Bay view. We stayed at this house at the end of August 2025. The pictures online are accurate and the house is both large and well situated but slightly dated. Note that there is also a smaller rental property at the back of an agricultural shed at the back of the property. This is owned and managed by the proprietor but is not signposted so may lead to confusion. We had one European renter actually walk into our house during our stay asking for directions and then aggressively implying that they were also staying in our rented house. It gave my wife quite the fright and the doors stayed locked thereafter.Apart from that, what you will gain are fantastic views and lovely local trails beside the sea. The house is situated right in front of a small beach and boat pier. When we were there, a sauna and hot tub were available on the pier. Each day, lots of people came down to swim at the little harbour and at weekends, quite a few people were camping along the road, although this didn’t cause any issues. In the local town, Derrybeg, you can find 2 supermarkets , Sean Og’s pub and restaurant along with several coffee shops, cafes and take out options. Lovely location for a relaxing break but just be careful if others are staying in the small apartment. I would suggest that direction signs for this apartment could be added to avoid confusion.
