Tievemore – A Tranquil Seaside Retreat in the Heart of Connemara:
Escape to the peace and beauty of Ireland’s west coast at Tievemore, a welcoming two-bedroom cottage nestled on four acres of private land overlooking Ballinakill Bay and the Twelve Bens mountain range. Just minutes from the charming towns of Clifden, Letterfrack, and the ferry to Inishbofin Island, this serene setting offers both seclusion and access to the best of Connemara.
The Cottage:
Tievemore blends comfort and simplicity with stunning views in every direction. Inside, you’ll find:
- Two spacious king-size bedrooms, each with bay or garden views
- A modern family bathroom with an electric shower and full-sized bath
- A well-equipped kitchen and dining area with panoramic sea and mountain views
- A bright living room with a fireplace and Smart TV and stunning views
- High-speed Wi-Fi, washer/dryer, and everything you need for a relaxing stay
Large windows flood the home with natural light, especially in the morning as the sun rises over the bay—a magical moment you can enjoy right from the living room or your bedroom window.
Outdoors & Grounds
Step outside to explore your private four-acre plot, a mix of open lawn and natural Connemara landscape. From the front gate, Ballinakill Bay is just across the lane, offering endless inspiration for walks, sea-gazing, swimming or quiet reflection.
A birdfeeder outside the kitchen window draws a steady flow of local birds—and once even a pine marten! Guests are welcome to top it up with the provided food and enjoy the natural theatre just outside the glass.
In the evenings, take a short walk or quick drive (5 mins) to Ross Beach, where you might be lucky enough to catch one of the area’s breathtaking Atlantic sunsets—a perfect end to a day exploring the coast.
