About this property

Luxury Connemara Cottage With Panoramic Views Of The Sea And Mountains

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).

Although the cottage is in a get-away-from-it-all location, Connemara's many attractions and activities are in easy reach, all within an hour by car. Here are just a few:

The picturesque fishing village of Roundstone
Kylemore Abbey with its walled garden
Ferries to the Aran Islands with its ancient ring forts
Sea trips down Killary Fjord
Excellent restaurants
Bars with live Irish music
Shopping in Galway and Clifden
Quiet sandy beaches
Numerous walks and hikes
Fishing
Cycling
Horse riding
3 golf courses

So you can do as much, or as little, as you like!

Wonderful haven

Fantastic cottage in Rosmuc. It’s about 5 km off the main road in a little hamlet with stunning views on all sides - sea and hills. The house is immaculately clean, with plenty of space for a family of 5, with 3 grown-up children. The kitchen has everything you will need. The living room has views on three sides, so no matter the weather you can be immersed in the landscape. The solid fuel stove keeps the space toasty warm. On good days the garden has seats to sit outside. Just be aware that you’re advised not to drink the water from the taps, so bring bottled water. Enjoy!!

Amazing location, property and owner!

Beautifully clean, cosy and welcoming. Furniture and fittings are of the best quality and very well cared for. Very good communication from Mike, the owner, who goes the extra mile to make sure you really enjoy your stay and have everything you need. The views from every window are stunning and the location very peaceful. We look forward to returning.

Perfect!

From the very first contact with Mike he was incredibly helpful ranging from giving us advice on the ferry and directions through to supermarkets and places to visit. He genuinely cared that we had a good time, and we absolutely did! The cottage is beyond words! Exactly as described, but no words can adequately convey the views, the scenery and the comfort of the cottage. Yes, it is remote but that is the point. Still plenty of opportunity to visit tourist attractions and shop for supplies, but the peace and quiet can't fail to relax you from the moment you arrive. We stayed at the end of March so the log / peat fire was delightfully cosy. Beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything you need. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return at some point.

A wonderful holiday worth every penny

Everything was as advertised or as communicated by the home owner. Communication was great, including the detailed directions to the cottage from the airport and details of local supermarkets. The cottage was spotlessly clean and of a very high quality, it was welcoming and provided everything we needed for our stay. There was no skimping on fuel for the fire, or heating and the clear instructions on laying/ working a peat fire we’re really helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay and for going the ‘extra mile’ in all things including weather warnings, which enabled us to stock up so we could huddle down with emergency bickies and enjoy the show of Connemara being both wild and beautiful.

Visit to County Galway

A beutiful property with fantastic views which change with the weather. Property was spotless and had everything for a getaway from it all holiday. Having a car is essential as you are out on a peninsula. Local shop /post office which is about 2miles away has everyhthing and they are very friendly and they like to have a little chat with anyone who comes in. Mike the owner was very helpful and provided lots of information about the area. There are plenty of maps at the property to enable you to go and explore the beutiful beaches and the surrounding area. Thanks Mike a great holiday.

Beautiful cottage in stunning surroundings

I searched the internet with the words ‘idyllic Galway cottage with views’ and this cottage came up. My goodness, it exceeded expectation in all ways! The cottage is beautiful throughout. It is furnished and equipped to a very high standard, the rooms are large and the bedrooms have more than enough storage space. The bathrooms are gleaming and the jacuzzi bath is an added treat. We had mainly beautiful weather for the time of year, but it was chilly on a night, so we lit the peat/wood burner each evening, which added to the ambience of the beautiful living room. The views out of all windows are picture postcard perfect. Mountains, sea and islands in all directions, with the scenery changing depending on the weather and light. Mike, the cottage owner is so helpful and informative and he gave us some fantastic ideas of places to visit in the area that we may not have discovered ourselves. The drive across country to Kylemore Abbey through Inagh Valley is stunning, as are the white sands of Dogs Bay. Take a walk down to the little harbour (turn right out of the drive and follow the road to the end). You may collect several local dogs along the way, but they all seemed friendly and the view at the end is worth the walk. Can’t wait to visit again to do the things we didn’t get round to this time.

Wonderful return stay!

We returned to this beautiful cottage for a one week stay. The overall quality of the property continues to be impressive making it a lovely place to spend time in. The surrounding scenery is exceptional at any time of the year and the views from the windows of the property are truly stunning. We highly rate this property for a whole range of reasons. The cottage provides a tranquil escape from it all whilst having plenty to see and do in easy travelling distance. If you want to experience Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way this wonderful Connemara property is ideal.

