Connemara Luxury House - Front Patio
The back patio has outdoor furniture for dining and to sit a spell.  This house has gorgeous garden on all sides with mature plants and trees to rival any public garden.  Wander the garden paths and enjoy the bounty and the beauty.

The house is next door to a small country house hotel that used to belong to this house.  You can dine at the hotel or have a drink at the bar or just enjoy walking in their immense garden.

The owners can arrange cleaning and cooking for you at an additional cost with advance notice.   Children are warmly welcomed here.  Deep sea fishing can be arranged.

The Connemara (home of the world-famous Connemara ponies) may be the most haunting area of Ireland, rocky, wet, green, still.  It's difficult to describe, but it's unforgettable.  Horse riding, fishing and walking are available.  Golf courses are nearby, including the renowned course at Ballyconneely.   There are authentic pubs and superb restaurants.  A beach is 6 miles from the property.

Clifden and Roundstone, two village gems, are each a short and spectacular drive.
  Galway is less than an hour's drive southeast, another beautiful drive.  Shannon Airport is 100 miles/160 km.

ACCESSIBILITY NOTICE:

One of the en suite bedrooms is on the ground floor.  A person in a wheelchair could manage with assistance, but the tub is deep.
