Sitting in the heart of Connemara just 1.5 miles from the nearest beach, this romantic bolthole is perfect for a couple looking for a relaxing break exploring everything there is to see and do in the area. The self-contained apartment is ideally placed for wonderful walks. Climb Cnoc Mordáin (14 miles) for wonderful views of the mountains and coast and visit the local beaches for a walk and a paddle. There are several beaches with white sands and crystal waters including, Moyrus (3 miles), Mweenish (8 miles), and Rusheenamanagh (7.5 miles). Book a trip with a guide if you want to visit the uninhabited tidal island of Feenish, which can be reached from Rusheenamanagh at low tide, where the ruins of a castle remain on the north-eastern side of the island and there are pretty meadows and wildflowers.

The cottage is adjoined to the owners’ home and is spread across two floors. Step into the cosy lounge area, perfect for relaxing and watching TV. An archway connects this cosy space to the kitchen, where you’ll find everything you need to cook delicious meals and enjoy them at the dining table. Wooden flooring flow throughout this downstairs space. The shower room is also on the ground floor. From the lounge, stairs lead up to a comfy double bedroom with sloping ceilings and Velux window.

Soak up the incredible views of the sea and surrounding countryside from the enclosed garden, which is shared with the owners.

The final instructions for finding the house are poor as the gateway with cone pillars is not visible from car when driving. Better to say at top of final hill before descent to west coast. Cottage is basic with many kitchen essentials missing and could do with a deep clean. There is no freezer, despite what the website says. Good location though aRead morend reasonably priced. We had a great week but not for you if youre looking for luxury or comfort. Hide

Lovely accommodation for two on the Wild Atlantic Way. Perfect spot for touring Connemara and close enough to Galway. We had a lovely time staying there and the host was really helpful.
