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.

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.



Inside, Fough East combines modern comfort with rustic charm. Each of the five ensuite bedrooms is uniquely styled, with warm wooden floors, inviting textures, and thoughtful details that create a sense of calm and relaxation. The house is designed for togetherness, yet each room offers a private sanctuary to unwind after a day of exploring.

Bedroom 3: Double bed, built-in wardrobe, and armchair. Ensuite shower room.



Bedroom 4: Twin room with two single beds, ideal for friends or younger guests. Ensuite shower room.



Bedroom 5: King-size bed, bright and spacious, with an ensuite shower room.



Throughout the home, you’ll find free WiFi, central heating, and plenty of thoughtful touches to make your stay easy and comfortable. Off-street parking is provided, and the friendly owner who speaks both English and German is always happy to offer local tips or help arrange babysitting if needed.



Whether you’re casting a line on Lough Corrib, enjoying live music in one of Oughterard’s traditional pubs, or taking a scenic drive through the winding roads of Connemara, Fough East is the perfect place to come home to peaceful, comfortable, and filled with the true spirit of the West.

Beautiful cottage. Everything was wonderful. Very clean. Central location to access the area. Short driving distance to Galway and Connemara. It was the walking distance to Oughterard was fabulous. Cute stores, restaurants and groceries if needed. Christa welcomed us in and she was a wonderful host. The scones were the extra bonus.

Really comfortable and convenient location. En-suite bathrooms for each bedroom a plus. Easy walk to shopping and several pubs. Easy off street parking. Kitchen well equipped although not large enough to fit more than three or so people at once.

Family trip

We had a wonderful time. Christa was great and so kind and helpful. The house was perfect for our group of 6. It was clean, cozy, and the bedrooms and bathrooms perfect. There was plenty of room and easily could fit a couple more. The location was perfect and there was a great space to park the rental van. Over all this is a fabulous house for groups. We loved the house and the area. Thank you Christa for the warm welcome and delicious cake.

Fough East- Wonderful Experience

The property is lovely and close to village center. It’s a short distance to two bus stops, grocery, shops, and dinning. You can walk to Lough Corrib and there is a quaint river walk for some outdoor time. Due to the traffic, you would need to take the bus or car to the golf course or castle. The host was very accommodating and even had fresh baked scones and cinnamon cake for our arrival!
