About this property
Traditional 5 Star self catering cottage with private fishing. Super host status
Truly a property to love staying in, a real home away from home. Our "Cuach Cottage" has achieved the highest accolades over the past 12 years with it consistently achieving 5 star ratings from past guests.
Again approved by Failte Ireland for 2024 / 2025. Failte Ireland being the governing Irish body.
Super host status achieved 2022 2024
Nothing is left to chance, therefore, the cottage is always in pristine condition when the visitor arrives.
Located on 4 acres, set out in paddocks, one can ramble the grounds , take in the truly amazing scenery, try a spot of fly fishing in our own river, fresh water trout and the odd salmon possible, sketch and paint your very own amazing landscapes with the 12 Pins literally dropping down in plain sight with their ever changing light conditions, ( Favourite spot of artist Paul Henry) or just simply relax and enjoy a glass of wine and a good book on our riverside rustic seating.
Chefing at Cuach Cottage. It's a doddle !!!!
Boasting one of the finest modern kitchens, one can spend hours producing that very special meal, sit down at our farmhouse kitchen table and whilst dining, and entertaining, take in the surrounding 180 degree view of the beautiful Connemara National Park and the Twelve Bens, which literally fall down towards our garden.
Internally, you are totally spoilt, hand crafted wooden window shutters & beds, finest Egyptian Cotton Linens, traditional timber flooring, 1/2 front entrance door, (no chicken though,) internal details that sets us apart from the competition !
You will definitely not be disappointed, so treat yourself and your family to a very special holiday at Cuach Cottage, ( Irish for Cuckoo,)
