Cottage 424 - Cashel - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

A spectacular and luxuriously finished cottage, in a secluded and peaceful location, perched on the seashore at Cashel Bay, Connemara, with direct access to the sea. The main house has 3 bedrooms – sleeping 6, and the separate one-bedroom annex, sleeping 2, allows a total of 8 guests to stay. Offering views of Cashel Hill to the front and Cashel Bay to the rear. This is an ideal property for families and groups of friends who are looking for a luxurious and secluded rural retreat while still being located a short drive from nearby amenities, attractions, towns, and villages. Explore Connemara during the day and relax or entertain at the property in the evenings. The house is a perfect base for exploring the region, or indeed, just for rest and relaxation. Cashel Hill stands majestic at the top of the bay, and it is worth taking a trek up this hill to experience the panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and breath-taking seascapes. Networks of lakes lie amid the bogs, ideal for trout fishing. The Twelve Bens and Maamturk Mountains are to the north and the sandy coves and blue waters of Bertraghboy Bay offer idyllic and tranquil scenery for all to enjoy. The nearest restaurant and bar are 2km away at Cashel House, and 3km to Johnny O Loughlin Bar at the Zetland. Ballynahinch Castle's Fishermans Bar and Owenmore Restaurant are just 8km from the property, a short drive of about 10 minutes. Enjoy the wonderful woodland walks and Connemara greenway at Ballynahinch, a perfect way of surrounding yourself in the Connemara landscape. Roundstone Village is 11km away and offers a grocery store, restaurants, cafes and bars, and just along the coast past Roundstone are the picturesque Dogs Bay and Gurteen beaches with their white sands and turquoise waters. Clifden town, the largest town in Connemara, is 19km away, or approximately a 20-minute drive and offers a wider range of supermarkets, shops, bars, restaurants, cafés, and services. The heart of the Connemara Gaeltacht can be reached by car within 20 minutes. Local activities include fishing, shooting, hill walking, pony trekking, golf, boat trips and much more.

Wonderful escape
This property is unique. Providing wonderful accommodation in a beautiful setting. If you are looking for escapism and getting close to nature this is ideal, with easy access to the wild Atlantic Way coastal drive and idyllic locations. The property itself is a little tired in places and could do with some small investment to get it back to luxury. The shower in the master en-suite for example wasn’t working properly and one of the shower handles was broken. The pots and pans were well used and the oven could do with a good clean. Wi-Fi access points could be added to provide Wi-Fi in all bedrooms as this was slightly frustrating for some of the family. The host Joe was available during our stay and very helpful and friendly. Overall though this is a lovely homely property that we would recommend.

Perfect Base in Connemara Galway
This modern well built house very comfortably housed four of us, easily could have been six. It is spotless and well equipped, situated right on beautiful bay with excellent view of mountains, lovely patio with swing. Furnishings are excellent, filled with books, modern appliances, bath and shower. It had good privacy but very convenient to local sights, shopping, national park, a one hour scenic drive to Galway. Look forward to coming back.
