You can’t get much closer to the sea than these two holdings on an island 12km off the Connemara coastline. There’s five bedrooms between the two fishermen’s cottages overlooking the water that have stood here for more than 200 years. With direct beach access to the safe and sheltered Cloonamore Strand, they enjoy a fabulous setting with views to Croagh Patrick and super sunsets. Sleeping 11 between two houses, there’s a sun-trap garden behind and a modern ancillary building. It also includes a plot on the foreshore with the potential to build steps to the sand.
