of care and attention and independence. Environment has a lovely outlook, easily accessible to anywhere you want to go. A great central point for travelling. Nil
• David (10/5): - One of the loveliest places I've stayed in. Spacious room with a great lakeside view. Wonderful breakfast and very friendly hosts. I'd thoroughly recommend it.
• Daniela (9/5): -
• Snoe (7/5): Purtroppo sotto le aspettative - Gary è simpatico e molto disponibile. La compagnia aerea ha posticipato il volo di 2 ore e ci ha comunque aspettato per il check-in. Ottima e abbondante la colazione. Si può scegliere tra tradizionale irlandese, dolce con pancakes, yogurt, frutta. Camera ampia. Mi dispiace non dare un voto maggiore (e sinceramente non capisco come possa avere una media così alta), ma per 120€ a notte mi aspettavo molto meglio. Purtroppo è stata la struttura peggiore nel nostro viaggio (ma non la più economica). La struttura è datata e andrebbe rinnovata. La pulizia di bagno e camera lascia a desiderare. C'è molta polvere, ragnatele, ragni e altri insetti. C'è sempre un odore di chiuso, di muffa dovuto alla moquette e all'umidità. Il lavandino non ha il miscelatore. Non c'è privacy perché chi passa per andare a prendere la macchina vede l'interno della camera, essendo tutta a vetri, a meno che non si tirino le tende notturne (ma così facendo rimane buio). Dovrebbero esserci le classiche tende bianche che lasciano passare la luce ma non permettono di vedere dentro. Anche il patio è malandato ed essendo all'aperto, spesso le sedie e il tavolino sono bagnati e inutilizzabili.
• Chanelle (9/5): - Very friendly hosts.
• Jan (10/5): - Great B and B in a lovely location right on Lake Corrib. Gary is a good host and his dogs are gorgeous. Very friendly, and wanting to play, Billy even led us to our room. Very good breakfast, I particularly enjoyed the crepes with fruit. Very clean with a very comfortable bed. We will be back next year, and hope Billy will have a new ball.
• Tena Aldekoa (10/5): Muy recomendable! - Las vistas, la habitación, el desayuno es increíble.... Nada
• Sebastien (10/5): - Merci pour tout. Les chambres sont top, la literie magnifique, les p’tits déjeuner succulents et votre humour… nous avons adoré
• Pablo (7/5): Buenas vistas y tranquilidad. - El sitio es muy bonito con jardín que da al lago. El propietario fue amable y simpático. Necesita mucho mantenimiento. Aunque está limpio muchas cosas se ven viejas y deterioradas.
• Birgit (9/5): -
• GONCALVES (10/5): Parfait !! - L accueil exceptionnel, l emplacement parfait. Petit déjeuner salé/sucré à volonté, Gary au petit soin, merci !! Vue exceptionnelle sur le lac, calme et en même tout prêt du village pour se restaurer. Nous recommandons a 150%. Rien
• Jordi (10/5): -
• Frederic (9/5): - Tout Rien
• Tina (8/5): - Schöne Lage am See, drumherum einiges zum Anschauen, gutes Frühstück und zwei super liebe Hunde Kaum Fusswege am See oder der Umgebung. Man muss immer irgendwann direkt an der Strasse laufen und das war etwas unangenehm
• Aedin (8/5): -
• Cécile (10/5): - Le propriétaire est très sympathique, discute volontiers et donne des conseils sur les visites, il est aux petits soins. Il a deux chiens très rigolos avec qui nous avons passé du temps à jouer. L'établissement est situé près d'un lac au calme, très apaisant !
• Schwaiger (10/5): best accomodation in Ireland so far - wonderful host Gary; fantastic Irish breakfast with some fresh fruit and joghurt as a buffet; two lovely dogs who want to play all the time; great big room with lakeview; remote area to relax the ceiling of the shower could be renewed as it looks a little bit gross, but other than that: no complaints
• Virginia (9/5): - Las habitaciones son grandes y cómodas. El dueño es muy simpático

