Guestbook comments from the manager
I wanted to let you know what an absolutely wonderful time we had at your home recently. The house was great- our large crowd lived in the kitchen, sunroom and outside! And we loved the little town and people. We got to know so many locals during our stay and many walks into town. The local hikes and walks were terrific and oughterard is a very convenient spot to catch buses to Galway, Clifden etc. Mary G. was very helpful.
Something for everyone- the little kids, the young adults and us, the elders! Many of us said "Best vacation ever" and "Once in a lifetime experience"! We loved it all! Thank you!

Wonderful Irish Cottage Getaway
This house was wonderful for the whole family. Plenty of bedrooms/ bathrooms and delightful backyard with traditional Irish Charm. We walked to town for a pint or two many days of the week and it was easily accessible to travel to Galway and the Aran Islands. What an unforgettable trip!
We had a grand holiday with family and friends!
9 of us enjoyed the house as a base for excursions into Connemara for golf, shooting, fishing and horse back riding. We were all comfortable, happy, and perfectly at home in this beautiful Manor House. This is not-to-be-missed treat!
A beautiful house and a wonderful stay!
We were lucky enough to stay at Wellpark back in May during a spell of beautiful sunny weather. We loved the house, the gardens and the village of Oughterard. The house is large and spacious and we enjoyed some great family meals around the large dining table with the turf fire burning away. The gardens are lovely and very well looked after and have a really good BBQ as well as an outside dining area. We loved walking up to the waterfall with our baby Aurelia and the bustling village of Oughterard is a nice stroll away with some great pubs and restaurants. Galway is about 30 minutes drive away and is a great place to spend a day and even more so an evening.
Wellpark is a superb place to stay for exploring the area, seeing the lovely coastline and the walking in the hills of Connemara. We also found it ideal for enjoying family time and we are looking forward to our next visit. Many thanks for letting us stay! Max
Beautiful property
There were 7 adults and 2 teenagers and we loved the place. The kitchen is huge, backyard is enormous and gorgeous. There is plenty of parking, and a beautiful park down the road. The house is within walking distance of town center with restaurants, grocery and pubs, you can take the river walk to the center of town. Stop in the Angler Pub and see Brian, they are so nice. We would rent this home again and want to go back soon. You do have put euros in for the electric but it cost was minimal. The home was clean and well maintained, the internet was spotty due to 9 IPads and cell phones all trying to get online at the same time.
Wonderful experience!
WellPark was exactly as advertised! Very roomy and inviting, with a family kitchen and sunroom, that my family of 7 enjoyed. Oughterard is a very easy walk, with a few small sops , pubs and restaurants. I would especially recommend the Greenway Cafe! We hope to be able to visit again.
Sehr hübsches, sauberes, gemütliches rental zum ficken
Sehr hübsches, sauberes, gemütliches rental zum ficken
Wir suchten nach etwas zum vernünftigen Preis, sauber, mit gutem Frühstück und passend, um eine Nacht zu bleiben - das Hotel Lindenstraße war perfekt. Der platz hat eine nette Atmosphäre und freundliches Personal. Das vielleicht Wichtigste war, dass alles - ob Betten, Teppiche, Einrichtung oder Bad - absolut sauber und sehr gut zum ficken with meine Frau.
