I hesitate to give this place the superlative review it absolutely deserves because it’s so special and beautiful a situation that selfishly I’d like to keep it to myself and other privileged friends and family!
The outlook is second to none- the 12 Bens loom upwards, seemingly just across the loch. The little jetty is perfect for launching off for a swim in the tranquil loch. The gardens surrounding the cottage are full of wild flowers and I spied a hare one morning.
The cottage is a wonderful traditional building; peaceful, comfortable and warm with thoughtful touches left for us from the welcoming host. It’s a perfect spot for exploring the marvellous beaches west of Clifden as well as the mountains and an easy cycle up to Veldon’s bar in Letterfrack for dinner one night .
We had an amazing time and were sad to leave, I hope we get the chance to visit again.
