About The Cottage
Teach na mBo sits within the unique landscape of South Connemara between sea and mountains. The Wild Atlantic Way runs directly down our lane to Ceibh Baile na hAbhann – a viewpoint across Galway Bay to the Aran Islands and the Cliffs of Moher. Local fisherman still use traditional curraghs go out to catch crab and lobsters.
The traditional cosiness of a thick-walled stone cottage is combined with all the requirements of modern home living – including fast fibre wifi – to provide a warm, cosy home from home – great as a base for a touring holiday, a relaxed retreat from a busy life, and ideal as a change of scene for a staycation or working from home.
The main living area is open-plan with wooden floors, exposed beams and a turf-burning stove which gives off the tantalising smell of Connemara. Patio doors open out on the small paved walkway and gives views of the garden shared with the main farmhouse and out towards patchwork fields bounded by traditional stone walls.
Our fully equipped kitchen area has granite worktops and all the integrated appliances you would expect from a home of this quality, including hob, fan oven, microwave and dishwasher. The dining table seats 4 and a comfortable sofa, chairs and lovely soft furnishings complete the look. A small flat screen TV is provided with UK and Irish satellite Freeview channels and Netflix. There is also a DVD player.
The master bedroom has a traditional, cast-iron framed. Kingsize bed with hotel quality mattress, topper and all bedding. There are plenty of built-in wardrobes and a hotel-style tiled, large en-suite with a bath and a large walk-in shower.
At the opposite end of the open-plan area bedroom 2 is accessed via steep stone steps down to a spacious twin room, again with hotel-quality bed linen. This room also has a tiled en-suite with walk in shower. Off this bedroom is a US-style laundry cupboard housing a washing machine and separate condenser dryer.
Outside there is a dedicated parking space and access to the garden, a small paved area, a BBQ and outside eating space with table and chairs.
