The utility room off the sun-porch has a large sink, washing machine, fridge/freezer, ironing board and iron. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a pull out hot press. There is a landing area which has a table and chair where you can enjoy the magnificent views of the sea and mountains. The west bedroom with a view of the sea has a double and single bed with a walk in wardrobe. The south bedroom has a double and a small single bed and open shelves for the wardrobe.

A wonderful stay in lovely Letterard
This is our third time staying at Teach Greine, we love it here. The house is very comfortable and well equipped. If you like the sea, nature and outdoor pursuits there is nowhere better. If the weather is a bit damp, this is the perfect place for peaceful indoor pursuits. Eileen is a brilliant host, nothing is too much trouble and she obviously loves Connemara and is happy to share her local knowledge to make a stay more enjoyable. We look forward to returning soon. Thank you

It is a dream house beside the sea where you can experience the solitude and beauty of Connemara.
