    The room was clean and comfortable. The host was very accommodating and served an excellent breakfast each morning. She also was very willing to provide information about the surrounding area and where to go and what to see. The location was lovely and very quiet. She allowed the use of the sitting room and was very comfortable. It was nice to have another place to sit and read or just enjoy the view.

    This is a magical part of Ireland, the B&B is right on the lake after a 2K drive from the Main Road. Great place to walk, fish or just relax. Mary was a wonderful host with suggestions on where to go and where to eat. I wish I had stayed longer than 3 nights

    The house is not reachable without a car. If you have a rental car it's no problem with the parking. But without you cannot reach it. The wall to the other rooms were quite thin, so you could hear steps from other residents

    The host was very nice and the breakfast was also really good. The area around the B&B was very quiet and really beautiful. On one side of the house is a lake, on the other side grazes with sheep's.

    The bathroom was a bit small. While the location was really beautiful, overlooking the lake. The drive to the accommodation was a bit small.

    The host is super friendly and helped us with planning our days. We felt very welcome! The house is really clean and the breakfast was very nice.

    Quite far from anything although if you have a car that's not a problem. No drinks facilities in the room, but are welcome to help yourself to tea & coffee in the dining room until 7am.

    Lovely owners Mary & Tom, always available if needed. Delicious home cooked breakfast. Comfortable room with a stunning view of the countryside and mountains.

    The house is about 30 minutes by car to Galway and there is also bus stop on the main street nearby connecting to Galway. I appreciated very much the cleaness of Mary's house as well as the breakfast served. She is very nice and kind. We had very pleasant staying at her house.

    - location is OK if you travel by car, otherwise it's not easy to get there - long narrow winding road leading to the property - small bathroom

    + beautifully decorated house with lots of fresh flowers + lovely, attentive and helpful hostess + clean and tidy room + delicious breakfast + nice garden and beautiful lake + plenty of parking space

    Tea, coffee & snacks (cookies, biscuits, etc) are laid out in the dining room, so plan your trips for a cuppa to boil the kettle there as there are no facilities in the room. We didn't mind it too much. On the plus, kettle always full, loads of mugs, generous selection of snacks. Slow fill toilet was quite loud over several minutes, so were careful when we flushed in consideration of other guests.

    Mary is a dote, she's very welcoming, warm and open to helping in every way. She set the tone for a very relaxing stay. The room was clean and comfortable, with all the towels and linens we needed. The calming view was also very welcome. The cooked breakfast was tasty, and although no gluten-free options were available she adjusted it to include only the gluten-free products and had no problem with my wife bringing her own food, having suggested it herself. Location was very peaceful and quiet, a short drive from the village.

    The owner / host is a very nice lady. She showed us everything, Gave us recommendations for restaurants in Oughterad and regarding activities in the region. The house is located directly at the lake, with a lake view from the rooms or the front terrace. You can use the living room if you like. The breakfast is really good. You need a car to get from the Waterfront House to the village. Walking along the Main Street is no fun. It is very quiet there and great to disconnect from every days work.

    The bathroom might be a bit cramped for some, but other than that, a lovely place.

    Nice B&B with a pretty view! The host was nice and gave us useful information on where to park in town and the food options. The breakfast was good too. Would definitely stay there again when in the area.
