We are Eithne & Paddy a couple in our 50’s. We met in Bangladesh & traveled all over Asia as a young couple with young children. We moved to the West of Ireland 30 years ago and built this beautiful house ourselves. We live in an ancient oak & holly forest a 5 min. walk from a lake where we swim all year round. We have just returned home after 7 years living and working in Malta and are simply enjoying life in the Wild West of Ireland. The property is adjoining our family home it is separate and completely private and we can be available as much or as little as necessary to ensure you have a really enjoyable time. You can contact us by phone at any time during your stay and we are happy to show you the various walks in the forest. It is a special conservation area and is therefore an environmentally sensitive area with incredible native flora and fauna to enjoy.
