Description

    Facilities

500 metres from the Atlantic at Galway Bay, amidst an ancient landscape, of tiny stonewalled fields and wild bogs is the thatched cottage known to the generations who lived there as "An Sean Teach" (the old house).

Seven generations of a local family were born here. It was the small home of a Gaelic speaking family, subsistance farmers and fishermen, knitters, turf cutters who lived in special harmony with the wild nature of their place. Within the thick walls of this happy home, riches were counted in song, music and story. The culture of this community at the western edge of Ireland was one of the few places where traditional Gaelic culture survived. Today, that culture is thriving in what is the greatest period in Ireland's history. The Sean Teach is still standing today with its white-washed walls shining whiter and it's thatch as tight and cosy as ever before. Today, it is one the finest, restored homes of it kind in existence.

Lovingly and patiently restored to the finest detail with modem conveniences added discreetly, this home is available to rent. Its owners are a family steeped in the rich heritage of this place. Their home will provide you with a vacation you will never forget! This is the ideal romantic getaway or creative nest. It is the perfect base from which to explore and walk the hidden Ireland, often talked of but rarely experienced.

Situated on the outskirts of the village (and the cultural honeypot!) of An Spidéal (Spidéal), it is just ten miles west of the bustling city of Galway. This property sits in it's own field and garden amidst a hinterland of outstanding natural beauty. It is a place of incredible peace and tranquility, but still only 3 minutes walk from great restaurants, pubs and the workshops of some of Ireland's finest crafts people. Also, there is great golf links and incredible walking or biking amidst Connemara and the Aran Islands, all within easy commuting range.

This authentic thatched cottage consists of 3 bedrooms, all of which are ensuite. The Master bedroom has a King-size bed and there are two single attic rooms. The kitchen is fully equipped with all modern conveniences including washer/dryer, cooker, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The beautifully restored sitting room has an original turf open fire.

Truly a magical and special destination.
