3 Bedroom House in Spiddal

The Cottage:
500 metres from the Atlantic at Galway Bay, amidst a landscape, of tiny stonewalled fields and wild bogs is the thatched cottage known to the generations who lived there as An Sean Teach (the old house). This is a real hidden gem of a cottage. Seven generations of a local family were born here. It was the small home of a Gaelic speaking family, farmers and fishermen, knitters, turf cutters who lived in special harmony with the wild nature of their place. The culture of this community was one of the few places where traditional Gaelic culture survived and today you can still hear the Irish language spoken in the local shops and bars. Situated on the outskirts of the village, it is just ten miles west of the bustling city of Galway but still only 3 minutes walk from great restaurants, pubs and the workshops of some of Ireland’s finest crafts people.
This property sits in it’s own field and garden amidst a hinterland of outstanding natural beauty and wildlife. It is a place of incredible peace and tranquility. Also, there is great golf links and incredible walking or biking amidst Connemara and the Aran Islands, all within easy commuting range.
Lovingly and patiently restored to the finest detail with modern conveniences added discreetly. Its owners are a family steeped in the rich heritage of this place. Their home will provide you with a vacation you will never forget! This is the ideal romantic getaway, creative nest, a step back from it all or a great location to discover Galway City & Connemara.
Inside:
This authentic thatched cottage consists of 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king size bed and is ensuite with shower. The two single attic bedrooms have access to a toilet upstairs. The main bathroom is downstairs and it has a bath.

Summary: I recently spent two weeks at this lovely cottage in Spiddal. It met every expectation. Tranquil setting, cozy inside, and especially loved the real wood/turf burning fireplace. The center of town was about a 10 minute walk. About a 30 minute bus ride to Galway and buses run nearly every hour. There’s a couple of convenience stores for food and supplies. Also good take away or sit down places to eat. Friendly pubs. The highlight for me was meeting and talking to Steve, the owner, who was frequently doing projects outside of the cottage. He lovingly takes care of keeping it beautiful as the cottage has been in his family for generations. Steve would always offer his help with anything including explaining to me that all pints of Guinness are not alike. I learned a lot!

Summary: We recently spent a fortnight in the cottage with our dog and this is an honest reflection with pluses and minuses. Plus: Good communication, easy access and clean property with sympathetic restoration. Lovely welcome pack which was much appreciated! Lots of cleaning products and good appliances. There was an area for us to take the dog. Short walk to beach and Spiddal. Minus: Dark inside and cold in the evenings (we had difficulty in maintaining the turf fire!) so we resorted to the electric radiators provided. The cutlery, crockery and furnishings had seen better days and we felt they need updating. The main issue was that the owner, although most pleasant, was on site accessing a storage shed and working in the garden most days. We did not have the solitude we had sought and feel this should have been made clear in the description. Please note dogs are not permitted on buses! All in all good value for money and a pleasant stay.

Summary: Got to our cottage with a nice fireplace burning and a lovely clean house. Edel had left us with some food and fresh milk and bread. Had a love relaxing time and hope to go back again soon. . Well done everyone.

Summary: Beautiful place. Loved the wildness of the Atlantic coast! Was a short day trip from many famous places in Ireland.The refrigerator was malfunctioning, but the owner was aware and had a new one coming-just not while we were there to take advantage of it. Spoke with the owner several times-he was very nice and more than happy to recommend things to do and places to eat. Would stay there again if I returned to that area. Over all it was a perfect choice!

Summary: We had a great stay in this charming cottage for two weeks. There is all you need for a pleasant stay. Edel and Steve welcomed us very warmly. Steve almost asked us if we needed something every day and gave us tips for excursions. He is the best host you can imagine! We can only recommend this property to our friends and acquaintances. A big Thank You! We`d love to cpme back! Jürgen and Elke aus Deutschland/ County Thuringia

Summary: This cottage definitely gives The Holiday with Cameron Diaz vibes! It is adorable! I stayed there one week with my family with two teens and one week with my friends and it was fabulous! If you want to stay in a small Irish town but have bus access to Galway in 30 minutes then this place is fabulous. The coffee shop behind the craft stores has the best coffee and there is a path to walk on with views of Galway bay. We felt so welcome at the cottage with tea and coffee and treats waiting for us! It honestly doesn’t get much more authentic then this with still having the comforts we are used to! Thanks to Steve and Eden for everything!
