The master bedroom suite is upstairs.  It consists of a separate study that has a desk and two comfortable futon chairs, cupboards built into knotty pine walls and windows that look to the Twelve Bens Mountains and the Emlaghnabehy Lake and the sea.  It would be the perfect place to do those exercises you've promised yourself you'll do when you are on holiday.

The cottage is on an acre of deep-green rolling hillside with miles of stone walls.  Horses live in the pasture down the road.  You can walk along the lake side or fish for trout directly in front of the cottage.

You can walk from the cottage for five minutes along a path to the Roundstone bog site which is part of the Connemara National Park.  It is flat bog land that stretches for miles -it's famous for rare flora and wildlife.  You can visit the ruins of the Marconi radio site where, in 1907, the first trans-Atlantic radio message was sent from here to North America. And you can visit the site where Alcott and Brown landed after the first trans-Atlantic flight from Newfoundland. 

You are close to piers for buying fresh fish and lobsters.  Golfers will be happy to be less than 3 miles (4.5 kilometers) from the Connemara Golf Course in Ballyconneely.  The castle in the photo on the right is on the road to the golf course.  There is a wonderful pre-famine walled garden and a special hidden forest of oak trees - both within 5 to 10 minutes walk of the cottage.
