Why the Owner Chose Mountshannon
Mountshannon is one of the prettiest villages in Ireland. Overlooking a beautiful harbour, and enjoying a wonderful vista of Lough Derg lake, the setting is spectacular! Great walking, cycling, sailing, fishing, golf and other leisure activities are available locally. One of the oldest monastic settlements in Ireland is on our doorstep, and the village also has excellent cafes, pubs and restaurants.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Enjoy the spectacular views while enjoying fresh salads from the garden on the patio. Stroll around the 1.5 acre garden and watch the boats come and go in the harbour below. Walk the East Clare Way in the hills on your doorstep. Take a boat trip to Holy Island and experience 1,500 years of history.
