Company information

I'm a chef, now retired, but still operate a catering service directly to private homes for family events as well as to corporate and business events. My late wife and myself owned and managed a hotel for many years and more recently I provided a catering service to Oughterard Golf Club. My son has continued with that franchise. Many of my guests here in Carrowntober House previously sated with us in the Hotel. I am open all year around and I very much enjoy looking after my guests, welcoming them if part of my family. During the summer Months I love to BBQ for them, eating and drinking al fresco in my beautiful front lawn.

Property information

I purchased the property in 2000 and completed renovated and modernised it into a purpose built B & B. Presently it is certified four star by Bord Failte Ireland and I'm striving to improve on that. All rooms are en suite and my Guests are welcome to help themselves to tea/ coffee etc. from my kitchen. All Sky channels are available in the lounge, while TV's in bedrooms have the basic home channels. Free Wi Fi is also available throughout the house. Free and unlimited parking available

Neighbourhood information

Property is in a quiet location surrounded by farmland and still only a 5 minute stroll to Oughterard village, which has some fine pubs and restaurants catering for all tastes and budgets. Being on edge of Connemara, guests are within easy driving distances of some of Ireland's and natures most wondrous and scenic places. We offer you free maps and advice to direct you and indeed if you require transport at any time, we are only too pleased to be of assistance. Locally Lough Corrib, with daily boat trips to the islands, or spend time angling for brown trout or pike or playing the magnificent 18 hole Oughterard Golf Course can be very rewarding experience. For those who prefer walking, Oughterard offers some beautiful river and woodland walks of varying length and degrees of difficulty. For the historical and culturally minded a trip to the 14th C Aughnanure Castle, a visit to Glengowla mines, or a visit to Brigit's garden all well worthwhile and rewarding experiences
