Oranuisce a rare remaining Traditional Fisherman's Thatched Cottage right on The Wild Atlantic Way. Directly located and overlooking the beautiful Galway Bay yet only a 5-minute walk or 100 meter along the road onto the local Gleninagh Beach. A direct mountain path leads you up onto The Burren Mountains nestled in the rear back gardens. The famous Holy Pinnacle Well a 50 meter walk and the Private Pier also nearby. Loughlan's Clan historic Castle also nearby approx. 250m walk. Also with the newly opened Burren Whisky Distillery now in operation also worth a visit approx. 600m walk.

Owner of this lovingly self restored traditional Irish thatched fisherman's cottage.

Nestled and set back on the road fronting directly on The Wild Atlantic Highway overlooking Galway Bay and the Mountains of Connemara beyond. Yet only a short hop of 2.5km into the town of Ballyvaughan hosting a local Spa Food Shop, Post Office, Fuel Station, Church and numerous famous bars & restaurant's also including an open late fast food takeaway.
