It is a large comfortable holiday house with real character and some history and is ideal for a large family or even two families to enjoy at any time of the year. It is ideally situated for fishing, and is an excellent base for those who wish to enjoy the beautiful lakes mountains and coastline of the West of Ireland. At the same time the grounds are fantastic for adventurous children who want to explore, build dens and make campfires.

Very comfortable family home with plenty of room for 11 of us. Located not far from several villages. Plenty to visit nearby as well as further afield. Beautiful countryside, walks with stunning views over the Lough.

The pictures of Carrick House do not do it justice! It is so beautiful. The house is long and the rooms are spread out. This works nicely when you have early sleepers and late sleepers. We weren’t disturbed by others at all. If you’re looking for modern features, this is not your house. It is a quaint country home in a beautiful setting! Carrick House did not disappoint and we would love to return here. Thank you to Brid and the Dunne family for a wonderful stay!❤️

This place was absolutely amazing. The pictures and description don’t do it justice. Stayed with my adult children, and would absolutely have another reunion here. It’s a bit far out, but the peace and quiet are well worth the drive to other attractions

Wunderschöne Lage!

Wunderschöne Lage!

Ein altes, aber wunderschönes Haus. Wohnbereich super! Auch Bäder sind toll. Zimmer (Wir waren eine Gruppe mit 5 Paaren) älter und könnten ein wenig erneuert werden. Ich denke, Corona geschuldet, merkt man, dass es in letzter Zeit wenig bewohnt wurde. Leichter Geruch. Allerdings entschädigt, die tolle Küche! Es liegt direkt am See. Wir würden wieder dort hingehen.

Home away from home

Home away from home

We were a group of 13 people (6 adults and 7 teenagers). The house is so comfortable and extensive that everyone could hang out together or withdraw to their own quiet corner. The kitchen is amazing with space for all to sit down together. Everything stated online was available and so much more. The grounds of the house are idyllic with a view of the beautiful Lough Corrib. It was the perfect location for day trips all around Galway and neighbouring counties / from the Cliffs of Moher to Westport. I can recommend this holiday home without any doubt to people interested in a home away from home.

Absolutely superb house with everything possible provided.

Absolutely superb house with everything possible provided.

This would have to be the best house we have stayed in over the years - nine of us ages 19 - 94! Lounge/sun room/kitchen so spacious and comfortable. Kitchen has everything you could want and more for cooking for a big group. Heating when needed (mid September) worked instantly and hot water supply excellent. Bedrooms worked well with plenty of extra bedding possible. The house has lots of character and the location is great for access to superb countryside. Local walks and villages for the less active and strenuous ones in the Twelve Bens and Maumturks for the more energetic. Nial's instructions and communications were prompt and extremely helpful. Highly recommended and hope to be back one day. Thank you.

Great location for visiting Connemara

Great location for visiting Connemara

It's a good spot. There were only three of us so lots of room. A great kitchen, lots of spots to sit and read and easy drives to Clifden, Kylemore Abbey, Ashford Castle.

Carrick Hse. Review

Carrick Hse. Review

We stayed in Carrick Hse in August 2014 and had a truly wonderful holiday. The house has a special character and has a feeling of a home rather than a holiday rental. The facilities in Carrick Hse are excellent, the kitchen a chef's dream. Breakfast on the veranda with a magical view of Lough Corrib, or watch the sun set from the beautifully designed sunroom. Our children enjoyed rowing on the lake, (very reasonable rental rates close to the house) Lovely house for an active holiday or simply to relax in the house or at the lake shore across the road.

Wonderful house

Wonderful house

The house was just as advertised - only better. It was extremely well fitted - everything we needed was there, and more. The kitchen was a dream and has a long table which seats 12 . The garden was ideal for the younger members of the family to play in and the wood with a stream running through it, at the back of the house gave great enjoyment. The outlook over the lake was lovely and we all had a wonderful holiday
