Cottage view of Streamstown Bay The old part of the house, which dates from 1830, has a sod roof.  You don't often see those.  The house is on two acres with wild grasses and cornflowers and there are many old stone walls separating the homesteads.  Streamstown Bay is directly in front of the house and there is a small beach.  A picnic table is at the side of the house, but it can be moved to the front so you can dine closer to the water.  Seals come occasionally to frolic near the shore.

Ballyconnelly Golf Course is 20 km from the house.  The terrific village of Clifden is 5 killomerers/4 miles.  Dublin 197 km.

Babies are warmly welcomed, but the house is not suitable for walking toddlers or children under 10 because of the proximity of the tidal bay.  A baby's cot and high chair are available for your use.  This is a strict non-smoking property.
