Connemara, County Galway, Ireland

Accommodates 5 - 6
3 bedrooms

The owner has just renovated this old cottage and he's made it a gem.  He's very proud of it and you'll see why.  When we were last there, the house was a construction site.  All that's changed.

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 window that looks toward the front.

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.  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.

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.
