Self catering accomodation

Out in the west of Ireland, between the Arigna and Curlew mountains lies the scenic lakeland area of Boyle. Just two and a half hours from Dublin and half an hour to the Atlantic coast. We are in a historically rich and scenicly unspoilt area, ideal for walking, cycling, fishing, boating, birdwatching and car touring. If you are looking for a quite place to escape from the rigours of city life for a weekend or longer, then we have what you need.

The flat is warm and cosy and simply, yet comfortably, appointed. It will house a couple or a young family with one or two children, or alternativly two couples sharing.

The flat consists of a hallway leading to the bedroom and living room. The bedroom has two single beds with bedding provided, a wardrobe and electric heater. A cot can be provided on request.

The living room has a double sofa bed (bedding supplied) and dining table, and is equipped with a T.V. radio and C.D player. Off the living room is a galley kitchen which has a gas hob and microwave oven with all cutlery and crockery supplied. It is heated by an electric fire.

Connected by a small hallway is the bathroom, equipped with a power shower (towels not supplied).

Outside you have your own drive way, and a patio area with barbacue and garden furniture. This is a really sheltered sun trap for a lazy day at home.

We are non-smoking.
