Cottage 170 - Roundstone

The cottage boasts a thoroughly relaxing and quiet seaside location and is just a 1-minute walk to the local bars and restaurants.

The white sandy beaches of the world-famous Dogs Bay and Gurteen Beaches are just 3km away. Enjoy leisurely walks and cycles at the nearby Connemara Greenway, accessible at Ballynahinch, or at nearby Inishnee Island. There are numerous trails and driving routes to explore in the region, including the well-known Roundstone Bog Road and along the Wild Atlantic Way. Sea fishing and boat tours are available locally, Kylemore Abbey and Connemara National Park are just a short drive away. Roundstone village provides lots of places to eat and drink and its shops will supply you with everything you need for your self-catering holiday. Local activities include kayaking and paddleboarding, sea angling, lake, and river fishing, walking trails, hill walking, pony trekking, golf, boat trips and much more.
