About this property
A fabulous detached stone cottage, in an elevated position on the fringes of Lettermore village, located on the Wild Atlantic Way, close to the sea in County Galway. The property has a rich history dating back over 100 years, and was formerly the village shop. Offering superb views, the cottage has been lovingly restored to provide spacious and welcoming accommodation full of character and original features, yet benefiting from all modern conveniences. Only a short walk away is the village centre, with a welcoming pub and local convenience store, whilst just a few miles outside the village golfers will be delighted to discover a challenging links course, complete with a tee shot over the Atlantic Ocean onto a small island! Alternatively, why not explore the nearby Connemara National Park, or cast a line into one of the many well-stocked fishing lakes that the area has to offer? An exceptional cottage, in a beautiful location.
Located on a small island in the south west corner of County Galway, the pretty village of Lettermore is connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway. This village is home to a welcoming Irish pub, a small convenience store and traditional butcher's shop, and is also located in an area where the Irish language is still prevalent. This beautiful area of unspoiled countryside offers a wide range of walking and cycling opportunities, as well as great spots for water sports. There are numerous coves, beaches and inlets to explore along the coastline, in addition to great opportunities for sailing, fishing and scuba diving. The Connemara National Park is only a short drive away, whilst the Aran Islands are located just off the coast in Galway Bay.

Thanks to Cepta, she is a wonderful lady. The house is fully equipped and full of history. The garden is big and beautiful our children enjoyed it. The house is located near a Centra, ask for Rory he is a knowledgeable man, and a sports pitch is in walking distance. The heritage center is a must-see, and so is the seaweed café. There are lots of walking loops in the area. We will definitely be returning to the area. One 1week was enough for us.

The house has amazing views and is perfect for using as a quiet base to explore all that Galway has to offer. We spent most of our time when we were in the house sitting in the kitchen, enjoying the peat fire, or in the sun room just looking at the view. We also enjoyed some of the best night's sleep in ages in the comfortable beds. We arrived to find a lit fire, fresh baked scones, and a bottle of wine, and one of the owners, Michael, on hand to show us where everything was and how things worked. The other owner, Cepta, checked in with us a couple of times during the week to make sure we had everything we needed and gave us suggestions on where to visit and places to eat and that was very much appreciated. The local Centra store has everything you need if you don't want to drive a little further to other shops and the locals were very friendly and welcoming. An excellent home from home, fully accessible for those with mobility issues, and one we'd definitely recommend.

Lovely to be met by Cepta on arrival and have the property explained. The real peat fire in the kitchen was a real plus and the property was spacious and light. Great views from the patio which all added up to an unforgettable holiday. 10/10.
