We had an amazing stay at the Lake View House. The house was very clean and comfortable. The views were amazing. The location is very convenient. We felt at home and were really able to enjoy our time in Recess and Connemara. Amanda was a great host! We would highly recommend staying at the Lake View House. We will definitely book for a future visit.
We had the immense pleasure of spending two weeks in this charming holiday home, and it was absolutely fantastic! The location is idyllic – surrounded by nature, with sheep grazing nearby and a breathtaking view of the countryside. The house is tastefully decorated and offers every comfort you could possibly need for a truly relaxing holiday.
The rooms are spacious, bright, and airy. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring we had a restful night's sleep throughout our stay.
The hosts were exceptionally friendly, always helpful, and readily available whenever needed, making our stay even more enjoyable.
All in all, it was a fantastic experience, and we wholeheartedly recommend this holiday home to anyone seeking a peaceful getaway!
This property is an ideal place to explore county Galway with excellent views from property. Please be aware there is an extra charge for oil and electricity which VRBO tell you about with arrival instructions.
Comfortable and well equipped house for a family (5+ people).
The presence of donkeys and cows is a plus for thecm real feeling to be in the countrysize.
So quiet and the lake view and mountains in the morning are so impressive.
We really enjoy our week spent here ! Erwann
Beautifully spacious, clean and perfectly equipped house in a lovely area - highly recommended!
In July 2023 we stayed for a week (two families, 7 persons) and truly loved this house and the surrounding. Perfectly equipped, clean, calm, pure nature, just next to the main road N59 Galway - Cliften, nearby walks, great views...
..and: very nice, acommodating hosts! Thank you very much indeed!

We had a good stay in the Lake View House and the surrounding region. The support of the owner was friendly and great.
The only problem we used to have was FeWo‘s Rule of Censorship, not allowing to exchange phone and email contacts. That may result in certain moments into problematic situations. FeWo wake-up and give these ways free as other Agencies do.
Logement bien confortable, bien spacieux , avec de jolies vues , dans un endroit calme et paisible au coeur du Connemara. Vaisselle limite en quantité quand on est 9. La propriétaire nous avait parlé d'un canapé pour la 9 ème personne, on le pensait convertible mais ce n'était pas le cas, heureusement il s'agissait d'un ado qui a pu dormir par terre. Il y avait 4 douches mais 2 n'étaient pas fonctionnelles. De très bons souvenirs en famille.
The property was just right for us, a party of 6 adults. We had a spare bedroom and the house was large, clean and comfortable. The views from all the windows ere fantastic. I was set in central Connemara allowing us to get to many of the places we wanted to visit easily. Amanda and her mum were friendly and helpful. We had a fantastic week and would highly recommend it to others. Thank you, Angela
