Description

For those who love to be beside the sea, this coastal cottage is a dream come true with its private garden set just metres away from the beach. Its charming wood-clad interiors and cosy atmosphere will help you to relax and unwind, whether you’re travelling as a couple or a small family. You can wander across the rocky coastline right from your doorstep for an invigorating walk surrounded by an array of wild flora, fauna and wildlife to soak in the serenity of the area.

Upon entering the property you’ll find yourself in the interesting kitchen/diner which is filled with warm wooden hues and terracotta tones creating a cosy atmosphere. Here, the fully-equipped kitchen ensures you can cook up a feast for all the family, and serve it up on the four-seater dining table. The wooden staircase leads up to the living room with its unusual, curved ceiling and panoramic views over the water where you can sit and watch the world go by, keeping your eyes peeled for any sightings of seals or otters! When it’s time for bed, take your pick from one of the two bedrooms, one of which features a double and the other a set of bunk beds, both in fitting with the rest of the property’s decor. Completing the property is the well-appointed shower room. Outside, the garden is an oasis of calm with a table and chairs for al fresco dining and a selection of plants interspersed between the rocky crags to create a dramatic yet delightful garden area.

Travel just 7 miles and you’ll be surrounded by outdoor activities in Derryclare. The Lough offers a leisurely, whimsical walk at all times of the year, whilst a climb to the Derryclare summit is sure to reward you with awe-inspiring panoramic views over Bencorr and Lough Inagh.

Location

Reviews

Brendan and Noreen were excellent landlords and could not have been more helpful. We took the cottage primarily for its location and more importantly it has its own private slipway into the water. We are sea kayakers and took our own kayaks and all our own gear The sea was accessible from/to the slipway at all states of the tide, including at low water spring tides. We enjoyed our weeks holiday sea paddling. The was plenty of room to park our vehicle as well as store our sea kayaks, at the top of the private slipway. This saves a great deal of time loading and unloading the car and changing at alternative put ins. All the Islands in Bertraghboy Bay are easily reachable by sea kayak from the cottage, as are the Outer Cashel Islands. We particularly enjoyed visiting Mason and Spike Islands as well as Oghly Island. This is a very good location for sea kayakers and SUP boarders, with a good enclosed bay adjacent to the cottage that might appeal more especially to the latter.

Mr R,

We rented the cottage for a week and once again felt very comfortable. We don't need luxurious amenities; everything we need is there. We particularly liked the quiet location and the fantastic view, including seal spotting. As always, contact with Noreen & Brendan was very friendly and uncomplicated. It will always be our favorite place to stay, and we'd love to come back.

Mrs R,

A wonderful place to stay in a great location. The cottage is litteraly by the sea. The hosts are also very caring people. Highly recommend

Mr E,

Beautiful location cottage and cupboard smelt musty.

Mrs Y,

We really enjoyed our all too short week, Noreen and Brendan couldn't have been nicer hosts. So wonderful to be able to open the door and be right by the sea, good comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and the windows looking straight to the sea ..what a view �� Had great swims from Finish Beach and Moyrus ..good walks locally and had clear days to be able to go up one of the Twelve bends. Great supper at Glynsk ..really delicious sea food chowder with Fabulous light wheaten scones and Guiness. Lovely to be in an area with Irish spoken and many families living. So many Orchids and wild early summer flowers out, it really was such a relaxing and peaceful place, wished we could have stayed longer !

Ms C,

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!

Mrs R,

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!

Mr S,

Excellent emplacement. Hôtes présents mais très discrets. La vue depuis le salon et la chambre est magnifique.

Mrs P,

Mrs P,

Wonderful location. We loved this place!
