The surrounding area is a haven for walkers and cyclists as you can set off from the doorstep to explore the local countryside.At night if it is clear the stars are an amazing sight to see, they really do look like diamonds in the sky, and you will definitely see some shooting stars. The market town of Tuam is 8 miles which has a large selection of pubs and restaurants and the villages of Kilconly has a shop which is 2km and Milltown which has a playground and tennis courts and a beautiful river walk with picnic tables is 2km and also has a shop ,petrol station and a selection of Pubs and Restaurants. A little further afield but an easy drive is Lough Mask, Lough Corrib, Westport Town which has the imposing Croagh Patrick, The stunning Connemara Park, also the City of Galway is Only a 40min drive, your choices will be endless. FISHING Hilltop House is an ideal base for fishermen interested in pusuing the famed wild trout and salmon of the great Western Lakes of Corrib, Mask and Carra. Some of the best game fishing in Europe can be experienced on these waters, and the mayfly hatches in particular are legendary. Those more interested in coarse angling will not be disappointed either, with excellent pike fishing also available on the lakes. Ballinrobe is only 24km from the house and is the perfect place to organise a ghillie or boat for any of the Great Lakes. If you are lucky enough to bag a nice keeper or two why not return to Hilltop House, throw the fish onto the barbeque and enjoy the stunning view, as the sun dips behind Croagh Patrick on the Western horizon. If the weather happens to rule out an outing on the lakes, the Clare River is barely a stones throw from the house and has a healthy stock of sizeable brown trout, as well as plenty of pike. If conditions are right, you might even hook yourself a salmon! A permit from the local angling Club is required for the Clare River. The contact there for trout and salmon fishing is: Ian Callander, Secretary Tuam Anglers Association, Permits can also be obtained from the Rustic Vaults, Vicar Street, Tuam.

Lovely House, Lovely Location, Lovely Owners!
I stayed at Hilltop House at the end of October 2014 with my extended family (sons, brothers and nephews) proper men/boys bonding holiday for my mother's 70th birthday, who only lives 15 minutes from Kilkonly. House couldn't have been more welcoming.. Plenty of space, well kitted out, everything thing you could possible need for a family stay.. Like a home from home, with it being a good size, my mother didn't have to lift a finger for her birthday, as we did all the entertaining/cooking for her.. Would highly recommend this rental and will be staying again.

Great house in perfect spot
Just returned from a four night stay, travelling with my 2 sisters and our husbands & children. The house is fantastic the owners have thought of all groups it is really well set out & equipped. We used it as our base for visiting relatives in nearby Tuam (approx 15 mins )and found it great for spending relaxed evenings together. The views are stunning. We will be back!

Beautiful, spacious and well equipped house
Stayed here for 3 nights in mid July. Used it as a base to tour Galway city and the area in and around Cong, Lough Corrib and Lough Mask. The house was excellent, very clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. We choose this house in particular to cater for the needs of elderly and partially disabled members of our party. Having two of the bedrooms on the ground floor with level access showers and grab rails was perfect for their needs. All rooms in the house are very spacious and well laid out and furnished to a high standard. A further two bedrooms on the 1st floor level also come with ensuites. There is a seperate family bathroom on the 1st floor level and a cloakroom with toilet downstairs. The house is situated on a hill and unfortunately due to the unseasonable July weather we experienced during our visit we were unable to use the outdoor dining and seating facitiites which was a shame as I imagine it would be lovely to sit out and admire the view. Having said that you still get a beautiful view from the kitchen/diner/living room. I would highly recommend this house.

Beautiful, huge house!
We stayed in five different locations in Ireland and this house was our favorite! It was beautifully decorated, huge (an American-sized house), the kitchen was well stocked and the appliances were easy to use (finally!), and the price was excellent. We were thrilled with our visit here and wish we could come back with our whole family for an extended trip!

Fabulous house, beautiful location and the perfect 'country escape' destination
We had a wonderful stay in the Hilltop house. The house had a warm 'country feel' with beautiful wooden floors, decor and modern fixtures it felt like a 'home away from home'. The house was immaculate, with excellent showers, soft towels, comfortable beds and plenty of information of things to do in the area not to mention the breathtaking views. We would highly recommend this house to family and friends. We will definitely be back !!
