Description

Oughterard 5.6 miles.

Ben Gower is a traditional, thatched cottage hidden away in the County Galway countryside near Oughterard, County Galway.

With scenic mountain views, a toasty woodburning stove and off-road parking for three cars, this homely abode is an excellent base for families or groups of friends, idyllic for a tranquil getaway.

Upon entering the cottage, you will be greeted by a living/dining room, complete with a woodburning stove, perfect for those chillier evenings.

Here, you can relax and unwind, perhaps with a good book or a favourite film, while the designated chef of the group prepares a delicious meal in the well-equipped kitchen.

The dining table provides a sociable space to enjoy your culinary creations, share stories of the day, or plan the next day's adventures.

When the day draws to a close, retire to one of the two inviting bedrooms, comprising a double with an en-suite shower room and a twin, both offering a peaceful setting to rest after a day of exploration.

The property also benefits from a bathroom with a bath, where you can freshen up each morning.

Outside, the non-enclosed shared lawn provides a wonderful space to stretch your legs, and enjoy the fresh country air, perhaps with a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, while you take in the stunning mountain views that surround this charming cottage.

Countless memorable day trips await within easy reach, such as the Glengowla mines & the Corrib princess boat trip, making it perfectly placed to discover the very best of County Galway.

When each day is done, retreat to the tranquillity of Ben Gower, your home away from home.

Note: This property can be booked with refs. 1153286, 1153330, 1153331, and 1153333, sleeping a total of 26 guests.

Wir hatten eine großartige Zeit und haben viele Unternehmungen von hieraus gestartet.

Der Kontakt zur Eigentümerin war sehr freundlich und unkompliziert. Auch das Essen in deren Pub ist sehr zu empfehlen. Wir würden das Cottage noch einmal buchen.

Cottage is in a beautiful setting, very roomy.

Not comfortable to sit as the furniture is old fashioned wooden framed chairs which are very hard cushioned also a two seater sofa. So cannot lay back after a long day. The single beds are comfy and that’s where we went after a long day to relax!!! The cleaner needs to look in the corners of rooms for the cobwebs/spiders as there were many! The bath (patio) screen isn’t very nice when you’re laid in it, it isn’t sealed from the inside and looks disgusting very dirty inside. Great to have a washing machine and separate dryer though. Lovely to watch the sheep in the garden but watch out for poop. Lovely to have the option to light a fire as all that’s needed is there.
