I've long held off reviewing this place for purely selfish reasons - I don't really want too many people knowing about it, because it's that amazing! My husband and I stayed her for 3 nights in February 2010 and had the most blissful time. Most of Ireland is shut for tourist business at this time of year, so we spent... More

Very quirky place. Lovely thatched roof cottage but overdone inside with all the nick knacks. Unfortunately the hosts smoke and the smell is evident within the accommodation. Lovely location nice breakfast

Fairybridge Cottage: what a picturebook Irish sight it is, indeed. As twilight was falling, we drove from Shannon Airport to the beautiful little village of Oughterard and wended our way slowly down a country lane through a wet and blowly gale. We turned into a small parking area in front of the whitewashed and thatch-roofed cottage, its entry path lined... More

Fairy Bridge Cottages: I have been passing through few times, coming from one of the unspoilt sides of Lake Corrib in Connemara; for me this place always looked like a dream accommodation: beautiful tatched cottages, it seems to be in a fairy tale. When we stayed we realized that it was even better than what we thought. It's a real... More

I'm in two minds about writing a review - simply because we love this place so much, we'd be gutted if we wanted to stay there and it was already booked! We stayed in the self-contained thatched cottage (it was our second stay), which is perfect in every way. The hosts are fantastic - everything is provided and nothing is... More

One of them is a 1 bed 1 bath and sleeps 2-4 comfortably (it has a futon on the lower level and a full-size mattress in the rafters). The... More

I've passed by there several times and the location and Irish cottage "feel" are very authentic. Plus real chickens running around and thatch. And a little river nearby.

What a great experience. You'll have to call Mary to make reservations because she doesn't believe in computers. She doesn't need to advertise because 90% of her guests have been there before. Don't expect your typical B&B fare, you are staying with a couple in their 3-bedroom thatched roof cottage that is so charming and beautiful, it was on the... More