Idyllic getaway

This was our first trip to Ireland and we will definitely be back. Michael gave us thorough directions to the cottage and explained everything we needed. There is a village shop close by but not much else in the way of services but this adds to the appeal of the cottage as it means you are really getting away from it all. The cottage itself is first class, everything you will need is here Michael seems to have thought of everything to make your stay outstanding, we particularly loved the lounge with windows on every side offering stunning views. The cottage is about half an hour from the nearest beach and pub and an hour from most other attractions. This is not a problem, if you want a totally relaxing, get away from it all holiday this is for you. We loved the peace and quiet and an added bonus was the star gazing which was amazing due to the lack of light pollution. There are plenty of pubs round and about offering excellent food, the seafood chowder is a speciality. Stay at this cottage you won't regret it.

Luxury by the Sea

This was our second stay at this lovely property. The setting is absolutely stunning. The house is equipped to the highest standards and everything you need is provided. The property was spotlessly clean. Mike is very easy to deal with. The location may appear remote, but is in fact in easy reach of many of the attractions in the area, with the added bonus that driving to these takes you through fabulous scenery.

Another wonderful stay!

This was our second visit to the cottage returning because of the high quality it offers. It is second to none! Both in terms of the comfort and cleanliness of the property paired with the 360 degrees of outstanding scenery. The owners manage the property with a refreshing level of attention to detail, the maintainence and warm welcome by Eileen is also of a very high standard. The cottage is spacious, well equipped as a home from home, decorated and furnished beatifully. There is so much to see locally and plenty of fantastic beaches nearby to explore. It is clear that the property and its location would suit many, from our perspective it makes a perfect family break. We will book again!

Fantastic holiday

The cottage we stayed at was definitely the best place we have ever stayed at. the cottage was cozy, spacious, warm, clean and most of all had some stunning views out of all the windows. Also the underfloor heating was a massive luxury. It was a great base for us. There was loads of places to eat and the local shops are very beneficial as it had all the goods for you. A car is essential as some of the amazing places that everyone will love is only 30-40 minutes away. The locals are very friendly (Trip to the Arran isle).

Outstanding cottage in a fantastic location

If you are looking to explore Connemara and want a base that is welcoming and very comfortable this property will not disappoint. The cottage is located in an area of fantastic scenery and has views of the Wild Atlantic Way and spectacular mountains. The property is finished to a high specification and all visitor needs have been considered with well thought out information on the property and the local/wider area. The cottage is well equipped for a family, the decor is of a very high standard and it is immaculately clean. Mike the owner and Eileen who takes care of the property were really friendly and helpful. We have already recommended to family and friends and would definitely book again. A perfect stay in a truly beautiful part of Ireland!

What an amazing stay!

What an amazing week we had! The cottage was faultless, we had seven people staying and because it is so spacious we still felt we had plenty of room. The views are beautiful from every window; mountains and the sea. The area is lovely, we made use of the two bikes provided to explore the area. There is plenty to do and beautiful places to visit just a short drive from the cottage and the local area was great to eat out, the boat inn at Oughterard serves great food as does O'Dowds in Roundstone. We visited the local lead and silver mine which was good fun and had a lovely walk around the white beaches of Dogs Bay. Also the ferry to the Aran Islands is only 30 -40 minutes away which is definitely worth a visit! We all had a fantastic stay and would love to go back. Thank you Mike it was great!

prepare to be blown away

The pictures on the site don't do justice to this beautifully kept house. Every room has an amazing aspect out to the Wild Atlantic Way. if you want to experience peace, tranquility, and stay in a spiritual place then this is for you. The house is remote but that's the beauty of it. Everything in the house from the beds, linen, towels and kitchen equipment is of the highest quality. I stayed here for a week with my two teenage sons and it was just magical. There a lots of DVD's to watch when the weather turns to keep you entertained. The location of the house allows you to explore Connemara, galway and Mayo comfortably. There is lots to see and do and being in the Gaeltacht is charming. We ate out in Kilkeiran, Galway and Cong and the food was amazing especially the seafood chowder and mussels. Dealing with Mike was a pleasure and he was always on hand as was Eileen. I would have no reservations in recommending this beautiful place

Wonderful house, beautiful views

This is the perfect 'get away from it all' house in a beautiful location. The house is very comfortable, warm and well-equipped. The views of the sea and mountains are just beautiful. There is plenty of information about the local area on things to do and visit, and the house is well stocked with games, puzzles, books and dvds, should the need arise. There is also a good wifi connection. The location is fairly remote and we were made well aware of this prior to booking by the owner, Mike. Thankfully this didn't put us off. We were on holiday for 2 weeks with our two sons (aged 13 and 9) and they loved the house and location also, enjoying the freedom of walking or cycling around the peninsula. The owner Mike and housekeeper Eileen were very welcoming and were available at all times to answer any questions. We would thoroughly recommend this house as a base of touring Connemara and the extended region, and also as a place to just 'get away from it all'. If we were to return to Connemara, we wouldn't hesitate to book here again. Graham and Rosalind, Carrickfergus

