About this property
A delightful cottage dating back to 1800, which, having undergone extensive refurbishment, now provides modern, spacious and well laid-out accommodation. The comfortable sitting room is perfect for relaxing after a hard day exploring the delights of the area and the oil burner gives the room a cosy feel. Why not sit back and unwind with a glass of wine or two? Outside there is a beautiful decking area perfect for alfresco dining and a spacious lawn providing ample space to run about and burn off any excess energy, perfect for the little ones or the young at heart! The property adjoins Ref. 3707 and together they can accommodate 9.
The fishing village of Kilkieran is on the dramatic coastline in County Galway. It features a stone pier and from here visitors can watch the fishermen as they process the day's salmon and seaweed. There are unspoiled beaches just a short drive away, as well as the beautiful National Park of Connemara and the magnificent Connemara Loop. There are many lakes in the area so it is an angler's paradise, and if fishing is not your thing then there are plenty of walking opportunities to take in the glorious scenery. A little further away are the Aran Islands, and a boat trip across to the islands can give you a taste of traditional Irish life. This area is the perfect place to relax and escape for a while.

La maison est propre et confortable,les lits sont douillets ,la terrasse est un plus très agréable quand il fait beau.Le coin repas est sans doute un peu petit ,la route est proche mais le jardin est bien clos et on n'entend pas de bruit à l'intérieur de la maison.Nous avons eu d'excellentes relations avec Alma et John qui sont très aimables et très réactifs en cas de besoin,par exemple quand nous avons manqué d'ustensiles pour la cuisine ,Alma a réglé la question dans l'heure.Un autre point important c'est la proximité immédiate d'un commerce d'alimentation,d'un pub et d'un restaurant (qui malheureusement n'était ouvert qu'en fin de semaine lors de notre séjour).

Comfortable cottage with everything you need. Close to the local shop who have what you might need with a friendly smile and a chat. Good local pub with good food (make a reservation) and the next pub a few Km further has great Guiness, craic and live music. Easy to recommend.
