Whimsical Christmas on Lough Corrib

We arrived to a whimsically decorated lodge in a serene setting close to the lake. Neil was a terrific host, readily accessible, and attentive to our questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas stay and hope to return in the future!Thank you, Neil, for the added Christmas decor to make our Christmas away from home spectacular!

Host was Helpful

Being near the lake, this lodging had a lot of humidity inside. It was a blessing to have nice hot water, good water pressure, and control of the room thermostat. It was also an added benefit to have a modem to enjoy streaming tv. We met Neil and he had some helpful suggestions for driving in the area

Pastoral charm

A somewhat isolated location surrounded by pastures and located within day trip range of a number a great locations. The host went above and beyond to offer assistance with any questions and to provide information about the area. All the basics provided in the kitchen to do simple meal preparations.

Cozy and clean!

We were welcomed with a little sweet surprise! After traveling for over 15 hours, it was so nice to come to the Fisherman’s Lodge and find a yummy loaf of bread, Irish butter and Rasberry Jam!! It touched our hearts. The bedrooms were just like the pictures and very clean. Anytime I texted the host, they were quick to reply and very helpful. My family felt at home and LOVED every minute!!

Super für Familienurlaub

Die Wohnung liegt in einer sehr ruhigen Gegend nahe einem See. Die Anreise per Auto ist unproblematisch, der Check-In und Kontakt mit dem Vermieter war sehr nett und hat wunderbar funktioniert. Die Wohnung selbst ist gut ausgestattet. Besonders schön ist eine große Terrasse am gut gepflegten Garten auf der die Möglichkeit zu Grillen besteht. Darüber hinaus war Spielzeug und ein Kinderbett vorhanden. Auch diverse Gesellschaftsspiele und Bücher waren vorhanden, u.a. anderem ein Reiseführer den wir gerne zur Inspiration genutzt haben. Die Lage ist gut um den Westen von Irland in Tagestouren zu erkunden.