Perfect Place for Peace, Relax and Explore

We made a round trip in Ireland with first a couple of days in the Southwest before staying a week in this beautiful cottage in Connemara. Apart from its perfect location with great views the house is very comfortable - big rooms, top kitchen, warm and big lounge with top entertainment as well as fast internet connection which was important to us. The owner Mike was very helpful before, during and after our stay. Mike stated that in advance that his cottage is remote but we used it also as base to explore Connemara - and also Mayo up to Donegal. At this time of the year and with all the sunshine we had absolutely no problem to make the miles per car as road conditions are excellent. We had even enough time to do some longer trails such as Diamond Hill in Connemara NP or Croagh Patrick in Mayo. To summarize if you look for a place to relax in luxury and/or to explore great sites in the Irish countryside this luxury cottage is the place to be.

Perfection

We were visiting Ireland to celebrate our Siver wedding anniversary and have a bit of a relaxing get away from it all break. On arrival at the cottage we could not believe the surrondings and views. The cottage was perfect and had an lovely homely feel, clean and well equipped to a extremely high standard. The under floor heating made it feel constantly warm and cosy. Lot's in the area to visit and easily filled our days with lovely places to explore or just walking on the beach with the dog. We were so impressed with the cottage, Micheal the owner and Eileen the housekeeper we have already booked for 2 weeks next year. Before, during and after the visit communication with Micheal was fast and nothing was too much trouble for him,emails were answered in full with great details of the area supplied also. We couldn't fault anything from start to finish and would not hesitate to recommend this cottage to anybody. Andy and Trish Norfolk

QUALITY CONNEMARA COTTAGE

My wife and I were privileged to enjoy a wonderful 15 day stay in this superb cottage. We were unable to find any fault. The cottage provides very good views towards the sea and mountains in an environment that forces one to unwind, relax and converse with nature in all its beauty. Eileen was exceptionally helpful in greeting us on arrival as well as maintaining contact during our stay to ensure that we had an enjoyable holiday (even visiting us during a bad storm to ensure we were OK). The owner also made contact to ensure a similar outcome. We were also very impressed by the extent and quality of equipment in the house including a fully equipped kitchen that would satisfy the most fastidious guest. The highlight was the excellent WiFi and heating, including more than sufficient fuel supplies for the fire. It was a wonderful cottage.

Heaven on earth

As the title says this place is heaven on earth. Tranquil, dramatic, beautiful scenery. Exceptional house, attention to detail is second to none. Very clean & well maintained both internally/externally. Some fantastic places to visit most of them within an hour's drive. There was never a problem with communication, Michael was always available & very knowledgeable about the area. We stayed as a family of 4, 2 adults/2 children who did not want to leave this place! We hope to make this an annual event we loved it sooo much!!

Luxurious and well thought-out

We were delighted with this holiday cottage - it had everything we needed and was very well thought-out, with lots of books and guides for things to do. The layout was really spacious so that we felt very relaxed, and the property was very clean. Unfortunately we didn't get much use of the outdoor furniture because it was quite cold in the evenings. However, we used the upstairs sky-light to do some incredible star gazing and chanced upon a meteorite shower! The view out over the sea is amazing in daylight and at night.

Peace perfect peace!

This property met all our expectations giving us the space we enjoy as a couple but easy to see how it would suit families or a group of friends. Great views, great sunsets - just magical. Galway, Roundstone, Clifden, all worth a visit and within easy reach by car. Kylemore Abbey is a must. Absolutely amazing setting, great food in the visitor centre. Best Irish stew I've had for a long time. We slept like logs due to the very comfortable bed and the blissful quietness. We would most certainly highly recommend this lovely cottage and we look forward to returning in the near future. Michael (owner) was a great host and a pleasure to deal with. Despite our late arrival from England, he was there to greet us and show us round which was so very much appreciated.

Really impressive

What a great house. Really good and comparatively good value against similar houses. This was a lovely house with great facilities, really clean and the stove heater (turf and logs provided) was brilliant on the rainy day we arrived. A real home away from home and only 30 mins from Ros a Mhil (Rossaveal) if you want to catch the ferry to the Aran Islands (which we did - even got sunburnt - which we wernet expecting). It is a great size and was very comfortable for the 2 families. Would highly recommend....the deck was great too and the view stunning. The location is just remote enough with lots of lovely attractions within an hour drive - albeit on bumpy roads but you would expect that in Connemara...did something great every day...would highly recommend the Killary fjord cruise (they even let my daughter drive the boat) and the Aran Islands..Clifden (about an hour away) is a lovely town and the Station house is great for food and really good value compared to Dublin prices. Cong is also worth a visit (Ashford Castle etc) and loads of Quiet man references. Finally watched the movie which was in the house on DVD. The kids loved the Jacuzzi bath too - great laughs! We had a lovely holiday here and would have no qualms in recommending it to others.
