Summary: I spent nearly a week staying in the cottage and it was just wonderful. This is my second time there so I knew exactly what I was heading back to. The lady who runs the cottage is very kind and if you have a problem will try to help you in any way she can. I rented the cottage on my own this time and I felt safe and secure at all times. It is so peaceful there, the beach is a stones throw away and the location couldn’t be any better. It’s a great location for touring around and just a few kilometres from Roundstone village. Highly recommend

Summary: We've stayed a few times in this property and will be back again. You could not find a more beautiful location overlooking Dog's Bay. The owners were so helpful and accommodating.

Summary: Excellent location.Cosy, atmospheric,well equipped cottage.The open fire was very welcome during the colder evenings. Dogs / Gurteen Bay super for swimming and walking over the headland.

Summary: We could not have asked for a better location. Owner was next door if we needed her. The cottage could do with a few repairs and the dampness needs sorted as the smell in one of the bedrooms was strong. A bit more attention to cleaning between guests. None of the above would put me off staying here again though.

Summary: Pack your bags and just go! We were 2 kids (6 yo), 2 teenagers (15&16) and 3 adults (40’s). Wonderful trip!

Summary: The cottage was basic but clean and cosy and well stocked with basic requirements. The location overlooking probably the best beach in the world is ideal for a beach/sea lover like me. Barbados with a Connemara backdrop is my description. Only one experience under par and this has nothing to do with the accomadation . I like to eat out at night on holidays and I expected more choice in Roundstone .I fully appreciate that Covid restrictions played a part but hotel restaurants were closed and the renowned O'Dowd's whilst good for chowder and crab claws,the menu disappointed otherwise and staff not very welcoming or friendly. Only for the Shamrock Bar we would not have been able to get food on our first night (Sunday)! Taxi people not helpful if you wish to eat in Roundstone...Clifden route preferred for obvious reasons ! Only for Claire's Hackney service we were badly served .Claire was so helpful and friendly. Thank you Claire. Lovely produce to bring home from Sunday market in Roundstone ; a swim and sometimes many more every day in Dogs Bay lovely people good food ..Heaven. I will be back .

Summary: Had an amazing week in Roundstone , this house is a great base for sightseeing, so much to do in Galway you won’t be bored. The house was a 4 minute walk from Dogsbay beach -beautiful to swim in too. Ocean view is a very basic house -no mod cons , brings you back to houses years ago . Lovely open fire with a basket of turf. There is no wifi and phone signal is very poor , will only get messages .overall we had a fantweek in Ocean view. Lady of the house was very helpful too.

Summary: We would highly recommend this property and this is our second time to stay here. The view and location was perfect with the beach only a short walk away (10 min). This year we were able to close the gate and the owners put up a mesh barrier which was great for our dog who could roam around the garden freely. We lit the fire every night which makes the house so cosy. We will definitely be returning sometime in the future.
