    “A truly exceptional location, with wonderful views over the bay (with the occasional pod of dolphins) and the excellent Oliver's nearby as well as live traditional music at Newman's.”

    Not forgetting of course the best crab meat that we have ever tasted. The property is very well furnished and we had everything that we needed: the private reserved parking space was helpful. It was also marvelous to be greeted by owner's local family members and we really fell in love with the place,even managing to fit in a few swims in the sea from nearby beaches.

The property

If you have ever dreamt of waking up to the sounds and smells of the sea, then this semi-detached cottage in Cleggan, County Galway, is the one for you.

Sea views can be enjoyed from most rooms at this cosy Cleggan cottage, which backs onto the water and is just yards from the village's small fishing harbour.

Enjoy a cup of tea in bed, listening to the seagulls overhead, or a leisurely breakfast watching the morning sunlight glint off the waves of the ever-changing sea outside the open plan living area.

A day out from this cottage in Cleggan can take so many forms, from a walk on the beach or a trip on the ferry to Inishbofin Island, a morning deep-sea angling, an afternoon exploring the beautiful Connemara National Park, or an evening out in the vibrant town of Clifden.

On returning to your cottage in Cleggan, what better way to relax than in the sauna?

Then, cook up a storm with delicious local produce (maybe some fresh seafood?) and settle in for the evening, ready to see even more of this beautiful county the very next day.

About the location

CLEGGAN, COUNTY GALWAY

Clifden 7 miles.

Situated on the southern shores of sheltered Cleggan Bay, some 7 miles from Clifden, the picturesque village of Cleggan, County Galway, is both the centre of the sea fishing industry in north Connemara and the ferry port for the beautiful Inishbofin Island. The island, located 6 miles out into the Atlantic Ocean, is renowned for its fantastic beaches and scenery and is a haven for walkers, divers and birdwatchers. Boats for deep sea angling are also available for hire from the village. Just to the east of Cleggan, there is an amazing collection of prehistoric monuments including tombs, standing stones and pre-bog field walks. Cleggan is also well-situated for exploring this wonderful region with Connemara National Park, Kylemore Abbey and the vibrant town of Clifden, County Galway, all just 7 miles away. Take a day trip to the Aran Islands to experience their unique landscape and fascinating culture and tradition or, alternatively, visit the bustling town of Westport, County Mayo, just an hour's drive away.
