    Perfect location. Amazing views, comfortable house, super quiet but a 10 minute walk to Clifden. Hosts were super helpful.
  • Gabriel

    Location was excellent. A manageable walk to town centre but far enough out to create a rural escape. The view from the property was fantastic with sea inlet views and mountains in background. A great location to use as a base for touring...

    Location was stunning however the best selling point of the house is its view which could barley be seen as shrubs had overgrown which was dissapointing. I would have rated a 10 if this hadn't been the case.

Loch an Eala cottage is on an elevated site south facing overlooking Salt lake and the Atlantic ocean and has extensive views of Roundstone bog and hill. It has a large private garden with BBQ and patio furniture. It is situated just about a 10 minute walk from centre of Clifden town which has a wide variety of shops pubs, and restaurants. It is an ideal location for exploring Connemara and walkers and cyclists can access the Greenway which passes by entrance to property.
Charles and Marie Bourke will be delighted to host you here and will offer any assistance required during your stay.
Clifden, the capital of Connemara, is a famous holiday destination. People come here to enjoy the spectacular scenery on the Wild Atlantic Way, the wide range of interesting shops ,restaurants and pubs and interesting places to visit. We would recommend a visit to Kylemore Abbey, Connemara National Park and a trip to Inis Boffin island among the many attractions available. For those interested in outdoor activities there is a wide available - hiking in the mountains, horse riding, fishing, water sports, and Connemara Championship Golf course.
