The Shepherd's Hut was wonderful. A great place to relax but the location also made for a good base if you wanted to explore Galway and the surrounding area. The hosts were amazing, really friendly and great communication

We loved how cozy and quiet it was. The place was very cute and peaceful for a perfect holiday. Kevin and Denis (the owners) were very nice and welcoming to us. We highly recommend it.

I can't describe how lucky we were to have had the chance to stay at the Shepherd's Hut. Everything was perfect. It is one of the main reasons—if not the reason—that I will be returning to Ireland every year. It is the coziest and nicest place I...

I’ve rarely been so sad to leave somewhere. The setting, comfort, peacefulness, amenities, welcome, warmth, outdoor space, sheep and lambs outside the window… it’s a very special place.

Self catering property in the countryside with lambs in fields and outside firepit with chairs to enjoy the sunset. Equidistant from Galway and Cong. We did the private hawk walk with Falconry Ireland in Cong which was amazing. Lovely hosts...

If you want to get away from it all and enjoy a relaxing stay somewhere quiet and relaxing then this unique hand crafted shepherds hut is perfect for you. Situated 15 minutes from Galway city and close to Ashford castle and Cong it is the ideal base to explore Galway and Connemara. The Shepherds hut has a large double bed bathroom and a kitchen. It also has a large garden in which you can relax and stargaze or enjoy a beautiful sunset. We are located down a quiet country lane which offers peaceful walks and lots of animals and local wildlife to admire. We offer a welcome hamper on arrival and we live just down the lane in a three hundred year old thatch cottage so we are on hand should you have any queries .
We live just down the lane from the hut so if you need any advice or tips on the local area we are here to help. We are keen gardeners so there is an abundance of fresh flowers and veg in the summer. Denise is a wonderful cook as well so guests can expect lots of tasty treats and soda bread.
If you want to switch off from everything or you are looking for a romantic stay then this Shepherds hut is the place for you. it is very peaceful yet we are 5 minutes drive to local shops and pubs and 15 mins in to Galway city. There are local buses into Galway too and local taxis should you need a lift. There are lots of local walks and we are 5 minutes drive to lough Corrib.
