Our stay at Dove Cottage was everything we had hoped for and more for our Ireland leg of our three country holiday in Europe. David greeted us at the cottage and provided recommendations for dinner and lunches. Most graciously, David and Miriam stocked the fridge with yogurt, cheese, butter, and milk. A delicious loaf of brown bread, fresh from the bakery, accompanied the food. Maps and literature of the region were provided to help us determine places to visit. David and Miriam were present if we had questions or need of assistance.The cottage and grounds were very well taken care of and clean, with a cozy, safe, and quiet atmosphere in the Irish countryside. I highly recommend Dove Cottage. Thank you, David and Miriam, for a wonderful experience in your beautiful country, Ireland.

Cosy annexe to the property manager’s house. Lovely spot within walking distance of the Loch Corib.

David and Miriam were great hosts. The cottage is well appointed and very comfortable. The location allowed us to visit many sites with ease. Oughterard is a wonderful village with all the necessities fuel, butcher, grocery stores and pubs. We especially enjoyed several evening dinners at Powers Pub; great food and wonderful people. We had a lovely time!

Dove Cottage was the perfect place for our recent stay in Ireland. The cottage was small and clean, comfortable, and quiet and perfect for 2 people. It was surrounded by beautiful gardens and our hosts, David and Miriam, were very kind and helpful. They gave us great recommendations on places to visit and eat during our stay.
The local Town was a quick ride away and has a grocery store, gas station, several pubs/restaurants, a variety of shops, and Sullivan's Country Grocer with take-away sandwiches and delicious treats. Highly recommend the caramel bars!
Located in beautiful Connemara, this was a wonderful jumping off point for day trips into Galway, Clifden, and others and to see the Irish Atlantic coast, amazing mountain ranges, and scenic drives with beauty all around. Prepare to see lots of sheep, cows, horses, and donkeys on your travels!
While we visited, we went to a local agricultural fair, visited the Cliffs of Moher, and took a lake boat cruise out of a local dock that travelled to an island with ancient ruins of a church/abbe, a home, and cemetery and then onto Ashford Castle to self-tour the beautiful gardens and a short walk (10min) into Cong, the Town famous for "The Quiet Man" movie.
Dublin is @ 2.5 hrs away, a very doable day trip in to the city if you are up for it and we went to tour the Guinness Storehouse and Trinity College.
We would highly recommend Dove Cottage to those who want to see Ireland at it's most beautiful and wild best.
