About this property
Old Thatch Cottage in the Burren views over Galway Bay on the Wild Atlantic Way
A rare old fully renovated Fisherman’s Thatched Cottage nestled into the Burren Mountain on the Wild Atlantic Way close to the nostalgic village of Ballyvaughan Galway Bay. Having uninterrupted direct sea views over Galway and the Connemara Mountains beyond, with only a short walk of approximately 150m to the Beach. To the rear of the cottage direct country views of the Burren Mountain with walking/hiking access route within approximately 300m away. Nearby the famous Seafood Restaurants of Morans The Weir, Linane of Newquay, Monks of Ballyvaughan, Donohue’s of Fanore and Vaughan’s of Liscannor added to the perfect pint of Guinness with live traditional music 7 nights a week. Doolin, Cliffs of Moher, Kinvara, Burren Nature Reserve, The Ancient Polnabrone and the Bird Sanctuary are only a short drive away up onto the Burren Mountain. Oranuisce also has a local bus that connects very close to the front door taking you to and from Ennis, Galway and connections onto Dublin.
