The cottage is in the perfect location if you want to wind down and relax in beautiful surroundings but there is also the whole of Connemara to explore, with all of its many attractions and activities being within an hour's drive.
The property is maintained and equipped to a very high standard to provide luxury holiday accommodation.
The spacious but cosy triple-aspect lounge has panoramic views of Kilkieran Bay, and the mountains that surround it, out of every window. There is a feature fireplace made from local stone with a wood- (and local peat-) burning stove. There is also underfloor heating. For entertainment there is a 49" Smart satellite television (includes the main UK channels), a DVD/CD player and free Wifi. There is a good selection of books, DVDs, games and jigsaw puzzles - for all ages.
There are three bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms with showers and there is also a family bathroom which has a jacuzzi bath with shower over.
The cottage has a fully-equipped kitchen with a double oven/grill and separate induction hob, microwave and a dishwasher. The washing machine and tumble dryer are in a separate utility room. There is a separate dining room with a walk-through from the kitchen. The dining room table seats up to 8 people.
Outside there is a large area of decking with a garden table and 8 seats from which there are uninterrupted views over Kilkieran Bay and the Maam Turk mountain range. The very large lawn is ideal for playing ball games (balls provided).
