Lovely Carrigaholt Getaway

Discover this light-filled home set within County Clare's beautiful coastal countryside, offering an inviting haven for extended families or groups of friends seeking a rural getaway. Perched overlooking Loop Head Bay, where the River Shannon meets the sea, this warm and welcoming cottage comes complete with a crackling wood burner in the cosy lounge and private patio gardens to the front and rear for al fresco dining moments at any time of the day.

The spacious lounge offers sumptuous leather seating and sofas, providing ample room for socialising, playing games, or enjoying a movie on the TV. During colder evenings, curl up by the wood burner and enjoy the warmth. Retreat to the sun-filled conservatory, boasting panoramic views through its many windows, or gather around the dining table for a memorable feast. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to make meal times a breeze, while a convenient utility room adds functionality. After a day of discovery, retire to one of the well-appointed bedrooms, including three doubles (one of which has an en-suite bathroom) and a spacious family room with two double beds. A gleaming family bathroom completes this welcoming home away from home. Outside, the partly enclosed garden beckons with its patio areas at both the front and back. Here, guests can dine, bask in the sunshine, or simply unwind amidst the rural surroundings on balmy summer days.

Immerse yourself in the coastal charm of Carrigaholt (0.5 miles), and embark on dolphin and seal-watching excursions or partake in deep-sea fishing adventures. Explore the quaint village’s lovely beach and marvel at the 15th-century tower house of Carrigaholt Castle. Venture further afield to the vibrant town of Kilrush, located 15 miles away, where you can indulge in some retail therapy, dine at local eateries, and wander through the Vandeleur Walled Garden.
