We loved the location and layout of the house. The town was lovely, we really enjoyed Powers Pub and Sullivans for amazing cinnamon buns. Very convenient to visit Galway City and Conamara. We had 6 adults and two children and had plenty of space.

Big cottage on quiet location

We had a great stay. The cottage is very big. The kitchen is well equipped. The village is close by. The only point I can think of in a negative way, is the loud sound of the boiler (?) once you turn the water on or flush the toilet at night. The bathrooms could use an update. But it did not bother us.

The Railway Cottage was a great place. It had plenty of space and was well equipped. We loved the openness of the outdoor space and lay out of the home.

Oughterard October Holiday

Very spacious and well equipped home on the outskirts of Oughterard. The location might not be great for some people as it is about 30 minutes outside of Galway. The town of Oughterard is a great little town to visit. The dishwasher was functioning properly as dishes did not come out clean. The keys and alarm system were a tad confusing. There were four keys and it took some time to figure out which key opened up which door. There were two doors, so not sure what the other two keys were actually for. There was a phone number to contact the property owner with questions. However, the two calls I made went unanswered.

Very Happy and a lovely base to explore from.

Cottage is lovely and easy to find the local village is walkable and has everything you would want with shops and great restaurants (reasonable prices too) the only small thing we would suggest they improve is the lighting in the kitchen which is really insufficient if you want to cook in the evening.
