3 Bedroom Cottage in Annaghdown, Co. Galway

Experience an authentic historical cottage based in rural Ireland. Sit back, relax and enjoy the breath-taking, green scenery that Ireland is so famous for. This stunning original cottage was built in 1910 and was originally inhabited by native Irish speakers. The beautiful two-story cottage is steeped in history and was built by a strong community spirit.
Kate, one of the five Murray siblings, worked in the kitchen at the Blake family residence in the area. When the Blakes heard that the Murray family had been evicted from their home in Tonamance they were heartbroken. Knowing Kate to be a hard working decent person they decided to help out a family in need. The Blake family donated the site for the cottage so that Kate and her family would not be turned out on the streets. The entire community banded together to donate the funds required to complete the works and volunteered their labour.
One of the main builders was John Goaley who is the grandfather of the present owner. It was a condition from the Blake family that the house would revert back to the Blakes Estate after the last of the Murrays had died. The cottage changed hands many times over the years and fell into a ruinous state. The present owner and her husband have lovingly restored this picturesque cottage to a very high standard. Thanks to their care and attention to detail a delightful authentic stone cottage, nestled among the rolling green hills of the West of Ireland awaits your arrival.
With three bedrooms and a sofa bed this delightful cottage can cater for all wishing to experience a break from daily life. The master bedroom has a king size bed. There is also a double bedroom and a twin room. Up to six guests at a time can relax and unwind in this idyllic country paradise. All the bedrooms overlook the garden surrounding the cottage and the hills beyond. Lose yourself for an hour at time delighting in every shade of green imaginable spreading out in all directions.
Enjoy the view of the garden and the patio while cooking or making a cup of tea in this classic cottage kitchen. Take a home cooked meal and a glass of wine out onto the patio and enjoy a sunset in the best company.
As a quiet retreat or a base to tour the west of Ireland this property is the perfect spot for both. Experience all that the West has to offer in this stunning location. This is the perfect base for sightseeing or exploring Connemara and Galway City. Or sit and watch the world go by in this stunning scene of uninterrupted views of the countryside and distant hills.
W. B Yeats, James Joyce and Oscar Wild were all inspired by rural Irish beauty. Inspiration, relaxation and adventure await your arrival in the heart of the West of Ireland.

Summary: The cottage exceeded expectations. The home was perfectly clean, and well stocked with anything that you would need. Overall, this is possibly the best VRBO that we have ever stayed in during our travels. If peace and quiet is what you're looking for, this cottage is a great fit.

Summary: We just want to say thank you! Our holidays at Annaghdown were brilliant, the house was lovely, the place was very quiet and only about 20 minutes away from Galway city. We hope to come back soon. It was our first holiday we really want to book again, even our 6 and 4 year old children. The check in and the contact to the agency was very friendly and helpful and we were happy about the bread and butter and some other things for a first snack. Thank you sooo much!

Summary: My family of 5 plus my mom stayed in Murray’s cottage. The owners were very quick to answer questions. We loved staying in this cottage. We were visiting Ireland for a family wedding. We were kept busy and there was not much time spent at the cottage. It was the perfect location for our needs. I would have loved a little more time to just sit and relax at the cottage.

Summary: My family of four (with two teens) spent six nights at Murray's Traditional Irish Stone Cottage while exploring western Ireland, specifically Counties Galway, Mayo, and Clare. We enjoyed the cottage as a welcome respite after busy days. There was plenty of room to plug in and rest, cook meals, and enjoy quiet evenings. Breakfast on the stone patio was a favorite. The cottage is a beautifully restored house and is located in gorgeous countryside surrounded by fields, farms, and friendly neighbors. There are groceries, pharmacies, pubs, and restaurants a short drive away and Galway is a 20-30 min drive. We went bicycling on the Great Western Green Way rail trail in Mayo, horseback riding in Ballyconneely at The Point Pony Trekking, and saw the Cliffs of Moher, Cong, and Galway all while staying at Murray's cottage. The property manager made it easy to check in and the cottage was immaculate upon arrival. We are so happy to have stayed there and highly recommend it.

Summary: The cottage was a great base for exploring Galway and the west of Ireland. The place was spotless and it was such a lovely touch have bread, butter and milk already in when we arrived. Lough Corrib was only a short stroll away at Annaghdown Pier. Only negative was that the WiFi didn’t work so had to rely on mobile reception which was pretty weak out in the country!

Summary: This is a great place for a family vaccation. The cottage has everything you need and is a great homebase for daytrips., for example to Galway, Cliffs of Moher, Kylemore Abbey and Connemara National Park.

Summary: Murrays cottage is a little gem. But like the Tardis as it is larger on the inside than you would expect. Easy access to many points of interest. Peggy's for lunch was a hit with the kids. Highly recommend Corrib cruise around Lough Corrib (from beside Ashford Castle). House was spotless, quiet and absolutely perfect.....!!!
