About this property

Great location for visiting Connemara

The cottage: River Cottage is a beautifully renovated cottage. It is located in a lovely secluded spot off the road. It provides great views over the river. It’s only a 5 minute drive from Clifden and a short walk from the Derrigimlagh Discovery point. Keoghs pub is just up the road for food and supplies. Coral Beach is just 4 mins away, and there are numerous other beaches within a 20 min drive. Connemara Golf club is about a 25 min drive away.
If you are surfers, walkers, or water sports enthusiasts or just want a nice cosy cottage where you can enjoy the open fire in the evenings and coffee on the deck in the morning, this is the cottage for you.

Inside: You enter into a welcoming hallway in the centre of the cottage. Follow the hallway to the right past the first of 3 rooms and you enter into a beautifully decorated open plan living space. From the dining area you step down into a cosy sitting room with an open fire and windows on three sides offering stunning views. You will find comfy couches and a Smart TV and a small library to enjoy – but really you could spend your whole time enjoying the landscape colours changing outside.

Off the dining area, there is a very well equipped kitchen with plenty of counter space to cook up a mighty meal for the whole family or brew a fresh coffee to enjoy on the patio. There is also a small hallway (perfect for dog beds) with a backdoor out to the patio.

To the left on entering the cottage you will find 2 double rooms – one en suite. There is also a family bathroom with a great power shower in the bath. There are three bedrooms in total – two double & 1 with a double & single bed.

Outside you will find a small shed with a washing machine & dryer. There is also space for storing bikes, surfboards, etc. There are 2 patio areas to enjoy when the sun is rising and dropping in the evening.

The mobile phone signal can be a little unreliable but is perfect near the entrance to the property.

July/August 2024 'staycation'

Great location for accessing Connemara for our family of 6. So many lovely picturesque sandy beaches within half hr driving radius without major crowds. Lots of hillwalking/trekking options. Inish Boffin worth a daytrip. Our crew voted Keoghs in Ballyconneely and Veldons in Letterfrack as the best places for eating out. House lovely - comfy, quaint, well done up, all amenities, good wifi, well maintained grounds. Spotless on arrival. Would have no hesitation in booking again.

Great stay at River Cottage

Very homely cottage in excellent location. It was very well equipped and comfortably furnished. Perfect size for our family of 2 adults and 2 children. Nice quiet location close to Clifden and to some amazing beaches. The only very slight downside to this cottage is that the driveway may be a challenge for some vehicles. I would rent this cottage again.
