Eco-friendly house beside the sea in the wildness and solitude of Connemara

Teach Greine is a Eco-friendly dormer bungalow (2700sq feet) on its own grounds. Heated by solar power, a heat recovery system and excellent insulation makes it a warm and comfortable house. Organic paints and natural oils were used through out the interior. The main entrance door leads into a sun porch with a wooden spiral stair leading to the upstairs. The sun porch leads into the kitchen/dining area which has fitted wooden units, beech worktop and a work island. The kitchen has a Rayburn range, four gas hob rings, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, kettle, toaster, with a ample supply of crockery and utensils. The dining room has a table and six chairs and a sideboard. This leads into the sitting room which has magnificent views of the sea, rocky shoreline and mountains. It has a sofa and four large comfortable chairs, TV , piano, large coffee table and a cut-stone fireplace. In keeping with the Eco friendly ethos, Bamboo flooring is used in the kitchen/dining and sitting room areas. Off the sun-porch is a cloak room for hanging coats which leads into the downstairs shower/toilet and wash-hand basin room. The utility room off the sun-porch has a large sink, washing machine, fridge/freezer, ironing board and iron. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a pull out hot press. There is a landing area which has a table and chair where you can enjoy the magnificent views of the sea and mountains. The west bedroom with a view of the sea has a double and single bed with a walk in wardrobe. The south bedroom has a double and a small single bed and open shelves for the wardrobe. The north bedroom has adult bunk beds with a view of the sea through the velux windows and open shelves for the wardrobes. All bedrooms have bedside lockers and bedside lamps. Wooden floors are in all the bedrooms, bathroom and landing. The bathroom has a small whirlpool bath, toilet and wash hand basin.
The house is surrounded by gravel with ample space to park and turn a car. It has a picnic table. The acre site includes an abundance of wild flowers and plants aided only by organic methods.

Great vacation in a perfect house
We visited this house in May 2023 and had a great time. The house is very spacious and has everything you need. The views are just fantastic and if you are looking for a peaceful and calm retreat, this one is for you. We were a bit struggling with the "No Wifi", but actually it helped us relax even more. Just something you just keep in mind when booking this house. We would recommend this house to everyone looking for relaxing time in the great Connemara region.

Perfect!
In this beautiful, well equipped house you will feel at home! Eileen has a good taste to decorate the interior in a charming way, even with her own beautiful paintings. The house is situated in a quiet area and has a wonderful sea and mountain view. Everyone will feel comfortable at this place! Looking forward to come back!

Great Host, Great House, just perfect
Returning the second time, Eileen has been a great host again, everything was very clean, fully equipped incl. Firelogs and wood for the fireplace, detergent for the washing machine, books for reading. View from the house is great, it was nicely warm...so everything was great again. Will for sure come back again.

Beautiful spot in Ireland
We really enjoyed our stay at this house . The scenery from each window was beautiful. My kids loved exploring the outdoors. The area seemed 100% safe and friendly. We appreciated all the condiments and cooking supplies in the fridge and cabinets. Eileen was very personable and helpful in her tour of the house and recommendations. Location is very remote, but it was nice to unwind in such a beautiful setting. We would definitely recommend Eileen’s eco house :)

A wonderful stay in lovely Letterard
This is our third time staying at Teach Greine, we love it here. The house is very comfortable and well equipped. If you like the sea, nature and outdoor pursuits there is nowhere better. If the weather is a bit damp, this is the perfect place for peaceful indoor pursuits. Eileen is a brilliant host, nothing is too much trouble and she obviously loves Connemara and is happy to share her local knowledge to make a stay more enjoyable. We look forward to returning soon. Thank you

Majestic
Eileen’s Teach Greine property met/exceeded expectations. Was truly eco-friendly and had grand windows and sky lights with majestic ocean and mountain views in Connemara. Eileen herself made the check in easy (despite arriving ~2-3hrs early), and was amazing in maintaining communication in the weeks preceding the visit. Highly recommend Teach Greine!

Warm welcome in a superb and fully accomodated house at the seaside with a splendid view!
We were warmly welcomes by the owner at this beautiful house at the seaside. Everything we needed was available. There were plenty of beds, big rooms, 2 bathrooms, a fully equiped kitchen and even an open fire! We enjoined our station very much. Great nature, beautiful environment and plenty of things to see and do in the area. We've made nice walks and enjoined visiting Roundstone, Clifden and they abbey of Killary. Top location for those who love nature and adore the absolute quiet environment.
