Waterfall Cottage is a pretty stone cottage, built in the traditional style with views over the lake of Loch Na Fooey. The cottage was built in 1997 in traditional stone and has full oil fired central heating. There are wooden floors throughout with the kitchen and bathroom having ceramic tiles.
The house has a large traditional-style living room/kitchen with an open fire where you can relax and enjoy family meals together. A television is provided in this room.
The kitchen is fully equipped with electric cooker, microwave, fridge-freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. A tumble-dryer is located in the outhouse.
The open plan hallway provides a lovely sitting area with lovely views over the mountains
There are two single bedrooms downstairs and a bathroom with shower and toilet.
Upstairs there are three further bedrooms, two single and one double with a further toilet and separate shower room.
There is a long sandy beach on the lakeshore that is suitable for swimming - within walking distance of the cottage (1 km) and also accessible by car.
At 2.5 miles long and .5 miles wide, Loch na Fooey is a classic glacial lake in a steep-sided valley, surrounded by the ruggedly beautiful mountains of Galway and Mayo. Four substantial rivers and countless mountain streams flow into the Lough. The fishing is free (no licence is needed), and the unpolluted waters hold good stocks of wild brown trout and pike.
A rowing boat is available free by arrangement (its use is shared with another cottage).
This area offers many splendid walks, both for experienced hill walkers and for those who want to try something less demanding. The following higher peaks all provide good walking: Bunacunneen, Devil's Mother, Leynabricka, Skeltia and Buckaun. The area is also of immense geological interest.
Ideal for a relaxing holiday away from it all and within easy reach of Connemara and beautiful seaside beaches. The picturesque village of Leenane is only 11 km distance.
