  • Delightful seaside cottage with direct access to the sea from the tropical garden

  • Handsome rustic interiors perfectly reflect the colour palette of the unspoilt natural surroundings
Property code: OC-I223

Enjoy stunning coastal views from this delightful two-bedroom stone cottage nestled in a small bay area with many islands, historic remains and fine sandy beaches to explore a stone’s throw from the doorstep. Head to the small village of Carna, 4 miles away, nestled at the head of the Iorras Aithneach Peninsula, to explore the beautiful unspoilt rocky hills of Connemara on foot or two wheels. Reconnect with the sea whilst spotting the resident otters and seals on your doorstep by heading down the rocky footpath in the garden to the shoreline or enjoy the sandy shores of Moyrus Beach (3 miles), Mweenish Beach (8 miles) or Rusheennamanagh Beach (7 miles). Keen walkers can conquer the hillside of Cnoc Mordáin, 14.5 miles away, to be rewarded with magnificent views across the mountains of Connemara and South Mayo.

An entrance hallway welcomes you into the cottage and leads to the spacious kitchen/diner, complimented by a characterful wood-clad ceiling and rustic farmhouse-style decor, which boasts everything you need for self-catering and dining with loved ones. Back through the hallway, you’ll find a contemporary shower room and a charming bunk bedroom suitable for children. Upstairs, the lounge area offers stunning panoramic views across the bay through the large picture window, plus plenty of comfortable chairs for you to sit back and admire the view. You’ll find more wonderful seaside views upstairs in the light and bright double bedroom that completes this comfortable cottage.

Complimented by an array of tropical planting and mature shrubs, admire stunning coastal views as you dine alfresco on the patio in the beautifully designed garden. Venture down the set of stone steps to the delightful lawn and rocky pathway that leads directly onto the shoreline.

A unique place to relax and enjoy. This was our the 3rd stay and we can only repeat our description from June 2023. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and watched the seals and the changing weather from the upper floor. It was like coming home for us now. A special thanks to the owners. We'll be back!

The view from the windows was glorious, we drove all over Connemara and didn't find a better view than the one from the cottage. Wildlife watching and swimming direct from the back door! We had a wonderful holiday. Thank you!

It is a simple little cottage and the furniture / furnishings are not the latest. But everything is available that you need. The location is simply unique and Noreen & Brendan are extremely friendly / helpful. The large windows on the top floor are the highlight and offer a wonderful view of the bay. There you can watch seals and otters. Even in baRead mored weather you always have something to see. We were now 2x for a total of 4.5 weeks there and will always come back. Connemara is simply wonderful ..... I apologize for the google translation. Hide
