Description

Embrace the tranquillity of County Galway’s lakes and mountains on a stay at this charming, family-friendly cottage. Boasting a beautiful private garden surrounded by 5 acres of land, the property is the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of everyday life. What’s more, the sandy bay of Callow Strand lies less than a mile away for invigorating beach walks with sublime scenery at all times of the year.

Welcoming you inside is the open-plan kitchen/living room/diner, filled with natural light through the large French doors. The space is warmed by a characterful wood burner, surrounded by comfortable seating and idyllic views to help you to truly unwind during your break. When it’s time to get creative in the kitchen, the room has been cleverly designed to make the most of a small space and ensure you have everything you need for mealtimes. The sleeping arrangements comprise two bedrooms, one with a set of twin beds, and the other a set of bunk beds offering versatility. Both bedrooms share the well-appointed family bathroom, decorated in pretty, pastel hues of blue to reflect the local lakes and coastline. Outside, unwind in the sprawling garden space where the sun shines and the views of your surroundings will wow. A cute and scenic picnic bench beckons al fresco breakfasts and dinners.

Avid walkers can relish the opportunity to walk a stretch of the Wild Atlantic Way, accessible within a mile, whilst the lakes of Maumeen and Barrowen (within 2 miles) ensure a diversity of trails right on your doorstep. For something more challenging, the Twelve Bens mountain range (17 miles) is home to 22 peaks ranging from 100 metres to 729 metres in elevation with breathtaking scenery and a vast variety of wildlife, flora and fauna to spot along the pathways.

Reviews

Absolutely marvellous, we only booked our trip to Ireland after 28 years once we knew we could book this cottage again - but unfortunately the house is for sale now.

Mr W,

Lovely cosy cottage in great location. Well equipped. Excellent access. Good outdoor space. It is small but in a bijou way!

Ms M,

Excellent accommodation, this was my fifth stay in this property. A bit basic or small for some people. The key holder is a character and made me feel very welcome.

Mr G,

Nick was very helpful and kind. If you love peace and quiet and nature, this accommodation, far from everything but with a nearby easement, in Ballyconneely is for you... We recommend: Aaelsagh Falls, Cregg Peak, Diamond's Hill, Dog's Bay, Galway. Final advice: Get lost; it's the best way to discover...

Mr F,

Excellent location. Heard nothing in the morning but birdsong. Wonderful beach nearby at Glassilaun. Would highly recommend.

Mr P,

Magical, peaceful location. Close to the special beaches around Ballyconeely and Roundstone. Comfortable cottage, well equipped for an escape from our turbulent world. Great for dogs too, though you will need to watch them with all the sheep close by.

Ms M,
