This charming cottage set on 5 acres of private land that runs down to the nearby lake sleeps four guests across two twin rooms, making it the ideal base for couples or groups of friends with up to three dogs in tow. This quiet, peaceful location offers stunning views of the Roundstone Bog, nearby lakes, and the Twelve Bens mountain range. The property is just 3 miles from Ballyconneely, for shops and a restaurant, and is the ideal location to explore the Wild Atlantic Way, as the cul-de-sac is off the main Roundstone to Clifden road. The beautiful and secluded, sandy stretches of Dog’s Bay and Gurteen Beach are less than 5 miles away, where you can try your hand at snorkelling, kayaking, paddleboarding or windsurfing. The safe and sandy beaches along the rugged Connemara coastline are perfect for walks or relaxing days building sandcastles and enjoying a picnic. Discover the local area and explore Connemara National Park (20 miles) for hiking, walking and poetry trails, historic Kylemore Abbey & Gardens (20 miles), or take a boat trip to the Aran Islands. The drive to the picturesque port of Roundstone (6 miles) passes lakes and rivers. On arrival, explore the culture and arts associated with this old, traditional fishing village.
