Visit Oughterard

Mountain View Guesthouse
What a lovely guesthouse! It is spotlessly clean and quiet, and Patricia is a welcoming and gracious host. She prepares wonderful breakfasts each day. I highly recommend Mountain View if you want a Galway-area stay, a bit outside the city.

The Galmont
The Galmount hotel is fab. The spa is something else. Staff so lovely. Super brekkie. Excellent food in bar and restaurant. Spacious, comfortable rooms. Couldn’t get better location. Staff so accommodating too. Can’t fault it.

Lovely 3 Bedroom Bungalow on the shore of Lough Corrib (Oughterard.)
Nice little bungalow on the lake that my group stayed at for a few nights to explore Western Ireland. The scenery was gorgeous, and it was a very quick/easy drive into Oughterard for restaurants / supplies.

SUPERB COTTAGE ON 9 ACRES PROPERTY
This is undoubtably the quietest, most private and most relaxing accommodation that I have ever booked. Bring a good book, a set of field glasses and chill out.

Historic Georgian Country House with Private Garden & Riverside Charm
They took out deposit with zero communication. We booked and paid half, they didn’t contact us for the further payment, just took the deposit and cancelled without notice, ruined our joint family reunion, then kept the large deposit.
