Fough East, Cozy and close to town

Tucked away on the edge of the vibrant village of Oughterard, Fough East is a welcoming haven that blends the warmth of Irish hospitality with the comfort of a true home-from-home. Perfect for families and groups of friends, this spacious retreat sleeps up to ten guests and offers the ideal base for exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Connemara and the wider West of Ireland.

Just a two-minute stroll brings you to the heart of Oughterard, a lively village known as “the Gateway to Connemara.” Here, you’ll find everything that makes Ireland so special cosy pubs filled with traditional music and laughter, excellent restaurants serving local fare, and friendly faces that make every visitor feel like part of the community.

Set near the shores of Lough Corrib, one of Ireland’s most famous fishing destinations, the area is a paradise for anglers, nature lovers, and adventurers alike. Spend your days fishing for wild brown trout, hiking through scenic countryside, exploring ancient ruins, or simply soaking in the serenity of the lake views. Galway City is just 27km away — close enough for a day trip, yet far enough to ensure a peaceful country escape.
