About this property
Tully 2 miles. This delightful detached cottage is situated on the wonderful Renvyle Peninsula some two miles past the village of Tully where the sea wall breaks the spring tides. Standing on an elevated site, this cosy County Galway cottage has been lovingly decorated and furnished to provide comfort and quality throughout your holiday. Boasting three well-presented bedrooms, this is an ideal retreat for families or groups of friends looking to explore the great outdoors. Guests can enjoy the well-fitted kitchen or relax with a glass of wine in the comfortable sitting room with open fire and gaze out across the ocean. Outside the cottage, the wonders of Connemara beckon. Take the short trip to Renvyle beach where sea and sky meet, or alternatively hop in the car and drive to Leenane and Killery Harbour where the Atlantic Ocean has carved a majestic fiord inland for several miles between the mountains. You must not leave this area without visiting Kylemore Abbey, with its Victorian walled gardens and enchanted lake. A short drive will take you to Cleggan with its pier, where you can take the daily ferry to Inishbofin Island to experience the tradition and culture of island life. Visit Connemara National Park with its many treks and trails on your doorstep. Enjoy the town of Clifden, a short distance away, an oasis in the west, with its many pubs, cafes and restaurants. Seaspray is truly on the Wild Atlantic Way and is a wonderful base to see Mother Nature at her best.
The seaside village of Tully is situated on the Renvyle Peninsula in County Galway. Set next to the Atlantic Ocean, the village has two bars, a Post Office, a supermarket and a horse-riding centre, as well as a music house. Across the bay are the mountains of Mweelrea and Croagh Patrick, and within easy reach are Connemara National Park, Kylemore Abbey, and Inishbofin Island.

The view is wonderful (sea from the front, hill from the back). So nice being able to just wander down the driveway, cross the road and get onto the beach. The cottage has great facilities (3 bathrooms!) and is very comfortable. Great shop and pub in Tully Cross. Spectacular scenery everywhere. We went with our 22-year-old son and we all loved it. I've already been recommending it to friends and family!
