The things to do - Park the car walk the beach walk the shore in a storm feel the thunderous sea pounding the shore in rain put on the kettle and enjoy not being out in it on a moonlit night see your shadow on clear new moon night - gaze at stars and The Milky Way look north as far as your eyes can see towards the North Pole with nothing in your way if all else fails just light the stove and relax in the cosy century old stone built Connemara cottage.
Fourth generation of the family for whom the cottage was built c.1909. We're motivated by a love of nature, the environment and the outdoors. We hope to make your stay an experience to cherish forever. We're available any time to answer any questions about the cottage and the locality. Great place for individual, couple or family who like to be off the beaten track surrounded by coastal nature
Miles upon miles of the unspoilt "Mannin Commonage" is welcome to all walkers/joggers/ramblers who follow the welcoming signage of local landowners. The terrain includes some of the most picturesque white sandy beaches you will ever find, rolling sand dunes and rocky coastline, acres and acres to wander - beautiful and so remote you might not see another person even on a blue sky summer's day
