Away from it all, yet within easy access / walking distance to the finest eating establishments. Superior shopping is available in Clifden, the capital of Connemara.

The cottage has interesting internal items & build details, ie, 3 ft thick walls vernacular 100 yrs old.

Set on 4 acres of gardens, [16,000 sq. mtrs.] and fenced paddocks is approached by way of a 100 mtr. driveway sets the scene, all natural terrain of course.

Knock Airport. Knock is approx 120 mins. drive to Cuach Cottage.

Interesting 'Cuach Cottage': Constructed from local stone using local skills and dry bedding technique. Some internal walls are 3 ft. wide whilst others are 2 ft.

It has a conventional pitched slated roof which is now highly insulated.

To the rear, their remains the shell of a stone constructed sheep's pen. Livestock would have been housed close to the dwelling back in the day.

Al Fresco Dining: To the rear of the cottage is an elevated 8 seater outdoor dining set. Set upon a traditional pebbled and fenced patio area. BBQ here on a summer's day and you are in heaven, beautiful fresh water river running alongside, 12 Ben Mountain range so close you feel you could touch them, natural lake land and Connemara terrain right in front of you. Your outstanding views are not obstructed !! To the front of the cottage we have located a 6 seater dining bench. This offers the visitor a choice of 2 outdoor dining locations. Best of both worlds, as the sun moves from East to West. Located in the garden and beside the fresh water river is a 3 seater hand made bench where one can while away some hours, reading, sketching or indeed just taking in the scenery.

Inside the traditional fireplace is 'inglenook' type, however, this has been converted to suit a wood burning stove. In days gone by all family meals were cooked over this hearth.

Local harvested turf was the common source of fuel . The fire would sit directly on the floor in traditional manner using all the skills necessary to maintain it, lighting 24 hours per day. Most homesteads had their own plot of bog land. Plots till exist to this day alongside.

We have installed a hand crafted entrance door, 1/2 by 1/2 last year made by a local craftsman, thanks Pat.

Interior fixtures, some from Count De Vesci's estate in Laois are present in 'Cuach Cottage'

Beautiful Connemara Cottage
We really enjoyed our stay in the cottage. The location is great - a short drive to the town, and very peaceful with fantastic views from the back of the cottage. The whole place has a lovely feel - really nice decor, and we lit the fire one night which was great. Thanks!

Wonderful cottage to stay while you roam the area
A beautiful cottage, wonderful view, with a private piece of river which has to be seen to be believed. Would definitely return.

Lovely cottage and great service
We stayed here for 5 nights in August and aside from the weather, it was perfect. Tranquil location about 5m from Clifden centre. Kitchen/diner is a fabulous space and I don't think the pics actually do the place justice. Service from Liam was fantastic too :)

Fabulous cottage. Beautifully decorated & very comfortable.
Particularly loved the bright, airy kitchen leading out to the garden seating area!! What a view too! Loved all the quirky things on the walls & I thought whoever did the interior design had great taste!! It was all lovely! Another bathroom would be the only thing I would say could improve the cottage .... but does not take away from the great time we had there!!

We had a wonderful week in this lovely cottage.
This is a very lovely cottage about 4km from Clifden. This was ideal for us as it was the Clifden arts festival which we were able to dip in and out of whilst feeling that we could get back to seclusion afterwards. The cottage is very comfortable in all respects. The kitchen/sunroom was where we spent most of our time as the views from it are stunning. The light is lovely and we feel very restored by this week. We had some lovely coastal walks and some surfing. Liam was very helpful when we were in touch (which wasn't much as everything was fine!)

Marian operates a retail business on the East Coast in Gorey, Co. Wexford. Liam is a Commercial Building Service's Engineer and Passive House Consultant. Visiting this site will reveal a lot about our ethos. Marian's eye for detail is everywhere to be seen.

Why they chose this property

'Les Lacs du Connemara' Michel Sardou !! Cuach cottage has loads of history and had an original thatched roof !!. It stands on 4 acres of Connemara terrain, has a beautiful fresh water river running alongside, which is full of Trout / Salmon in season. Its also situated on The Wild Atlantic Way. From our rustic garden seat you can view the Otter, Mink, Badger, Cuckoo, [ April - June ] and all the while the majestic 12 Ben Mountain Range forming the backdrop. All these views now available 24/7 from the majestic interior of the cottage. Mornings and evenings are just spectacular when viewed from here. We are in an idyllic location, right on The Wild Atlantic Way and beside some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, yet right in the heart of Connemara. Children can play on the safest and cleanest sandy beaches found anywhere and right on the doorstep !!
If you want to get away from it all this is positively it !
Paul Henry and sister Grace Henry painted some of their most famous works literally from our front garden !!!
Its been our pleasure to having hosted many dignitaries, Lords & Ladies, literary figures and family guests over the years, literally travelling from all corners of the world, They have found 'Cuach Cottage' to be an absolute delight, simple, yet all embracing ! Please read reviews.
Why not try it yourself ? You will not be disappointed !!

What makes this property unique

We have our own fresh water well, essential in Connemara !! Our cottage stands on 4 acres, [16,000 sq. mtrs.] of Connemara Terrain which has been designated an area of special beauty. The garden areas are fenced off into many paddocks. Four acres of beautiful gardens form part of the domaine. Connemara ponies and sheep graze close by.
Turning left out of our cottage gate you will find some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Nothing but beautiful Connemara terrain for 13 Kilometers, just amazing moor lands and lake district and then Ballynahinch Castle for that must have luncheon !! Enjoy, Liam & Marian.
The cottage is away from everything yet close to the Capital Town of Clifden, 4 Kilometers to Supermarkets, Fine Dining, Theatre, indeed everything you could wish for.
Cuach Cottage is quiet and peaceful, yet if you need assistance it is within easy reach.
