Beautiful, secluded, roomy, and comfortable.
This property was perfect for me and my extended family. Both granddaughters were over the moon at having a room with a balcony overlooking the lake. All four adults found the bedrooms, community areas and kitchen to be a great value with enough space for everyone to find seclusion when needed, and ample room for group meals and other activities. We loved the area and quickly found our way throughout the region and many of the area attractions. This house is a pure gem and we will remember our stay for decades to come.

Luxury, calm and pleasure at Anam Sámh, Galway.
If you look for a quiet and beautiful place with a breathtaking view, this is the place to be. Very nice house full equipped for cooking. The perfect location for visiting Connemara or just fishing and angling.

Not what we expected
The view is fabulous. The bathroom tiles are really nice. The sheets are left on the beds for you to make. The water was not even warm for evening showers, where as morning was better. No hot water for dishes.All sheets need to be replaced. Bees in upstairs room, broken light in master bath, very complex house systems to figure out. Home has well water. Location is somewhat remote but beautiful.

Lovely Location
We had a brilliant time in a really comfortable lakeside house which had everything we needed. The location is great if you enjoy kayaking or paddle boards, but is only 30 mins from Galway and well place for Connemara, and the Aran islands all of which we enjoyed. We couldn't book great Irish weather every day but it didn't matter and we wish we could have stayed for longer.

A lovely getaway place
on the shores of the lake surrounded by beautiful countryside and views over the lake. We swam and paddle boarded on the lake, and managed to get over to the other side from Knockferry. Plenty of room in the house for teenagers, although it was slightly restricted to walk anywhere. We found it very relaxing

Stunning location
Absolutely stunning location. Was great sitting in sun room every night looking out at loch corrib. Plenty of space for our group of 8 and 2 dogs. Could do with a bit of an update inside. Outside maintenance needing done. Windows very dirty. Road into property very overgrown and hard to find. No welcome pack. Dogs loved running about large garden. Overall positive experience but could have been better given price

Beautiful and Quiet Yet Easy Access to Galway and Connemara
Our family of four had a vacation booked in the area exactly two years ago at another property, and then COVID intervened in our plans. Fortunately, when travel opened up this property was available. As other reviews indicate, a great location and views, easy check-in and check-out, comfortable, and more than enough room to stretch out. We didn't have trouble finding the house, and the only negative was wondering if we had figured out the Irish recycling requirements!

week's getaway
I enjoyed my week down at Carrowmoreknock. I live in Dublin and have family in another part of Galway and was great to get to see them. I have two young dogs and it was great for them to have the freedom around the grounds and the Lough. It was also great to have family over.

Wonderful location and property
The property has excellent facilties and a beautiful view of the lake and surrounding area. It has a great heating system also in case of chilly days. Its extremely homely and the simplest check in/check out system I've seen. Support is on hand whenever needed. I would absolutely stay here again. Perfect accommodation.

Eine Woche in Anam Samh
Wir haben eine traumhafte Woche in Anam Samh am Lake Corrib verbracht, eines der schönsten Häuser, in denen wir bis jetzt gewesen sein. Groß, gemütlich eingerichtet, sehr sauber, mit allem Komfort und einem atemberaubenden Seeblick. Vielen, vielen Dank für dieses wunderschöne Zuhause für eine Woche.

Traumhafte Lage, großes, sehr gut ausgestattetes Haus
Wir konnten uns prima entspannen. Das Haus ist großzügig gestaltet und mit vielen schönen Ecken gut durchdacht. Die Ausstattung ist exzellent, es hat wirklich an gar nichts gefehlt. Die direkte See lage garantiert Erholung. In Punkto Sauberkeit darf man allerdings nicht kritisch sein, hier ist Luft nach oben.

Und am Ende der Straße steht ein Haus am See...
Wir reisten mit 4 Personen und 4 Generationen. Die Lage des Hauses war traumhaft schön, die Küchenausstattung hervorragend (wir konnten alles inkl der Gewürze benutzen), die Einkaufsmöglichkeit (ca 15 Minuten mit dem Auto) ließ keine Wünsche offen. Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber klappte nach anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten (das lag aber sehr wahrscheinlich an dem Postfach von fewo) sehr gut und unsere Gastgeber waren für uns ansprechbar. Wie wir im umgekehrten Fall für sie auch. Wir haben die Ruhe und den Blick auf den See sehr genossen und bedanken uns für die Möglichkeit unseren Urlaub dort beginnen zu können.

Spacious, comfortable house in an outstanding location on Lough Corrib
Beautiful , well equipped house in a perfect location for visiting Connemara, Galway etc. Lots of information on things to do and detailed explanations of how to use all the equipment in the house. A perfect place to get away from it all. And, of course, if you like fishing, the house is on the shore of one of Ireland's most famous trout lakes.

Tolles Haus direkt am See mit unverbauter Aussicht
Komfortabel eingerichtetes Ferienhaus. Es fehlt an nichts und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Auch das Wetter hat mitgespielt. Alles in allem empfehlenswert für Fischersleute, Singles, Familien mit Kindern und Pensionierte.

Die Lage des Hauses ist ein Traum, keine Nachbarn und direkt am See.
Das Haus ist mit allem was man benötigt ausgestattet. Genügend Bäder und eine Fußbodenheizung. Es fehlt einfach an nichts. Es gibt in der Nähe genügend Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und nach Galway sind es auch nur 15 bis 20 Minuten. Kann ich jedem empfehlen der einfach seine Ruhe haben möchte, um mal die Seele mit Blick auf den See, baumeln zu lassen. Einfach nur Schön. Wir waren mit fünf Personen in dem Haus und sind uns einig, des der Urlaub ohne dieses Haus nur halb so schön gewesen wäre.

Idyllisch gelgen mit sehr guter Ausstattung
Wir waren zu drei Paaren und einem 14 monate altem Kind dort. Die Zimmer und Bäder waren wunderbar ausreichend. Das Haus hat eine sehr schöne Atmosphäre mit viel Holz in der ersten Etage. Der Kamin mit selbt gehacktem Holz gibt abends im Wohnzimmer eine heimelige Atmosphäre. Im Haus gibt es eine sehr hilfreiche Informationsbroschüre mit Infos und guten Tips für Unternehmungen. Die Küche ist super ausgestattet. Alles in allem wunderbar und sehr zu empfehlen.
