Connemara, County Galway, Ireland

Accommodates 5 - 6
3 bedrooms

This is a recently renovated cottage that has gone from mess to gem.  When we were first there, the house was a construction site.  We recently returned to see that lll that's changed.  The owner is very proud of it and you'll see why.

Enter into a small hallway.  The living room is on the left.  It has two spiffy leather sofas,  a coffee table, excellent lighting, a turf fireplace, very nice accessories, a TV and DVD player and a wood floor.  Gorgeous custom-made curtains of Connemara tweed grace the large large window that looks toward the front yard.

The cottage is right in the village of Clifden, a lively and sophisticated village in the Connemara area of County Galway.  It is a 1-minute walk to the high street - the photo on the right was taken from the cottage's front yard. 

There are excellent restaurants, authentic pubs, nice shops.  A pebble beach is a few minutes from the cottage. 
Clifden is an excellent base for touring the Connemara, a hauntingly beautiful part of Ireland.  There is much to see and do here: golf, of course, but other things as well.  At every turn, there are activities and attractions, ancient sites, walking and hiking, water sports.  You will never be bored in the Connemara.

Note that the bed in one of the bedrooms is called a double, but it's narrow.  It might be better for one unless two are smallish.  Children are warmly welcomed here.  This is a strict non-smoking property.

ACCESSIBILITY NOTICE:

This cottage is accessible for anyone with moderate mobility limitations.  Two bedrooms and two bathrooms are on the main floor.  There is a slight rise from the sidewalk to the front door.  But it is smooth.
