County Galway Cottages
Welcome to one of Ireland's most extraordinary counties,
where you'll find rugged, scenic landscapes studded with serene
lakes, amazing beaches, charming villages, vibrant city living and
a good scattering of Galway holiday cottages.
A Galway cottage means fun for everyone!
Roam the captivating countryside of Connemara and watch red deer
and wild ponies grazing in the national park. Stride out along the
Connemara Way. Make a splash along the coast, laden with craggy
nooks and crannies washed by choppy waters. Sail across to the Aran
Islands, truly remote and home to incredible scenery, historic
sites and a famous knitting yarn. Surf Atlantic rollers. Go
canoeing, water-skiing, deep-sea diving - lots of water sports to
choose from. Enjoy a bracing stroll around Dogs Bay. Or cast your
rod in one of Galway's fishing hotspots.
Daytrips may include a guided tour of Kylemore Abbey &
Gardens, with its stunning lakeside setting. A catamaran cruise
along Killary Fjord, nine miles in length and breathtakingly
beautiful. A visit deep down into the tunnels and chambers of
Glengowla Mines. A frivolous flutter at Galway Races or family fun
at the annual Connemara Pony Show. Or what about a trip to the
Galway Atlantaquaria, where you can tickle a ray, hold a starfish
and gaze in awe at huge conger eels?
On the culinary front, join fellow seafood lovers at the Galway
International Oyster Festival, enjoy raucous evenings at a medieval
castle banquet, or pick up some wild smoked salmon from a local
smokehouse and start your day the gourmet way in your cosy Galway
cottage.
