Oystercatcher Cottage

It is a small 2 bedroom cottage with garden, patio and outside decking area overlooking the sea. The inside space comprises a kitchen/dining area, cosy sitting room and bathroom on the ground floor. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs which are accessed by a wooden ladder (please note this may not be suitable for young children or elderly/infirm adults – look at the photos to decide whether it is suitable for you and your group). Upstairs there is one bedroom with a king-size bed and another bedroom with 2 single beds, sleeping 4 people in total.

The door from the kitchen leads out to the decking area from which you can enjoy fabulous sea views. In the summer months you can see beautiful sunsets over the sea and if you’re lucky you might even catch sight of dolphins passing by!

The cottage combines many traditional features with modern conveniences including a multi-fuel stove, electric heating, hot water, a fully equipped kitchen with electric cooker, fridge, dishwasher, microwave and everything you need to cook your own meals. There is WiFi, a TV, Xbox, dvds, games and lots of books. In the adjacent shed you will find a washing machine and clothes dryer, along with a BBQ and outdoor furniture for your use.

Depending on the weather, the cottage can be a calm and idyllic place; a real paradise, or wild and windswept as it sits on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Either way it’s a special place to be. It’s particularly suitable for couples looking for a romantic getaway or small groups of friends/family who want to experience the raw beauty of the West of Ireland.

Oystercatcher Cottage is situated in Mullaghgloss on the Renvyle peninsula on the famous Wild Atlantic Way driving route. The cottage is close to many stunning beaches – Lettergesh is the closest at just 2km away. The cottage has views to the mouth of Killary Harbour and across the bay to Co. Mayo in the distance. The village of Tullycross is 2.5k away where you’ll find bars serving food including the award-winning Paddy Coynes Pub. The entrance to Connemara National Park is just 7km away in Letterfrack village. The walk to the top of Diamond Hill in the park is well worth the effort for the views. In Letterfrack village you will find a supermarket and more bars which serve food. Kylemore Abbey & Gardens and the town of Clifden are also within easy driving distance.
