Photos and Description of the Connemara vacation villa rental
Villa, private cottage, comfort, big garden, access to lake, 5 bedrooms

“Anam-Samh” (= “tranquil soul” in Irish) is a modern, comfortable and tastefully furnished 5-bedroomed family cottage with a conservatory and a living area of 200 square meters, idyllically situated on a secluded 2.5 acre site directly on the shores of Lough Corrib, surrounded by a very large Garden and its own woods at rear. As its name implies the house is an ideal place to get away from it all. With panoramic views of Lough Corrib and the Connemara mountains in the distance, the setting is breathtaking, peaceful and surrounded by nature. Relax and read in front of a cosy log fire; take a stroll through the surrounding countryside go fishing, hill-walking or biking through scenic Connemara or enjoy cinemas, theatre, traditional Irish music etc. It's all on your doorstep.

Out of the Guest Book: What a wonderful week we had! We enjoyed your beautiful house, beautiful country and very kind & helpful people. What a magical place! We will miss the birds, bunnies and other wild life around your lovely home, but we take home many new memories. 21. – 28. July 2007, the McMurry Family, Los Alamos USA *****

How lucky we feel to have chanced upon your lovely home on the internet and to have managed to book it for the week of the wedding of our nephew. It’s in such a beautiful location and we were lucky with the weather. That all in all made our stay really wonderful. 14. – 21. July 2007, Kathy Booth., London, UK

*****

Tranquil, peaceful and above all the calming scenery: Enough to recharge the batteries and more. The weather was very wet while we were here, but your house and the magnificent view gave us rest and made up for it, ten times over. Will definitely be back hail, rain or snow, but hopefully sun shine. 30. June – 7. July 207, the Jonston Family, Downpatrick Ireland

Galway: Galway City is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Ireland. Visitors and students contribute a lot to the life of the City and are welcomed by the Galwegians for doing so. Galway and its surroundings are famous for many festivals from the Film festival (end June), 'Galway Arts Festival' (mid-July), 'Galway Races' (end July) culminating in the famous 'Galway and Clarinbridge Oster Festival' (in September). A free newspaper which contains details of what's happening in the City 'The Galway Advertiser' is published every Thursday and it is worth checking the internet or picking up a copy (available in any newsagent's, if you are quick).

Tourist attractions: The house is ideally situated for trips to the wonderful scenic area of Connemara and Co. Clare. Connemara is a superb fishing and golfing area. Oughterard Golf Club (18 hole Parkland) is only ten minutes away. You may also go on beautiful walks (Connemara Way) and there is wildlife for the keen photographer. Visit Co. Clare e.g. the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren with its spectacular views and the Aran Islands by boat from Rossavael (45 minutes drive from the house).

Great Family Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: June 22, 2011 Stayed: April 2011
My husband, our two teenage daughters, my mother, and my in-laws spent a wonderful week together here. We chose this property because the master suite had a walk-in shower on the main floor which was perfect for guests with physical limitations. The house has absolutely everything you would need and the best equipped kitchen of any holiday rental we ever had. We shared most evening meals all together around the dining room table and had one evening meal out at the Forge in Moycullen which had a great menu of food in a casual dining atmosphere. I can’t say enough about this property. The second floor has two nice bedrooms and a spacious lounge in addition to a full bath. The views from most rooms are absolutely spectacular and one morning we awakened to the mooing of cows that were grazing in the property next door. So much thought went into furnishing and equipping this property with instructions for all appliances handy. We hope to return someday and next visit will set aside a full day to explore Connemara National Park.

Outstanding & Stunning Property!

Outstanding & Stunning Property!
5 of 5
Submitted: July 11, 2009 Stayed: July 2009
My family have just returned from staying in this stunning property, it is even better than it looks on the website!

Extremely relaxing, and the window in the lounge overlooking the Lough can not be beaten, especially if you enjoy curling up and reading. Excellent location, and plenty of very nice restaurants in close proximity, would highly recommend The Pullman Restaurant at Glenlo Abbey Hotel (food is good, but the experience is excellent), O'Grady's on the Pier in Barna is excellent.

The house has absolutely everything you could want in it, the kitchen is extremely well equipped with all the pots, pans, spices, oils etc that you would need.

The people looking after the house were extremely helpful, and yet very unobtrusive.

We can not recommend this property highly enough, and will definitely be back again.
