Traditional Fisherman's Thatched Cottage on The Wild Atlantic Way. Directly located and overlooking the beautiful Galway Bay yet only a 5-minute walk along the road onto the local Geninagh Beach. A direct mountain path leads you up onto The Burren Mountains. The famous Holy Pinnacle Well a 50 meter walk and the Private Pier also nearby. Loughlan's Clan historic Castle also nearby approx. 250m walk. Also with the newly opened Burren Whisky Distillery now in operation also worth a visit approx. 600m walk.
Owner of this lovingly self restored traditional Irish thatched fisherman's cottage.
Nestled and set back on the road fronting directly on The Wild Atlantic Highway overlooking Galway Bay and the Mountains of Connemara beyond. Yet only a short hop of 2.5km into the town of Ballyvaughan hosting a local Spa Food Shop, Post Office, Fuel Station, Church and numerous bars & restaurant's also including a fast food takeaway. Direct walking and hiking access 250m walk from the cottage onto the Gleninagh Mountain range of The Burren linking directly to Cappanawalla towards Ballyvaughan and Murrooghkilly out over to Fanore. Beach and fishing access onto The Rhine along the road around 200m walk back towards Ballyvaughan. In the direction of Fanore walk up to the Historic Medieval Church, stop by at Loughlan's Castle and onto Gleninagh Pier which is also located in the immediate area.
