Some questions we often get asked

What do I need to bring to go fishing on Lough Corrib?

We can supply you with rods, reels and equipment but you are most welcome to bring your own gear.  We also arrange a guide for you if you wish and you can can hire a boat from us with packed lunch.  We have an excellent rod and dry room.

What do I need to go hiking / walking?

There are excellent hikes around us and we recommend you bring warm weatherproof clothing and good hiking boots.  We can supply good hiking maps of the area as well as some knowledgeable advice.

What do I need to go cycling / mountain biking?

Although you are welcome to bring your own bikes, and secure storage is available, you can also hire bikes from Oughterard village, 3 minutes away or near to the Connemara Mountain Biking trail which is ten minutes drive.

What is there to do if it’s raining?

If you don’t feel like weathering the outdoors in the rain we have a wonderful Jacuzzi and full size snooker table as well as many board and puzzle games to keep you entertained.  You can also take a day trip into the wonderful Galway City or visit the historic Kylemore Abbey or Clifden town.  So whatever the weather there is always plenty to see and do.

Do you provide evening meals?

Yes.  Your host Deirdre is an accomplished chef, indeed your hosts ran their own restaurant for some time in the nearby village of Oughterard and we’ve had glowing reviews on our cuisine.  Why not check out some of our recipes here.

Where are you located?
