|
Connemara is a place to relax, where one can take a break from the busy world and feast one's eyes on the surrounding landscape of unspoiled natural beauty. Wake to the glorious sunrise and the sound of birds' song. Lough Corrib (at the end of the lane) is a world-famous haunt for anglers. A fine 18 hole golf course is just minutes away. A wonderful setting and ideal for exploring Connema by day and the buzz of Galway city by night. This luxurious cottage is situated on one-half acres. You will enjoy your privacy in this romantic cottage; located on the same property as the main residence. Amelia, the owner, is a cosmopolitan gem: she has lived in La Jolla, California and Italy, is privileged to be a Joyce from Joyce country and her knowledge alone is worth the trip - all the secrets of her beloved Connemara. A soul rejuvenating experience and a warm welcome awaits you.

Further details
Special Attractions - Amelia's favourites: Angling: Fishermen from all over the world come to fish Lough Corrib renowned for its' fishing especially during the May Fly season. The lake is a stones throw from the cottage. Walk 'The Western Way' a renowned walk that starts close to Amelia's cottage on the Glann Road and ends at Maam - l4km. Or take the 'Western Way' which descends to Lough Inagh Valley, a sight which will capture your heart forever. Swimming: Take a dip in Lough na Foohey. Surrounded by the wild symphony of rugged mountains in Joyce Country. There is a sorrow here but also a sharp beauty, a man goes cold with the beauty of it and is glad to be alone. Picnicing: Take your picnic basket and drive to Delphi which owes its name to the young Marquess of Sligo, who returning from the Grand Tour, named his fishing lodge Delphi. In ancient times, Delphi was considered to be the centre of the known world, the place where heaven and earth met. This was the place on earth where man was closest to God and Delphi in Mayo is exactly that.
