Escape into nature with a stay at this pretty cottage. Sitting on the northern end of Lough Corrib, you are within walking distance to the river, which boasts particularly rich flora and fauna and is of great interest to anglers and botanists alike. The nearest shop and pub are 3.5 miles away in Coramona, whilst just a 9-mile drive takes you to the picture-postcard shores of Lough Nafooey. For scenic walks through mountainous ranges and neverending green landscapes, then Maam Valley (4.5 miles) is well worth a visit.

This former rectory is well furnished, spacious and welcoming – perfect for any group holiday. Entering into this cosy cottage, you will find a sizeable living room with pillowy seating, an open fire and a TV/DVD. Alternatively, guests can take a few private moments in the sun lounge, which is also equipped with plenty of seating. The kitchen/diner has an oven/hob, fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher, so you have everything you could possibly need, while the utility room holds the washing machine and tumble dryer for storing and cleaning walking gear. There is also a bathroom with a bath, bidet and WC. At bedtime, you will find three of the five bedrooms on the ground floor – two double bedrooms and one with two single beds. All contain en-suites. Upstairs on the second floor, two bedrooms containing two single beds each offer a great night's sleep. There’s also a bathroom with a WC on this floor.
