About this property

The cottage: Situated overlooking the Little Killary and Meelrea towering above is a charming stone cottage. This cottage offers peace and tranquility in ten acres of mountain terrain set in mature trees. The small bay below the cottage is used by local fisherman and is an ideal place to moor or anchor a small boat or negotiate the purchase of some fresh caught fish. The vast expanse of Glassillaun beach is 1.2km from the cottage, this is a world famous beach that has to be seen to be believed. and it is near the base for Scuba Dive West. Within walking distance are Lough Muck and Lough Fee, which are Salmon, sea trout and small brown trout lakes. You must have a licence to fish on these lakes.The nearest village with pub restaurant and hotel is in Tullycross 5.3km away and a shop and petrol station 6km away. The cottage may seem remote but you have every thing you need just a short drive away. Amenities such as the Renvyle House Hotel, Kylemore Abbey, Connemara National Park , Ocean and Country Museum.The cottage itself is cosy with lots of character but is not full of modern appliances. The clients who rent this cottage need to be people who enjoy the outdoor life and can entertain themselves without the distraction of TV. This makes it perfect for the couples or families who really want to escape the fast track of life

Very nice place

We liked the stay and the house very much. Garden furniture was unfortunately not available. With garden furniture and barbecue the whole would have been unsurpassable. Very quiet place, well suited for relaxation and reflection. Very beautiful landscape We can recommend the house.

Little Killary cottage

Beautiful location there are just a few things that should be sorted with the property. The house has damp on the inner walls in the bedrooms which leave a musty smell not good for people with chest ailments. The incline up to the gate badly needs repairing as there is a large pothole and a lot of loose gravel that cause the wheels to spin as you drive through the gate.The heating within the cottage needs to be updated it states on a laminated piece of paper on the wall in the kitchen that the fire heats the back boiler which it certainly doesnt. I found that out when the immersion switch went and couldn't be fixed for well over a day. I honestly dont think it was worth the 800 euro for the week. Other than that its clean and peaceful and the lack of connection to the internet is great.

Peaceful cosy base for exploring Connemara

This was our second visit to this lovely cosy house in the trees. It is a complete break from everything, so tranquil and relaxing. Also not far from beautiful Glassilaun Beach, Tully pier for jumps and all the fab walks and adventures in the area.

Stephens cottage

We had a lovely stay in Stephens Cottage. Very old world cottage in a beautiful secluded setting. Lots of beautiful local photography on the walls and plenty of excellent reading material. It is kept cosy with electric storage heaters, however the electricity costs payable at the end of stay are expensive. The cottage could do with a fresh lick of paint and the grounds although beautiful would benefit from a few paths cut through the wilderness in order to enjoy.
