The 300-year-old, lovingly renovated cottage is located in the heart of Ireland, just 4.5 km from Carrick-on-Shannon. It sits on a large natural plot of hilly land directly at the river Shannon, with its own long water front and small harbor, which includes a rowing boat. Apart from the friendly owners, who live, not visible, on the other side of the hilly property and are happy to help and advise, you only have cows and sheep as direct neighbors! On the extensive, partly landscaped, partly natural property you will always find a wind-protected place for your deck chair to enjoy the view of the boats passing by, a brick barbecue, and plenty of room to play games!