• Yassine (10/5): Exceptional - We had a very pleasant stay at this bed and breakfast just outside Galway. The room was spacious and clean, and the beds were especially comfortable so we slept very well. The location near the lake was a real plus, making it easy to reach both Connemara National Park and Galway city without much driving. The host was friendly and helpful without being overbearing, and the breakfast each morning was tasty and satisfying. Overall, a wonderful and comfortable place to stay if you're exploring the area.
• Teun (7/5): Pleasant, great location - Location is very Nice, room with a view, nice breakfast, amazing birdlife and wild orchids The bathroom could use some good cleaning (there are moulds outside of the showercabin.
• Pfja (10/5): A wonderful lake side property well situation within Galway to explore in any direction. - Gary provides and cooks a satisfying breakfast and is a most convivial host. He is attentive and accommodating. The bed and the shower were excellent and the room was quite comfortable.The view of Lough Corrib from both the room and the breakfast room is lovely. Just a little off of the N 59, the property is not difficult to find. This is a well placed location from which to explore Galway. Eat at Powers in town. I highly recommend staying here and would not hesitate to return. No complaints.
• Tico07 (10/5): Peaceful accomodation to enjoy the surroundings - Great Irish breakfast and very friendly staff. The dogs are lovely and playful. The location is just amazing, especially if you have one of the rooms overlooking the lake, really beautiful sunrises there! The rooms are very spacious. On our arrival we had a delayed flight and the hosts were kind enough to receive us way past the check-in hours. The matters was a bit soft for our liking but other than that everything was great.
• Clara (9/5): Came for a quick getaway to a stunning location - The property was wonderful! Stunning location for a getaway. Two lovely dogs there to greet you upon arrival. Lovely breakfast and lovely hosts!
• Vrrichie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Paolo (9/5): Nice place, felt looked after, would have liked to stay longer - We had a beautiful big room and a small terrace with a table outside where we could have our dinner. Quiet place in a romantic position. Friendly dogs. Gary did his best to help us with our needs and we were grateful for that. He has a particular sense of humor. We stayed there for 2-3 days but I am sure there would have been much more to see in the area. Very good price for the value offered. would appreciate a variation of food in the continental breakfast and the availability of Italian expresso coffee
• Johannes-max (8/5): We wouldn’t want to miss the time spend at this place. - Very good breakfast and lovely dogs. A fantastic lake view.
• Ronald (10/5): Most enjoyable, lovely welcome to Ireland. - Fantastic, highly recommended. Breakfast was very good, hosts very pleasant, with lots of helpful advice, including recommendations.

• Tom (9/5): All in all very pleasant - Pleasant view, Clean comfortable room with adequate extras supplied (coffee, toiletries etc.) Great ample breakfast. Did not seem as though there was possibility for purchase of cool refreshments and only option was trip of 3 odd kilometers to Oughterad.
• Kathleen (10/5): Beautiful location, lovely room, great host! - On arrival, Gary took us around to our room which overlooked Lough Corrib.

It was so quiet, so if you look for some rest, you'll definitely find it there. It's also only a half hour drive to Galway. The breakfast was perfect.
• Peumerit123 (9/5): Superb - Beautiful, peaceful setting. Large room with a great view. Really comfy bed. Great to have a fridge to use. The patio area in front of our room looked a bit neglected. It gave the wrong impression because inside was great.

This place and it's grounds are stunning it was an absolute treasure to find and get to stay here.... oh and the breakfast....... don't even get me started! 1000% Opt in to have breakfast here! you wont regret it. It was DELISIOUS! The owner is great and has an amazing sense of humor, with 2 dogs that love pats and to play fetch! We miss it here, one night was NOT long enough!

I'm going to try to make this a yearly trip. But he books out very quick. He is very popular so books out quick. I just got lucky.

• Etienne (10/5): Perfect night in Lakeland ++++ - View on the lake. Big room and bathroom Fantastic irish breakfast Very Nice host+++
• Pinhaus (8/5): Summer vibes at the lakeside - The Lakehouse felt just like a summer cottage at the lake shore. Wonderful, quiet area and beautiful views. Very nice host, big and clean room. In the morning we got huge irish breakfast plus there were also fruit, cereals and everything to get full for the whole day. There were most adorable dogs at the property ! The road to get to the place is very narrow and a bit far from the main road. The bathroom and furniture at the terrace are rather old and would require a bit of improvement/renovation. It is a shame really that the pier next to lake is more of a ruin with trash and concrete construktions and does not allow the swim or simply relaxing time at the shore. The place is so stunning, what a shame...
• Susan (9/5): Even as non fishermen it was a lovely relaxing stay - Perfect location for a lovely relaxing evening after touring the Connemara National Park Nothing
• Sandeep (10/5): Beautiful lake views - The property with it's lake views is great value for money. The rooms were neat, beds were very comfortable and breakfast was great. The dogs were lovely too. You will need a car to come here. Recommended stay enroute Connemara National Park!
