Overview
Description
The cottage is on the West Coast of Ireland at the end of the Rosmuc peninsula, in the townland of Garrivinnagh. The surrounding area is known as Connemara in County Galway. It is on the Atlantic side of the "Wild Atlantic Way", the 1,600 mile route that runs down the entire West Coast of Ireland.The Rosmuc peninsula is one part of Ireland where commercialism hasn't arrived; in fact the planning rules mean that it should stay that way. It is located in the "Gaeltacht", an area where Irish remains the first language.
The cottage is surrounded by Kilkieran Bay and, as it is in an elevated position, there are breath-taking views of the sea, islands and mountains out of every window. If you are looking for somewhere to relax, wind down and watch ever-changing skies and beautiful sunsets, this is the place for you.

Connemara is an area of great natural beauty. There is not only the wild Atlantic coastline, but literally hundreds of loughs interconnected by rivers and streams, all against the backdrop of the Twelve Bens and Maam Turk mountain ranges. It is an excellent area for walking or, if you are less energetic, for going for drives through the valleys that separate the Bens and the Turks. Or just off the coast there are the Aran Isles with their unusual rocky landscape and ancient ring forts.
If, however, you are looking for a little more civilisation, the City of Galway is only about an hour's drive away. Galway is a bustling place with a very Irish atmosphere about it. There are street performers to entertain you, pavement restaurants at which to eat and interesting pubs where you can relax and enjoy a pint of Guinness. Galway is always worth a visit, even if it is just for the "Craic" - that's Irish for having a great time!

By Manuel S on 10-Nov-2024Das Ferienhaus hat eine phantastische Aussicht, die man von allen Räumen aus genießen kann. Das Grundstück ist herrlich gelegen und den Kaffee auf der Terrasse haben wir jeden Morgen aufgrund der Aussicht wieder genossen. Der Vermieter war sehr um uns bemüjt.
