Vacation rentals with a kayak in County Galway

We only stayed for one night with three adults, and this was a good location for us to stay. The views of the lake are gorgeous, it is very peaceful and quiet. It was nice to be only 10 minutes away from the town where you can access shops, groceries, coffee, etc. Check in and check out were very easy and smooth and the hosts were responsive and helpful. The double bed is comfortable, but the single bed mattress was not ideal to support an adult, probably better for a child. There was a kettle and tea provided, as well as towels for the shower. It was nice to have the smart TV with access to Netflix, youtube, etc. but the wifi was not very reliable for streaming on the TV.

Martin was a very welcoming and friendly host. Asked us about our trio and what we were planning on doing. When we told him my partner was taking part in a strongman competition he wished us luck and was very interested about it. The room we were staying in was lovely and exceptionally tidy. Bed was super comfy and the area was beautiful to look at it. We can’t wait to come back again.

I stayed 6 nights at Martin's place, and I'm glad! The room is very large, with great lake and mountain views in the background. The bed is super comfy, I slept there like a baby! The bathroom is also spacious, and clean. I enjoyed being able to settle in the living room (shared with the other bedroom) after a good day of walking. The house is located in a peaceful residential area and only a few minutes walk from the lake. And less than 5 minutes by car from the charming village Oughterard, where you can find everything you need in terms of shops. And the best for the end: the hospitality, just great! Martin is very nice, attentive, and regularly ensures during the stay that you are well, without being intrusive. He is responsive if you have questions and gives lots of ideas for activities, walks to do or restaurants. In short, I recommend this place 200%, for me I felt at home!

stayed one night at davids, it was a home away from home. spotlessly clean, well situated, and David was an excellent host. will definitely return.

Rhona is really kind. She is very nice and very helpful. The house is great, clean, quiet. We appreciated everything. If we go back to Ireland, we will probably go back there.

A fantastic location with a view in every direction, each very special and therefore never boring. A good starting point for several (hiking) tours. Get tips on this too. Sun (if it shines) from morning to evening on or in the house. We have already decided after a few days that we want to come back next year. To relax, enjoy and unwind, one of the best accommodations I know. And don't worry about the access, it's really absolutely doable and doesn't require a special car or a special driver.

Robert and his family were super receptive, kind, flexible and always ready to assist. The place and stay are flawless. I’d love to go back!

We were 3 adult couples touring Ireland. The place is lovely with the river running next to the house. Hugh was there to meet us with instructions and recommendations and Anne had left us some homemade brown bread . It’s only a couple of minutes walking distance from the picturesque Cong village with lovely pubs and music on Thursdays to Sundays. Some lovely walks as well. Overall a great find and would defiantly stay again if in the area. The film The Quiet Man with John Wayne was filmed in Cong in 1951 so worth a watch before you go or you can watch on the DVD provided at the house.

Cormac is an Excellent Host, Cormac goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome. The house has an incredible view. The private parking is a huge perk as Kinvara is a busy place. Cormac’s house is central to everything and Kinvara is a phenomenal town to visit for vacation. It is central to many things; Galway, the Burren, other coastal towns and beaches. We hope to come back and stay with Cormac again. Felt right at home.
