About this property

This beautifully situated Coastguard House overlooks the sea and mountains from every viewpoint. The little fishing village of Cleggan is just a 5 minute walk away, with its four pubs, restaurant, local shop and famous pier with trips to the idyllic island of Inishbofin.

A 10 minute walk past horses, donkeys and cows will take you to Selerna, one of many the sandy beaches that surrounds the Aughrus peninsula.

Having been recently renovated, the White House is open and modern with a Sonos system, WiFi, NEST heating system, wood burner and projector.

The house comfortably sleeps 6 people with a double bed in the master bedroom and 4 bunk beds in the second bedroom. There is also a large double sofa/bed in the parlour that pushes the maximum capacity up to 8 people.

The town of Clifden is a 10 minutes drive away, where you'll find supermarkets, a good range of restaurants and boutique shops as well as the excellent Mullarkeys music bar.

It’s a great little house, perfect for a couple or families, a quintessentially magical Irish Beach House on the most westerly point of Connemara.

A lovely Easter break

This house was in a super position walking distance from Cleggan Pier and village. It was cosy and had all the things we needed as a family, including our dog which was a great bonus. We would definitely return again as it's a perfect base for exploring around spectacular Connemara.

Toller Urlaub

Das Haus ist genau so, wie beschrieben. Wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt, es gab sogar einen Korb mit Lebensmitteln, als wir ankamen. Das Haus liegt etwas erhöht, man hat einen tollen Blick. Alles ist sauber und sehr schön eingerichtet. Die Küche ist gut ausgerüstet. In 10 min ist man zu Fuß im Dorf Cleggan mit einem kleinen Laden, zwei Restaurants, zwei Pubs und einem Schnellimbiss. Auch der nächste Strand ist nur einen schönen Spaziergang von 10 min entfernt und sehr schön! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Station House early July

We spent two nights in the Station House. The house was comfortable, warm and kept the wind out! The nearby beach - Selerna - is a little gem and great for swimming. Cleggan gives a sense of remoteness but is easily reached from Clifden or the road south from Westport. Recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs White House

I've visited Cleggan since I was very young, staying in a house at the end of this little row of Coastguard Houses, and I would walk pass this house thinking it was so lovely and it was the perfect home. After 3 years of looking for a holiday home in the area this house came up for sale and I could not believe my luck. Straight after the purchase I found myself pregnant (which was amazingly lucky), so we spent 6 months renovating with our fantastic builder to restore the house a few years of neglect. The result is better than I could imagine, a perfect getaway from our busy lives in London. The house has been a blessing which keeps on giving.

Why they chose this property

This property is perfect for a family, couple or a gang of friends who want to get away from their town/city and get some fresh air, go for walks with awesome surroundings, swim, kayak, explore, go riding (there is riding stables down the road) or just enjoy a nice pint or glass of chardonnay whilst watching the fisherman bring in their goods for the day.

What makes this property unique

Close to the village, so no need to drive when going to the pub or restaurant, outside fitted shower with hot tap, westerly aspect giving incredible views from every viewpoint.
