Oughterard Apartment | Stunning Luxury Thatched cottage not far from Galway City & Connemara - Hot Tub & Sauna

3 Bedroom Apartment in Oughterard

Outside: Patsys Cottage is like stepping back in time while also experiencing luxury. It has been lovingly restored in resent years from farm building to beautiful and unusual thatched cottage. The building dates back to pre 1820. Located down a boreen (small country road) you can walk down past the house to the old Clifden to Galway railway line and on into the forest. The property is located just 4km from Oughterard which is the gateway to Connemara while also being just 40 min drive from Galway City – the perfect location for exploring.
Oughterard is famous for its Salmon and Trout fishing and is also the start of the Western Way walking trail. Each year the village holds an International Mayfly festival. You can rent fishing gear or if you would like an even more relaxed stay, enjoy a boat trip on Lough Corrib out to Inchagoill Island. Make sure to check out Powers Bar and the Boat Inn for great food. Grab a coffee and browse the great selection at O Sullivans shop.
Right next door to the cottage you will find the Glengowla Mines and farm experience – a great way to spend a few hours panning for gold or learning to shear sheep. If you are into mountain biking, head up the forest track or just 5 mins away you have the Derroura Mountain Bike Trail
The property is a lovely step back from it all. Enjoy the chickens and bee hives while sipping a glass of wine in the beautiful outdoor area.
Inside: This cottage has been finished to a very high standard with tasteful fixings and fixtures that suit this historical property. You enter through a beautiful low door with an original stain glass window from the local church. The ceilings go right up the roof and are timber clad giving an even more cosy feel. All the stunning timber inside and out is locally sourced. In the kitchen you will find everything to cook during your stay – help yourself to the organic veg growing in the garden and of course the fresh eggs from the chickens. Cosy up with a book or a board game in front of the stove adding even more atmosphere to beautiful cottage.
From this central living space is a narrow ladder (not suitable for children) up to a small mezzanine style single room. Also off the living room you will find a further single room & a large master bedroom. There is a stunning bathroom with large walk in shower. The garden of this property is amazing – no matter what the weather! There is a wonderful seating area around a fire pit. There is a sauna with stunning views into the forest as one end is made completely of glass. Add some of the locally grown eucalyptus to give a therapeutic feel.
As if that wasn’t enough … you’ll also find a wood fire heated hot tub with an ice plunge pool! The perfect way to relax after a strenuous day biking or walking. The owners have really thought of it all at this property and have installed a EV point for you to charge your car.

Summary: The cottage was more lovely than I even imagined. So cozy and warm. It felt like a true escape, especially with the hot tub and sauna in the backyard. Jerry was such an attentive host. Not only did he explain everything thoroughly, but every day he restocked our firewood, checked on the fires, and left us fresh eggs and potatoes. He also told us the history of the cottage and gave great recs on where to go and eat in the area. My husband and I did not want to leave and I’m already making plans to go back. It’s a truly unique and beautiful way to experience Ireland.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at this cottage. After days out exploring, we relaxed in the sauna and hot tub under the stars. A really special place.

Summary: Patsy's cottage is the best place we stayed at during our Summer 24' Irish road trip. A charming thatched wood cottage, beautifully decorated and cleverly arranged, so that we didn't miss anything and there was sufficient space for the 4 of us. The outdoor part brings your stay to the next level, with sauna, jacuzzi, firepit, fresh eggs from the hens everyday, Connemara ponies across the road, fresh potatoes to dig out, flowers everywhere... And the owner Gerry is super available and friendly, always ready to help us feel better : it shows that he's (understandably) proud of the house he built. This place is pure hidden gem, only pity was that we could only book 3 nights there, due to its success. Would recommend a 1000 times to anyone, and already eager to return!

Summary: First of all: the owner is one of a kind. I seldomly met such a nice person in my life. Gerry was always there to provide us with fresh eggs, homemade honey, heating the stove and just having a chat. Thanks Gerry, you were awesome. The cottage itself was quaint and definitely worth the experience although I must say it is too small for four adults. The heating is run additionally through the stove. If you want really hot water and cosy warm rooms you need to light the fire. No problem with Gerry's help who lit the stove for us while we were away for sightseeing. There was plenty of timber and turf all the time. The cottage is located in the middle of nowhere. If you want to relax and do some digital detox it is perfect. One last thing. There was actually a washing machine in the cottage which was not in the description on the website. This should be added. Additionally there is everything in the cottage you need (even painkillers if you had too much of a drink).
