About this property
Roundstone 2.5 miles.
Resting in picturesque Roundstone Bay, an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean, is the island of Inishnee, home to this charming Roundstone cottage. Delightfully presented and well equipped, this Roundstone cottage represents the best of the west, located as it is in the famous Connemara region of County Galway. Three clean, comfortable, double bedrooms offer ideal sleeping accommodation and this Roundstone cottage is perfectly suited for friends seeking to experience the beauty of the region, or indeed for a break with family or loved ones. Despite its island location, this cottage near Roundstone is easily accessible from the mainland via a modern bridge and is just a short drive to Roundstone, a pretty fishing village bustling during the summer months thanks to the selection of regattas, festivals and other events that fill the local calendar. Lovers of the great outdoors will be in heaven as they can follow in the footsteps of Monty Halls on his Great Irish Escape, which was filmed in the area, by jumping on a charter boat from the pier and experiencing deep-sea fishing. Alternatively, climbers can take their pick of the Twelve Bens mountain range while walkers will enjoy Connemara National Park, just a short drive away. Return to your Roundstone cottage to take in the panoramic sea and mountain views while you drift off in front of a roaring open fire, dreaming of the days to come on your Irish cottage getaway.
The lively village of Roundstone is situated in the Connemara region of Ireland, in County Galway, on the western arm of Bertraghboy Bay. The village plays host to an annual arts festival, which attracts artists the world over.

Beautiful setting. Beds very comfortable. Everything you need to cook at home. Easy to find. Close to Roundstone which has a few pubs and a hotel that serve food. A great base for touring Galway.

We were warmly welcomed and then left to our own devices which was perfect. Check out was easy and smooth and we so enjoyed the cottage and surrounds.
