GARDENS & GROUNDS The property is approached by a driveway lined by shrubs and evergreens, entered via crafted stone pillars and a pair of wooden gooseneck gates, culminating in a gravel turning circle and a parking area with ample space. Surrounding the cottage, informal gardens unfold. Mature evergreen trees stand tall, offering shade and a sense of privacy, while flowering shrubs are scattered throughout the garden, adding flashes of colour against the lush green backdrop. LOCATION Connemara is famous across the world as one of Ireland’s most scenic and appealing areas along the Wild Atlantic Way. It is renowned for its wide skies, rugged landscapes, stunning mountains, pristine lakes and breath-taking coastal scenery. The region is further characterized by its vast expanses of bogland and attractive villages. Doon Cottage is ideally situated overlooking Cashel Bay and the beautiful, rugged coastline, sheltered by surrounding trees and the 310m high Cashel Hill to the north. While beautifully secluded, the cottage is not isolated. Cashel is a friendly locality, and right next door is the Doonreagan estate, home to the Earl and Countess of Roden. The popular resorts of Clifden and Roundstone are a short distance away. Clifden is a cosmopolitan town, with cafés, bars, restaurants, hotels and shops, sports clubs and good local schools. Roundstone, once a small fishing village, is now a favoured holiday destination with pubs, cafés and restaurants. The famous beaches of Gurteen and Dog’s Bay are a couple of kilometers away. Ballynahinch Castle Hotel, one of Ireland’s leading luxury hotels, set in a private 700-acre estate of woodland, rivers and walks, is also within easy reach. Hill walking, mountain climbing, fly fishing, golf and horse riding are available locally, as are water sports of all kinds: swimming, windsurfing, canoeing, paddle boarding, snorkeling, sea fishing and sailing. The area is home to several notable attractions, such as Kylemore Abbey, a handsome castle with renowned historic gardens, situated on the shores of Kylemore Lake. Another landmark is the Connemara National Park, encompassing some 2,000 hectares of scenic wilderness. The park offers numerous walking trails, including a hike up Diamond Hill. The city of Galway, with its delightful medieval core, is approx. 67 km away. It offers plenty of amenities, including a wide choice of hotels and restaurants, shopping centres, cinemas, theatres, art festivals, hospitals and a university going back nearly 200 years.
