Owner profile
About the owner
I have over 30 years experience in organization change consulting. My personal interests include Alpaca farming, Choir singing, the problems of rural development and being entertained by my grandchildren.
Creag Torthúil is a beautiful thatch cottage that has been in our family for generations. My late wife was in fact born in the cottage and she inherited the building when it was in need of repair and updating. The integrity of a traditional cottage is something we have worked hard not to loose when renovating, this has become a luxurious and comfortable abode. The cottage is located in the heart of the Burren has beautiful views of the Aran Islands and the Atlantic ocean across the family alpaca farm. It offers all the comforts of home in an ideal holiday location.
