The property
Situated along the coastal road from Galway City to Connemara just one mile from the seaside village of Spiddal, Tigh Darby is a charming, detached cottage in County Galway. Lovingly renovated, with the owner’s furnishings and fixtures throughout, this Spiddal cottage is an ideal holiday home for friends and families wishing to explore all that Galway has to offer. There are four bedrooms at this Spiddal cottage offering views of Galway Bay. On the ground floor are a well-equipped, fitted kitchen, a cosy sitting room and a dining room with a fabulous oil stove, a perfect place to sit and relax over a home-cooked meal after a long day spent discovering this beautiful part of Ireland. Outside this Galway cottage is a front patio where you can sit with a morning coffee, whilst to the rear you can say hello to the owner’s resident Connemara pony ‘Lily’ who grazes in the field next door. Spiddal is a wonderful seaside village with a good selection of shops and traditional pubs as well as two glorious sandy beaches where kids of all ages can while away their days building sandcastles or paddling in the surf. Spiddal is home to both Irish and English speakers, so brush up on a bit of Gaelic as you explore the local area. Make sure to spend some time to enjoy a boat trip to the Aran Islands or a day in cosmopolitan Galway City where you will discover a haven of Irish culture, history, tradition and fine local cuisine. A wonderful seaside cottage near Spiddal for all the family!
