Description
Welcome to Sweet Garden this wonderful holiday home by the sea in Mannin, Ballyconneely, with stunning views of Mannin Bay, the Twelve Ben mountains and Connemara’s rugged coastline.
Situated along the Wild Atlantic Way, this Connemara luxury holiday home is moments from Mannin Bay’s white sandy beach and its crystal-clear waters. This is the perfect getaway for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in the tranquillity of Ireland’s west coast, whilst surrounded by luxury.
A spacious and tastefully designed newly built house in the heart of Connemara, upon entering the house, you will be greeted by a large entrance hall with high ceilings, which leads to a spacious open plan living area that includes a comfortable lounge, contemporary kitchen and dining area (seating 10, comfortably).
The floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the property fill the house with natural light and the dining area opens out onto a large outdoor roofed terrace, furnished with cushioned lounging furniture and perfect for a BBQ and a glass of wine whilst enjoying the fresh sea air.
The house has three generously sized bedrooms, two bathrooms and a cloakroom.
On the ground floor, the spacious master suite is a real treat, with breathtaking views of the mountains and featuring a separate dressing room and en-suite bathroom. Upon entering the master suite, you will encounter a king-size bed, complete with high-quality bedding for a restful night’s sleep. The room is tastefully decorated with modern furnishings, including seating where guests can enjoy spectacular views while enjoying a morning coffee or relaxing after a long day at sea!
The adjoining dressing room (with its own secret fridge and coffee station) offers plenty of storage space, including large bespoke floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes and a dressing table and mirror. The dressing room is perfect for getting ready for an evening out or a relaxing evening of ‘staying in’ and pampering.
The luxurious en-suite bathroom is a sanctuary, with a large walk-in shower, a deep soaking free-standing bathtub, underfloor heating and a vanity.
There are two large, bright, family rooms upstairs (each with double and single beds), with views of the countryside and ocean. All beds are dressed in fresh crisp linen and bathrooms are furnished with soft white towels.
An unexpected bonus is the stunning ‘cocktail room’, perfect for those who appreciate unwinding to the finer things in life after a long day of exploring. The cocktail room is the perfect space for entertaining and enjoying a cocktail or two with friends and family. Also, a retreat for those wishing to sneak off to a quiet place with the Sunday morning papers!
The property also accommodates working from home and offers a babysitting service, and an additional evening meal/breakfast option (provided by a local chef).
If you are looking for a luxurious retreat balanced with the comfort of a ‘home away from home’ this luxury house by the sea is the perfect choice for you.
